@EvilBunny: Yeah, the Clinton era of "the high road" was really the "we have everyone in the press but Fox News and talk radio in our pocket and will gaslight everyone and the GOP for us".
Obama tried to high-road business and got pilloried for it.
The Democrats forgot they owe their everything to labor, to union organizers, to suffragettes, to millions of people who lived the civil rights battle instead of talking about it at cocktail parties, and more. Maybe they've remembered now.
