    I agree. I voted for Hillary, but we were all sick of the dynastic candidates back then. Two Bushes followed by two Clinton’s rubbed people the wrong way.

    Plus, the right had been demonizing Hillary for so long, people on both sides were tired of it.

    That’s all before actual policy issues.

    She was a poor candidate choice.

        Agreed. It’s recency bias. Reagan caused horrible damage as well. I don’t remember much specific about Bush Srs fckery.

        9/11 was coopted into some seriously bad actions and policy. If it weren’t for the attack Bush 2 may have been a 1 term president.
