Don’t think the press glombed on to him for who he is. They would have fawned over any new candidate that they could put a positve spin on. Hillary had baggage and the country knew it. They just wanted a dem in the white house. He was convenient and now they can turn on him until the next election. When they still won’t want a conservative in the white house.

I think they also wanted to throw off the Clinton yoke. Remember it was the old guard, beltway Democrats who decreed Obama’s ascendancy. I think they resented the Corleones of Arkansas dominating them.
