#2 if Gore had become Pres in 98, W probably would not have been elected in 2000 then Obama might not have been elected in 2008 and ditto for trump in 2016

#3 Times readers having an apoplectic fit

Unless it results in mass Seppuku, I could care less.

#4 "What if Ken Starr was right?"

Why did the left wing press not do due diligence back then? Was the left wing agenda more important than anything else?

I'm wondering what the upcoming mini-series, Waco is going to look like? Another snow job or factual.

#5 Should have prefaced comment with a "Not a What if question."

#6 Why did the left wing press not do due diligence back then?

They did. They just couldn't find anything on Bob Dole.

#7 Clinton was not impeached for fooling around with Monica. He was impeached for perjury, among other charges.

#8 Judge Moore has not been known for lying (or fooling around) despite what Gloria A. says.

#9 After Perez cleared out a lot of Bernie and Pocahontas professional staff at the DNC, a lot of dems/progs saw the groundwork for yet another hildabeest run. This is about gutting that before it gets any kind of legs, and telegraphing its ok for the stories to come out. Watching Clinton Inc, circle the wagons and shriek with coded threats about their much-feared dirty stories library, many are just laying low. But there are far too many bodies for even the Queen of Darkness to silence, and I think the crumbling of the Foundation takes away the candy store to buy off those that really know the dirt.

#10 Why did the left wing press not do due diligence back then?
The way I remember it a number of Dems sat out that year certain that Bush the Elder was going to win. By the time the economy started to stumble it was too late.

Clinton (like Obama after him) ran as a test and somehow got traction. Then once the Dems actually won an election they thought they couldn't win they just rallied around their guy no matter what was said.
