    Clinton became a Republican almost overnight after the first midterms of his administration. Basically you just said Republican policies were great for the country.

    Clinton got impeached because he betrayed his liberal base and had no one to defend him.

    There's another one. ExpressLane implied the same thing.

    I was praising them working together. The prosperity in the '90's was actually due in large part to Clinton's economic package, which nearly all of the GOP opposed.

    But Clinton did a great job of working w/ the GOP Congress. I'd say the same about Reagan working w/ the Dem Congress. Are you saying that Dems were responsible for the successes of the '80's?

    What a lunatic he is now. He's also been one of the more vocal proponents of the Big Lie.

    He could have had the legacy of a statesman. What he & Clinton accomplished by working TOGETHER in the '90's was great for the country, and probably the last time we've seen that kind of comity between the parties and commitment to working for the common good.

    Now, he's just a clown, dancing for Trump like the rest of 'em.

    Wow, do any conservatives actually know any history?! Amazing how ignorant they are. No surprise, Trump loves the uneducated.

    Both. They had a great working relationship. Clinton got to raise taxes while Republicans got to cut spending. Same as what I’ve always advocated.

    Nope


    The 1993 bill was passed without ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTE


    Gore came in to push it over the top




    NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR IT
