Are you calling Bill Clinton a progressive? He's the one that really put the DNC on their fast track to the right. he was playing from the same playbook as Tony Blair. He won in 92 because HW Bush reneged hard on his 88 campaign slogan of "No New Taxes"
In 1992 he was a young charismatic politician running on a progressive platform.
How he disappointed people while in office is important, but not really relevant when we're just talking about how to win an election.
