H3ll yes.

The writer and the various dudes and dudettes quoted exhibit serious denial. No wonder the loss caught them by surprise.

Praise the Lord, we have been delivered.

...”I suspect that Politico’s concept of Clintonism is grossly divorced from the reality of it.”...

Oh, Yes: The Jennifer Flowers story along with what was known about the Arkansas “mafia” would have done Bill Clinton’s candidacy in the first time, if third party candidate, Ross Perot, had stayed out of it. I think the voter turnout was in the 20-something percentage. Mr. Perot owns much of the blame for the decline of our nation since then, especially regarding the rise of corruption and the moral decline. Perot handed that election to Clinton.

I need to correct myself. The voter turnout in 1990 was 36.52%.

Be patient. I sense a calm before the storm for them and the media.

I made a terrible mistake. It's Vidkun Quisling, not Vitus. I'll have to turn in my history degree now for that...

"Clintonism" Liberalism was a forty-years long political agenda fronted by... fake marriage..."

Fake marriages are a lynchpin of modern liberalism which seeks to undermine societal norms.

There is no doubt that Perot handed that election to Clintigula.

Another problem was that George Bush was a globalist New World Order type. Which the public didn’t want then, and doesn’t want now. NAFTA was pushed on Clinton, who IIRC didn’t really want it, but went along anyway. And once in when whole hog.

Since 1988 we have been governed by a series of fools who were beholden to some other ideology that did not put America first. With Bush it was the NWO, with Clinton it was themselves, Bush 2 back to the NWO, and Obozo, himself and islam first.

America needs Trump, may he do right by her.

Perot's 1992 campaign is going to forever mystify me.

I was one of his volunteers. I was 18, had a voter registration card still fresh with ink. Bush had been a disappointment and I NEVER trusted the Clintons. I threw myself into the Perot camp with abandon. So did a lot of other people. A lot of GOOD people and no doubt many of them voted for Trump last month.

Had Perot not gone wacky and dropped out, then returned to the race, he would have won. He had that kind of momentum going for him. And then he threw it away and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get it back.

Had he not withdrawn in the summer of '92, the past quarter century might have been a far better time. No Clintons. No attempt at a Bush "dynasty". No Obama.

Time has seen me change a lot of my beliefs. Many of which are incompatible with the Perot I supported in high school. But by and large, a Perot presidency would have left a far better country than what we ended up getting.

If this author represents current Democrat thinking the Democrats will be in the wilderness a long time.

The Democrats have lost touch with reality. Their brand is bankrupt.
