One chapter is a case study on Clintigula, specifically dealing with how he won re-election in '96. Morris says that after the Gingrich Revolution, he advised Clinton not to oppose the Republican Congress, but to sign every single bill they sent his way. The results were 1) a stronger economy thanks to Republican policies that Clinton could take credit for, and 2) the Republicans not having any issues to run on in '96 because everything they wanted to do had already been done. The second two years of Clinton's first term added up to eight years of Clinton.
I agree...Morris was politically astute and he has to take credit for clintoon getting a second term. But Morris wasn't around to control or fix the decline of that second term. clintoon didn't have anyone with foreign policy know-how in "control", much less himself.
I don't think Morris is right all the time, in fact, I think he's working as a "double agent" in many ways. He claims to have voted for Bush but I believe he burned clintonista bridges and kept his other links to dims. I listen to what he says but don't believe a lot of it.
