People have been saying for days, weeks, and even months how Hillary was done, finished, tarnished, you name it, except burnt at the stake (despite essentially synonyms). But the fact that Hillary maintained her leads in the polls for the last 10 weeks, and just increased it in the last two weeks, is one half of the story. Even professional Clinton-basher Chris Cillizza noticed that things are better for Hillary than he wished.
The other half of the story is this: we've seen this movie before. It first premiered 19 years ago!
Does anyone here remember how Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole nationally by 8.5% and won 379 electoral votes in 1996? Yet this was at the time after Susan McDougall and Jim Guy Tucker (whose removal gave us Huckabee) had been framed, and Hillary had been "the first First Lady to be subpoenaed" in early 1996, File/Travel "gates" were fresh in the minds of voters and other fake controversies had occurred? Constant GOP-led congressional investigations were also going on too and the Paula Jones show as well?
Yet all throughout the race, Clinton held large leads over Dole, in spite of equal opportunity vote-thief and mandate-killer pro-choice pro-gay anti-NAFTA pro-gun-control Perot (The media peddled lie about 1992 has also been debunked before). Clinton also spent the last week of the '96 trying to take back Congress, both house and Senate races (instead of innundating large media markets which woulda given him a bigger margin and total), which shrunk his margin of victory over Dole. But still, he won, repeated and cemented many electoral votes we take for granted today, but back in 1996, were revolutionary to be Dem given their 1968-1988 records. And a win is a win is a win, bragging rights and "mandates" aside.
Oh yea, the Clintons were exonerated in Whitewater, File"gate,", Travel"gate,". You think the media is bad today? At least today we have bloggers, Facebook, and Twitter to debunk stuff to the world. Almost 20 years ago, we only had CNN and the nascent Fox News to give us the 24-hour politics/news fix. (People might attack me, but I suggest that anyone who gives credence to those fake scandals or the Perot-myth, the original Clinton sin, should be HR on sight)
So whether it be 2 decades ago, or today, with email "scandals," Benghazi (and the truth behind it), etc. being the media's reason to trash the Clintons, the past, present, and likely future, shows the media is out of touch with America.
