Discussion: Hillary Who? Why The GOP Wants To Take Young People Back To The 90's

Discussion for article #222328

So, as Hillary is looking to the future, the Republicans will be looking to the past. However, they will tell us we shouldn’t be scrutinizing their past. Double standard? Absolutely!

In other words, Republicans are looking to rewrite history and what?..Pretend it was Shrub that created all those millions of jobs and a budget surplus? Uh sorry, that’s not gonna work. Dumbass W. spent that once in a lifetime surplus the Clinton administration helped create, gave massive tax breaks to the wealthy, and sent the country spiraling into two of the longest wars in US history. But really, never underestimate the Republicans to make shit up and find ways to rewrite history…they’ve been desperately trying to do it for St. Ronnie for years.

The GOP has nothing positive to run on so they have come up
with yet another plan to tear Hillary down.

The disastrous presidency of George W Bush is still fresh in everyone’s mind, and no amount of bad mouthing the Clinton’s will wipe that away.

I wonder if the Republicans realize, no obviously they don’t, how easy it will be for the Democrats to take all this “negative” bs and say the Republicans haven’t changed. Rather than governing they spend their time looking under rocks trying to create scandals where none exist and magically making mole hills into mountains. Meanwhile the unemployed stay unemployed, our bridges and roads are crumbling, the seas are rising and more of our children go hungry at night.

Yup. Fake scandals were all they had in the '90s, just like fake scandals are all they’ve got now. “Same as it ever was… Same as it ever was…”

When the only “millennials” you know are young white men with trust funds and Roman numerals at the end of their names and young white women with trust funds whose middle name is their mom’s prominent family name, this is what you think will appeal to millennials.

The secret of the R’s success is to get the Democrats to buy into their fictional world. Clinton has been highly popular since about 1998, with approval ratings regularly at 60 percent and often well above. The political idiot Al Gore banned Clinton from campaigning, even in the South, even in Florida, where in the last 2 weeks Ralph Nader was busy destroying the 21st century.

The goal is not to tar the Dems with Clinton, but to convince them to go 2000 and exclude him.

Given Bills success campaigning for Obama I don’t see this as a viable plan nor do I see Hillary or the Dems buying into it.

Allow me, wing nuts, to play devil’s advocate. Because the millennials think 20 years ago is ancient history, you’re going to talk incessantly about—ancient history! And which history? The history where you engineered a fake-ass impeachment against a popular President because he got a blow job, thus proving you’re rabid about destroying political foes you can’t beat electorally and proving also you have no regard for democracy or the rule of law. Then, now, ever. Go ahead, as my mom used to say, be what they call you.

A majority of Milennials want nothing to do with repubs and their take us back to the 20th century goals. In fact as I move around the web, I see a lot of stuff showing that Milennials love the 1990s! So be careful repubs, you could be reminding them of President Bill Clinton and the good old days. Why wouldn’t they want more of the same with Hillary???

Another 3 years of vast sums spent, demented politics, divided people and off-point media speculation as Rome burns…

Folks…if they think they can use faded memories to do the impossible more power to them. All that crap, the same crap being talked about in this bit, did not work when the memories were fresh. Bill Clinton got reelected and Hillary Clinton easily won her Senate bid. That’s the memory the GOP needs to get a grip on.

If republicans had anything to offer this wouldn’t even be a topic. Young people are not as stupid as repugs hope they are.

And with GOP in charge they’ll take us all the way back to 1850.

They have turned off the youth, the woman vote and all the minorities as a speech by Reince Preibus ( If that IS a real name) acknowledged about three seconds after the Romney debacle.

See as Wile. E Coyote…sorry, I meant America Rising…places rakes all over the ground in order to trip up Hillary Clinton.
A cunning plan. Let’s watch what happens…

Are they aware that millennials were only 10 years old when Bill Clinton was elected President? Millennials became adults around the time W’s disastrous presidency began. Some of them served in his wars of choice. Many of them entered the worst labor market since the ‘30s during W’s terms. They saw their parents’ net worth reduced by 30-40% in 2007-8. Who was running the show from 2001-2008?
