Quote:This is something I have been pondering for some time now. There is really no rhyme nor reason for it, but it is what it is. Back in the 1990's, Bill Clinton became the president of the United States. I didn't vote for the guy either time. However, in hindsight, he seemed to do an average job. Nothing spectacular, but respectable for the most part. To his credit, he seemed to have his heart in it for America and Americans. When his term in office ended, he tended to stay out of the limelight about as much as any exiting President, and handled his post-presidential life with at least a bit of class. Now, fast forward to 2008 when his "wife" threw her hat into the ring for Presidential consideration. Long story short, she lost to an unknown Senator who threw her a bone by making her SOS. She bungled that job horribly (not sure who was worse: her or Kerry). Then came 2016 and she was by all means "the anointed one. I remember seeing bumper stickers as early as 2013 that said, "I'm ready for Hillary"

 

After seeing the events unfold over the past 90 days or so, I couldn't be happier that President Trump won. One of the biggest reasons is the purpose of this post/thread. How can a seemingly decent enough guy be president and do an average job running the country be married to such a radical ideologue who's views aren't even close to being on par to her husbands? She is so far out in left field, good ol' Bill would have to use long distance billing just to speak to her. 

 

I really don't understand how those two can come from the same family. I know it's family by marriage, but still....  I never thought of Bill Clinton as flat out un-American. I can say that about his wife and the preceding president without thinking twice.

 

It really is a strange thing. I wonder if Bill will try to get out once all the smoke clears from this past election. I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did.

 

I think it clearly illustrates how radicalized the ideals have become on the left, taking them even farther from the center of reason.  The actions of their supporters, in both word and deed, show how militant the following is.  It's quite startling when you stop to think about it, for those of us who have lived through the dramatic shift farther left since the 90s.

 

Bill was not radical.  He was sensible.  He did his share of triangulation and demagoguery, but that was his method.  Again, as you said, the worst always seemed to come from his wife.  She was the attack dog behind the scenes, making "enemies" lists and trying to discredit and destroy them.  At the time, it was pretty outrageous. Today, it's become their modus operandi.  Scarier still, their supportive media is not longer objective but complicit in their overt support of such smear campaigns.  It clearly illustrates how far away from a common sense center the party and their followers have become.
