Who would govern closest to '90s Bill Clinton?

[Dazey]

I've heard Hillary is further to the left than he...So of the field of candidates, who is the closest to the center?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Hillary, of course.

[Free Bird]

Honestly, Pataki

[BlueSwan]

The GOP has moved FAR to the right since then. Remember that Obamacare is basically the GOP health care plan from the 90's. None of the pubs would come close to Bill Clinton.

Hillary is to the left of Bill, but as of now she would still be the closest, unless a more centric dem enters the race.

This is such an exaggeration.  John Kasich was literally in Congress during the Clinton administration.  It has some truth, but it's mostly a narrative that helps Democrats get swing voters.

John Kasich was relatively conservative in the 1990s GOP.  He's relatively moderate today.

Ron Paul was also in congress then....

The fact that Bush, Kasich and others of that creed are called RINO's nowdays, the fact that so many conservatives have faced tea-party primaries and the fact that the 3/4 of the favorites for 2016 are very right wing proves that.

The democrats have inched slight left since the 1990's, where as the GOP have completely jumped

lolno

Paying lip service to SSM and reproductive rights while caving-in on free trade and trade unions doesn't make you a center-left party; when the Democrats start pushing for a guaranteed minimum income, call me.

Rand Paul with the Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress.

I didn't call them centre left did I? To quote G.W read my lips.

I said they moved slightly leftwards, rather than moving to the left. George W.Bush moved slightly leftwards by expanding medicare-that doesn't make him left wing

Except that the Democrats, like the GOP, have actually moved toward the right since the 1990s.

Their abandonment of the American working class in favor of West Coast latte liberals is evidence of such. 

As several people have pointed out, Obamacare was actually more conservative than Clinton's health care reforms of 1993 and its all that Democrats could do to pass it even with a filibuster-proof Senate majority.  The Democrats certainly aren't more liberal than there were in the 1980s and early 1990s.
