I agree about the double standard.

Mind-boggling to think that Hillary’s thesis would have been devastating to the Clintons in the 90s. Today, it’s not even an issue. The extreme left has gained a lot of ground.

Good observation.

In all fairness, I don't agree with that. I remember that election pretty clearly, and I don't think it would have been much of an issue, no matter what she said.

She could have stated in plain language that she had become a Communist, and it would have made no difference to anyone other than dedicated conservatives.

The MSM would have buried it under a lot of excuses and poppycock, and that would have been that.

Just read something about the “ Hundred Monkeys.” Get enough to change, and they all fall in line. Hope Hillary has not gotten to that point yet.

What an excellent point. And the Clintons certainly helped move us in that direction. Hillary had to pretend to be devastated that her man had strayed. Clinton had to pretend to be tough on crime and welfare. They had to be against gay marriage! If Bill had run on helping transgenders find a safe place to pee, he would have lost 50 states!
