Clinton simply pretended it was still there a year after the fact and lied his way into office on the false claim that it was.

Lied his way into office...was George Bush struck dumb? Was the Republican party incapable of getting its message across?

Lied his way into office

Do you believe Bill Clinton was telling the truth then when he said the economy was in the dump in late 1992? If not, then yes. He lied his way into office.

Was the Republican party incapable of getting its message across?

When you've got a major party candidate telling constant lies and a media cheering him on and supporting those lies, it is inescapably difficult to counter them on a comparable scale. Throw in a Perot and the task becomes near impossible.
