Excellent op-ed, tx! imho here's the money part (my count's still got us under our 1/2 or 300 words):

Bill signed banking deregulation legislation in 1999. He also pushed his own party to support the North American Free Trade Agreement, going to far as to send Al Gore out to debate NAFTA opponent Ross Perot...
...almost all these achievements came after Republicans took control of Congress in 1995...
...Hillary has come out against all these achievements? She wants to sharply raise taxes on capital gains, massively increase spending and pile more regulations on banks. She opposes free trade deals as anti-worker and has rebuked her husband’s welfare reform and tough-on-crime initiatives.
And if Bill did try to enact any genuine pro-growth fiscal policies, he’d face a rebellion among his own party, which has been completely taken over by hard-core, uncompromising, anti-free-market leftists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
It won’t make any difference whom Hillary puts in “charge” of the economy if she insists on pushing the no-growth, big government policies her party now demands.
