picture of the 92 convention, bill clinton, hillary clinton, al gore, tipper gore standing there smiling and waving and somebody noted that three of the four people on the stage that night would win the popular vote for president but only one of those three would become president. yeah. extraordinary thing. i m listen to steve kornacki talk about this. those of us in our age group went through that in the 1990s. another thing to steve s point is fact we can all remember in bill clinton s term, he won west virginia. there s literally not a state in the country right now that s not more pro trump than the state of west virginia. a state in our adult lifetime a state democrats could win and now it s so far outside that the democrats don t even compete in presidential elections. this speaks to profound changes
bill clinton not able to estrada tell divide the first couple of years. joe has some experience there in 95 and 96 and then a backlash to newt gingrich and rise of blue america in 96. bill clinton s impayment. that turned off those culturally sensitive voters. a series of batles atles and flareups. bill clinton and al gore in 1992 were nominated to win back the south, nominated as moderate from the south, the face of the democratic party and in 2000 al gore would have been president. forget about florida, if he could have won tennessee, his home state of tennessee. by 2000 he couldn t do that. by 2000 bill clinton was the face of the south, arkansas base, he and hillary said the future is new york. he built his future and she built her future on the heart of blue america. john heilemann i saw a
