There is a portion of them that are only casually involved in political discourse and considerations — like low information voters of all age segments.
There are also highly educated that have drank the kool-aid of equivalency for the modern left. They see the EU style democratic-socialism as equally satisfactory as a system of government. They do not understand the Armed Doctrine for the road to oblivion that it is. They are longing for the plush prosperity of the Clinton/Newt 90s and giving all the credit to Clinton.
I don’t know that either deserve credit. It was a function of the dot com boom, which was quickly followed by the dot com bust. Exactly the same as our current low gas prices are a function of the fracking boom. That certainly isn’t something Obama wanted to happen. The federal government doesn’t always have complete control of the economy even when they want to.
The government has complete control over certain things including their budget, their debt and the military. Those are the things they should be judged on rather than the entire economy.
