If you were around in the 1990's you watched Bill Clinton marginalize the Democratic Party. Everything and everyone he touched seemed to go down in flames, yet he is still standing. The Clinton years are best remembered for the rise of Newt Gingrich and the worst Democratic defeats in the Twentieth century. His successes, like welfare reform and NAFTA, would have made a Republican proud. His failures of securing universal health care, of uniting the country, and allowing genocide in Africa are troubling.
Bill Clinton brought his personal foibles to the White House. Who can forget his impeachment, his lying under oath, or his unethical relationship with a White House intern? Who can seriously think that the American public wants to put the Clinton's back into the White House?
The Clinton machine is churning away, attacking and destroying everything in their path. They will stop at nothing to try to win. Just the thought of men like James Carville, Howard Wolfson, and Lanny Davis hell-bent on winning at all cost makes most voters sick. They will undoubtedly win the Democratic nomination through a climate of intimidation, back room deals, and dirty politics, but the Party will be left in ruin.
Forget about the Republicans, there are too many Democrats who hate the Clinton's. They hate the thought of America being run by dynasties, they hate the thought of America having to relive the sex life of Hillary's disgraced, red-faced, spouse. A vote for Hillary is to guarantee a Republican victory. It will mean a huge Republican turnout and a depressed Democratic one, denying the great Democratic sweep that would otherwise occur.
Whether the Clinton's intend this or not, that will be the result. The troubling thing is, I think they do know, and they just don't care.
