In only 12 other states was he able to get ever 45%. Clinton won a majority in only two state-like entities: Arkansas and DC.
True Clinton was up against Ross Perot who got 19% as well as Bush, but Clinton might well have lost were it not for Perot, in which case he would have joined Michael Dukakis in the hall of shame. Bill Clinton got 43.9% of the vote in 1992, while Michael Dukakis – purportedly the worst of all candidate – got 45%. This opened the door wider for the even more venal neo-cons and their candidate, George Bush.ĬLINTON WAS NOWHERE NEAR as good a politician as the Washington media and political establishment has claimed and the myth has proved to be a destructive fantasy for the party. The result was the Arkanization of the capital under which the only standard became whether you could get away with it. Early in his administration they swore a loyalty that not only blinded them to his faults and corruption but left their brains devoid of ideas and arguments with which to take on the conservatives.ĬLINTON DRASTICALLY LOWERED the standards of national politics with the help of a Washington establishment that rushed to his assistance as each scandal developed. As Harry Truman pointed out, given a choice between a real Republican and someone who talks like one, the public will favor the real one.ĬLINTON NEUTERED PROGRESSIVE organizations ranging from Americans for Democratic Action to women’s and black groups. While Bush has clearly proved more venal and deadly and far more destructive of the American republic, it is a fair reading of history to say that Clinton was the warm up band for George Bush, towit:ĬLINTON, WITH NO LITTLE HELP from the Democratic Leadership Council, discredited and destroyed long standing principles of social democracy that had guided the party since the New Deal. BILL CLINTON AND GEORGE BUSH are the two most corrupt individuals to have occupied the White House in modern times.
