(2,943 posts)The problem here is the Conservative Democrats got this country into this mess back in 1968 when they did not know how to deal with the likes of President Richard Nixon. In the long run Nixon did himself in, only because the man was extremely paranoid.
Then in 1976 the Democratic Party did not know how to deal with Jimmy Carter, the infighting was unreal with the dirty laundry out in public view for everyone to see.
That allowed an actor who ruined the Screen Actors Guild and the California Public Education System to come in with one liners and capitate the country for the next 12 years. Reagan's was the most corrupt administration since the administration of President Warren G. Harding.
Then we have the Presidency of William Clinton. A campaign and administration of I am on the left moving to the right. After he got through with an eight year term, Al Gore had a little better than a slim chance of winning. Gore did win, but who was in control of the country?
Now it is Hillary Clinton's turn, we are in real trouble. The Establishment Democrats have been blowing it for the past 48 years and they want more because its their turn? Shit!!!
