Hillary Clinton

There is certainly a strategic reason for Democrats to play down Clinton: three more years
under press scrutiny will only make her less appealing. But there are other reasons to
question whether America needs another Clinton presidency.
I remember asking a Republican friend over dinner to name a single policy of Bill Clinton
that they opposed and seeing them stumble (oral sex in the Oval Office isnt a policy). The
left has far more to despise about Bill than Republicans: he deregulated the banks, thereby
setting the stage for the financial crisis; he passed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996,
shredding the social safety net and forcing many poor women into the workforce; he signed
into law economy-crushing free-trade agreements without environmental or labor
protections; he escalated the War on Drugs, flooding American prisons with poor blacks
and funneling billions to law enforcement agencies that abandoned practical policing in
favor of SWAT-like tactics.

Note: I apologize for misplacing or losing sight of the source.
