So Clinton gets impeached, what then? We get stuck with President Gore.
After seeing how Gore turned out, we definitely lucked out that the fix was in for Clinton. Nature of unintended consequences worked out for us. An interesting counterpart is that when the time is up for a political sock puppet, the inevitable closet of skeletons is cycled 24/7 and the individual can’t wait to retire or is quickly forced out or is crushed in an election. But they always have a replacement lined up to carry on the work (Boehner / Ryan is just the latest example of that).
