Hillary in Midair

19. Actually I was alive when FDR was in office

So I've seen a lot of misguided policies embraced by ambitious Democratic politicians anxious to suck up to what the media calls the "makers" (the 1%) at the expense of the "takers (the rest of us)' In my lifetime, Bill Clinton was without question the elected Democratic president who tried hardest to be a republican. And he's only gotten worse since he left office.

As far as prosperity during the Clinton years is concerned I won't deny that it was there. We all rode the dot com bubble (helped along by Clinton appointees and Wall Street thieves Larry Summers and Bob Rubin) to dizzying heights and then watched it crash just about the time Clinton left office.

And you didn't even mention the end of welfare as we used to know it or media consolidation, both attempts by Clinton to convince republicans he was one of them.

If you are a middle class American, Clinton is not your friend. He's a glib speaker and he's good at sounding concerned about the plight of the middle class but he's a card carrying member of the 1% and happy to be there.
