1. Let’s reverse the proposition. Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are raging, unhinged, Leftists like Bill and HER Clinton. It seems someone here warned that Trump had donated $$ to the Democrat Party, and that he wasn’t a “true Republican” or a “True Conservative”.

   1. Kenji:

      You spelled HERR wrong……

      1. Jawohl, mein Herr

2. Almost all the MAGA people, I know, were Dems in the 80s and 90s. Many were also MAHA before there was a MAHA.
   Its my understanding that HRC was conservative in college. Its been decades, but I read her thesis on Saul Alinsky and didn’t find it to be that liberal.
   Wasn’t the tipping point the grotesquely unfair bailouts of 2008-2009?

3. Elon Musk has made the same assertion, that Bill Clinton was essentially MAGA.

4. Unless they are a traitor, shouldn’t all US presidents be wanting to make, and keep America, GREAT?

   1. exactly. lve been saying it from the very start, *what* is so OBJECTIONABLE about wishing prosperity and success for your OWN nation? the foundation and infrastructure, social, political, commercial, industrial, financial ALL of it is now ‘bad orange man’.
      acting and thinking like little children in the sandbox ganging up on the usurper.

   2. And let me note that in his UN address … MY President encouraged every other nation on the planet to Make Their Countries Great Again … esp. Western Europe … who are proactively dismantling their countries in the name of unchecked multi-CULTi immigration and Net Zero global warming SCAM.

5. Reading a room or in this case the prevailing mood of the country for political expediency isn’t anything new. The Clintons have it down to an art, Barry Soetero is a close second.
   The only thing left is how graceful you are when you’re called out for your flip floppery.
   There’s a distinct reason why they call him “Slick Willie”.

6. Interesting gossip:

   Folks are saying that Trump and Bill Clinton are friends and that Tump is not releasing Eppstein stuff to protect Bill.

   Bill famously had priority boarding privileges on the Lolita Express.

7. The left made Clinton go commie to avoid an impeachment conviction. Perhaps Monica Lewinsky was a leftist plant to entrap him.
   Al Gore must have been plotting it while sitting behind him during the presented speech.

8. All DeMarxists specifically, and progressive parasites generally, care about is their power, privilege and wealth.
   They’ll do and say anything to service that, including lies, contradictions, obfuscation, lawfare and hypocrisy.
   The sooner voters en masse figure that out, if ever, civil society can get back on the course of protecting liberty.

9. The legacy of Bill Clinton’s presidency was greatly shaped by James Carville. Those of us who lived through the two terms recall that Clinton governed by consensus. IOW, he did, absolutely, nothing without first tossing the issue to the polls. James Carville is a rat faced pragmatist. He got Clinton elected using polls. He’d go to a swing state and poll the constituents to see what the most important issue was to them, and where the majority came down on that issue. Then he’d get Clinton out there to monopolize that issue. That’s how he won his second term even though his personal reputation was in the proverbial toilet. There are political comics from those eight years of Clinton standing in front of the White House with his finger up in the air figuring out which way the wind was blowing. It was disingenuous. Clinton (both Bill and Hillary) were and are disingenuous.

   Clinton (both of them) talked the talk when it was political expedient. They never walked the walk unless there was something in it for them. They were/are not ideologues. They are opportunists.
