At the time I was a Democrat and I felt the party should move to where the American people were, to move to the middle.

Welfare reform, school choice, support for the death penalty - stuff like that I found very attractive and I thought the DLC might breathe new life into a moribund party.

The problem with that scenario is that it wasn't ever going to happen - and Clinton only came to welfare reform after the 1994 mid terms, and never was a supporter of school choice.

They began pushing HillaryCare instead of the things the DLC wanted that was part of the Clinton platform.

The public was turned off and it turned into a rout for congressional Democrats.

Twenty years later, they learned nothing and forgot everything.
