From Woodward’s book, The Choice - p 65:

...Clinton held a secret strategy session in the White House with Hillary, Gore, Panetta, Ickes and several cabinet secretaries. clinton asked everybody to keep the discussion private. He said he wanted to recapture winning themes of his 1992 victory, with emphasis on the middle class and traditional party groups such as labor. But it was a mushy meeting, and because some details soon leaked to the media no more such large sessions were held.

As Clinton continuned his search, he lamented that he could not see a big, clear task before him. Part of him yearned for an obvious call to action or even a crisis. He was looking for that extraordinary challenge which he could define and then rally people to the cause. He wanted to find that galvanizing moment.

“I would have preferred being president during World War II” he said one night in January 1995. “I’m a person out of my time.”

Hillary Clinton is right to warn that a new terrorist attack on the US would help Republicans. Fear and trumped-up threats can be used to gain power.

Didn't keep the Socialists cowards in Spain from gaining office.

It isn’t ANOTHER Clinton presidency, it is an unconstitutional attempt at continuing the SAME Clinton co-presidency.
