Well, you may have a point that the shutdown led to Clinton’s reelection. But the way I see it, the shutdown FORCED Clinton to adopt some of the spending cuts the House wanted. This led to an improved economy and eventually a budget surplus. Clinton immediately took credit for the budget he had been dragged kicking and screaming to. So yes, you’re right, the shutdown gave us 4 more years of Clinton.

You are correct that the shutdown led to forcing Clinton’s caving to the right’s policies, however I wanted to clarify one simple thing. The reported “surplus” was a twisting of data and was never actually realized. It was always just a “forecast.”
