Clinton benefited from Bush I’s trainwreck as well The two presidents who succeeded by doing what carville wanted had multiple thumbs they didn’t control on the scale in their favor

clinton & obama were charismatic, fiercely intelligent, spectacular public speakers who even had The Jokes. those were all vibes elections. this is a very different world/country & those vibes don't hit any more. we had only a handful of billionaires back then. now they are legion & insane.

Yes, they’re both charismatic in ways that the current Dem system shoves down instead of elevating, BUT: Clinton also had an opponent who had so pissed off his base by reneging on “no new taxes” that he was primaried from the right of his own party despite being the incumbent
