31. wrecked is a dubious word, lol
Even if you reject "wrecked" as a good word, it is
well to remember how things played out back then. To the
complete frustration and outrage of the Republicans, Bill
Clinton preempted them on issues such as welfare reform. That
is, classic liberal issues on which he would ordinarily be
"attackable" were no longer useful as weapons by his
opponents. Clinton moved the Democratic party to the center in
order to win. I believe Clinton was masterful in this
strategy.

However, I believe there may be flawed logic in the idea that
what Clinton did necessarily helps Obama.
