Clinton was a Third Way Democrat, essentially a moderate Democrat that bought into the Reagan Revolution. Remember that Clinton ran on cutting waste in government and downsizing the bureaucracy, stimulating job and economic growth, and reforming the military for the post-Cold War world that would be smaller but more agile. He was hawkish on using US power in foreign policy. Essentially, a Kennedy Democrat.

His flying monkeys tried to veer left, especially with the health care debacle led by Hillary, but the Gingrich-led takeover of the House forced policy back to center-right.

If not for his personal foibles, Clinton would have been a fine President. I voted for him in 92.
