we gave up on the south with nominating mondale and dukakis. we go 8 years in the 90s only because of Bill CLinton being a son of the south and ross perot being a son of a bitch. Between 1967 and 1992 there were four years of Democrat leadership and only because of Watergate and...wait for it...Jimmy carter being a son of the south.
It is lunacy to think the DLC abandonment of democratic principles led to the party's failures in the last 40 years. WHere the hell did they go?
The DLC did not exist in 1984 and 1988 and look at the results.
It was never the DLCs abandonment of Dem values... It was the lunacy that caused to select uber-liberals that disenfranchises us from white SOuthern voters.. The DNC betrayed the south by changing its principles and allowing the Gingrich-led GOP to swoop in.
