Before the Clinton years!
After Clinton they were pretty much gone as movers & shakers of the party!
My Mom was a Bill Clinton kind of Democrat, he was Dem she ever voted for..she doesn’t recognize the Dem party anymore so has voted Republican ever since. with Caddell, even though he was a liberal, he was one of the few “Honest” liberals that existed, that you could have a conversation with, even though we disagreed on the issues, and still shake hands at the end of the conversation kind of person. A damn shame, a stroke, just horrible
