"The era of Big Government is over," announced Bill Clinton, to the despair and fury of progressives who liked any part of anything - regulatory, redistributive, or quasi-socialist - from the New Deal onward.
Actually, come to that, from the days of Wilson and TR onward.
If Bernie stumbles on this he hasn't the ideological courage of his alleged convictions.
He just hasn't got the balls.
A Clarifying Encounter
Josh Marshall.
On the candidates, I thought the debate began very well for Clinton and quite shaky for Sanders.
He got a very basic question about the size of government, one he would certainly get in a general election and one which I do not think he should shy away from.
But he wouldn't touch it.
Clinton was as strong and specific as he was hesitating and resistant to addressing specifics.
