DLC - Clinton anti-establishment.

Throughout and beyond the Clinton years, there persisted an enduring hostility to Clintonism in the establishment DC Democratic Party. It was evident in congressional (especially in the House) Democratic opposition to many of Clinton's signature initiatives; it got traction in Al Gore's rejection of Clintonism and everyone connected with it in his 2000 campaign; and reached fruition in 2002, when Democrats went forward with the anti-Clinton, Bob Shrum-driven message that we were "fighting" for prescription drug benefits at a time when the country was absorbed with national security concerns.

Indeed, the primacy of Shrum--the only major Democratic strategist with no involvement in either of Clinton's' campaigns--in the 2000, 2002, and 2004 Democratic campaigns, is a good example of how the hated DC Democratic Establishment hasn't been Clintonian for a good while.

...

This campaign will be anti-establishment, clearly, when we read things like that.

1. As long as Bob Shrum isn't involved

That'll be a good start, lol.

2. Right the DLCer New Donkey saying

to Progressives, "We don't support Clinton, really we don't. You just gotta believe us." "You can freely support Clinton since we at the DLC don't like Clinton. Really. Go and vote Clinton. "

Yeah, right.
