The 2016 presidential campaign is being driven by two politicians: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The Republican race is being shaped by conservative rage at Obama.
The Democratic race by liberal wariness of Clintonism. Seven years of President Obama have driven Republicans over the edge. They despise him and everything he stands for. What’s shaping the Republican race is the fury of rank-and-file Republican voters at their own party. Republicans have taken control of Congress yet they still can’t stop Obama: He has veto power.
