As the Clinton impeachment talk was starting, more than one FReeper commented he was finished one way or another and “he is just circling the toilet bowl, about to go down.”
Sad that he then ended his 2nd term with the highest recorded poll approval of any President at that point.
66% to 67% approval. With 73% of Americans endorsing his economic direction.
He certainly signed on to enough of what the Republicans wanted. (I think the term used to describe his approach was "triangulation".)
Never mind that Ralph Nader beat the spread Al Gore lost by Florida because of this, Clinton was able to be a Republican just enough to help him leave office on a positive note.
