Any candidate running on Clinton’s 1996 agenda would today be labeled a conservative Republican
Bill Clinton was re-elected in 1996 by 8.5 points, the most resounding victory by a Democrat since LBJ.
I don’t think people realize what a stick in the eye his campaign was to liberal Democratic orthodoxy.

My inflection point is when Candy Crowley tag teamed Mitt at the debate and he didn’t have the presence of mind to tell her to shut up & get stuffed
This was an inflection point. When VP Joe Biden argued that freakin’ *Mitt Romney* was out to reinstate slavery, GOP primary voters decided that *all* attacks on GOP candidates did not deserve credence. This moment led to Trump. There has been too little discussion of it.

Crazy idea: we reshore manufacturing where it used to located because there’s already infrastructure, labor & natural resources available there which caused it to thrive originally
Here are my concerns about Trump’s plans for 15-minute cities.
Centrally planned government-constructed cities remind me of former communist countries I’ve lived in.
It’s a WEF-inspired initiative to cut down on energy / carbon & stop humans from moving freely across spaces.
