Running for a Democratic seat in New York out of an uncontested seat is pretty thin "vetting" wouldn't you say? Certainly, it is no better than Obama's.
The last Clinton administration ended in impeachment and pardons after scandal after scandal for eight straight years.
The result? Fully half of the electorate would sooner vote for OJ Simpson than for another Clinton.
Some vetting, just because everyone knows about your horrible mistakes that does not mean they are willing to send you back to repeat them.
Even Democrats have legitimate gripes. We spent the 90s defending the Clintons rather than actually doing all of the things she now promises. In the end, we not only discovered that judgment in the Clinton administration was as bad as the worst critics said it was. That and watching our party publicly humiliated as we got top learn all about the Clintons' dysfunctions. Some record.
The party had to launch a protracted battle not for education or health care, but to save the Clintons' own skins. Now the Clintons actually seem to think that WE owe THEM something.
This is just too much.
You are right. The Clintons do have a strong record. Unfortunately, it is a record of putting themselves before either their party or their country.
