Bill was a great president. So was Obama. I actually think Romney would have been a decent president too. He would probably beat Hilary if he ran this year.
Holy crap, two Presidential candidates talking in calm voices, taking their turns and respectfully disagreeing with their opponent? I wish I had lived in the 1990s.

@@JimmyJam1125 I generally agree with what you said. However, I do not agree with your statement of how "Hillary bowed to left ideologues on the party". She kind of snubbed the progressive part of the party and she ran as an establishment centrist. What I will say is that on social issues, the Democratic Party today has moved further to the left than during Bill Clinton's time (along with the rest of the country). On economics, it is more or less the same Clinton-style economic policies that dominate the Democratic Party, albeit during Bill Clinton's time, Dems were more populist in some ways and more progressive on Healthcare.
Bill Clinton was a master President smart and he always kept smart people around.. I don’t think anyone has come close maybe President Obama, but Bill Clinton was the best i would say in the past 50 years probably more.
I miss the 90's. My family came to the US in the mid 90's, my parents don't speak English and still got jobs in the manufacturing and assembly. It is definitely different time when comparing to today society and economy.
Actually Bill's success was based on the aftermath of Reagan's policies that manifested more in the 90's. Also Newt Gingrich was speaker of the house and John Kasich was in charge of the budget. It was Newt Gingrich who helped balance the budget and push welfare reform in the nineties after becoming speaker. Bill Clinton smartly went along with it knowing it would make him look good. But truthfully Bill created NAFTA and repealed the glass stegal Act which lead to the economic disaster in 2008. And NAFTA encouraged companies to move manufacturing overseas.
@@MatthewRedeye Well said, except Bush 41 created NAFTA, but couldn't get it through the House. NAFTA was voted to pass by a majority of Republicans and Slick Willie got enough of his corporate democrat cronies in the DLC to get it passed. Bill Clinton was a moderate Republican.

@@MatthewRedeye Then you don't know the roots of the Republican Party. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower were not conservatives. Hell, even Richard Nixon wasn't terribly conservative.
Obama did between 2009 and 2016. That said at this juncture, it would be possible, but challenging. We would need to (regardless of other factors) drastically increase certain taxes, especially those on people whose income is more than three million dollars a year, but probably to some extent across the board. Coincidentally, this is one of the many reasons Jo Jorgonson, or at least her plans would fail to lower the deficit by a significant margin. Second, the president and Congress would have to be rather careful about how they developed our financial safety net. That it needs modified to function in this modern, post industrial, post COVID, reality is obvious, but without careful, sustained consideration, it could wind up being disastrous, both for the deficit, and the American public. I doubt Biden will succeed, we have already established that Trump cannot.
@@johnsecheverell7824 All Jorgensen wants to do is change how we think about taxes, by instead of taxing our incomes, having a national sales tax and also having extremely high taxes on certain goods, like drugs, which will at that point be legal.

Jesus he is smooth, history hasn't been favorable to some of his policies but I see why he was able to win states like Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisiana. Completely different from Hillary's smugness and Biden's bumbling.

I also believe in other books he doesn't and 100% with them also. They are called the Book of Mormon, Doctrine And Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price. So there.
Bob Dole really missed his chance. If he was the nominee in 1988 I think he’d win and he’d have been a great president. Bill Clinton really was just unstoppable though, he was too good.
M'ember when politics used to be about quantifiable, measurable results and positions backed up with facts and figures rather than feelings and vague nothings?
I was a Trump supporter and I love Bill Clinton. I think Bill is the last truly great president we had, the dude balanced the budget, we had a surplus under him, he did welfare reform, he helped put the ed to the Bosnian war, he helped negotiate the OSLO accords between PLO and Israel, and har various education reforms. Too bad the Bush Jr's presidency ruined everything. Bill was a master smart president, the republicans just only like to after Bill on the Monica controversy and a lot of people just assume he was a bad president cause who his wife is.
A time when candidates showed respect for each other and debated honorably and clean. I have lived long enough to know the 90s was the last great decade for America.
Recent politics have ruined me. That whole time I was waiting for them to stop civilly discussing and start trying to yell insults at eachother. It's genuinely insane to me now that they could just discuss issues back then.
So should Reagan have in 84, considering he won nearly every state that year! The Democrats nominating Mondale pretty much gave him a free pass to a second term, as was the case when the Republicans did the same with Dole in 96 for that matter too! (L.O.L.!)
If someone had have interrupted this debate to cut to a clip from the future, showing the 2016 presidential debate, not a single person in 1996 could have believed it.
It is not because of disrespecting Bob dole(He already rests in peace)but he had no chance against Bill clinton, rather it seems that the Republicans knew that they had no opportunity to beat Bill clinton and as the Elections were approaching they sent anyone from the Republican Party to confront him knowing that he had no chance. Bob dole's bid for President was more of a thank you gift from the Republican Party for his years of loyalty and dedication.
Wow ! How debates have changed in the last 20 - 24 years . Does anyone remember when the politicians actually debated their difference of opinion in a civil manner ?

Dole was absolutely the sacrificial lamb in 2016 just as McCain was in 2008 and Romney was in 2012. Mondale was the Democrats sacrificial lamb in 1984 and John Kerry was in 2004. Some argue that Kamala Harris was the sacrificial lamb in 2024
I remember this debate, what happened to debating like this when it was about the economy and real issues ..not personal attacks and cheap shots and rediculous interruptions ..those were the days..
This is a perfect example of a battle of charisma vs no-charisma. With an opponent like Dole, you don't even have to do much. Just let THEM talk and by the end of the debate most people will dislike that person because of THEM themselves.
" I miss the days when presidents spoke well and respected their opponents " No matter they shafted the American people and visited carnage on the world routinely but at least they were polite )))
Trump has broken nearly every promise he made in 2016, spending 1/4 of his entire presidency on the golf course. I'd take anybody over Trump right now, even Romney. Just somebody who can actually talk like a human without having to argue or complain like a petulant child, that'd be nice.

Camo Jack not really. Even if he really wanted to he allowed himself to become corrupted.
Godzilla52 Trump can do that.
China's population is USA*4, even they reach nominal income per capita of USA they will pass them. It is very normal. USA's power lie in R&D and strong companies.
Economy is really strong under Trump right now, hopefully it continues.
Overall I support the republicans more than the democrats But I do think Clinton is the best currently living President.
4 more years for Clinton!
Wish we had debates and actual qualified candidates again.
Wow a real civilized presidential debate!
Amazing -- the candidates are not interrupting each other and they are not interrupting the moderator.
Anyone who expects anything resembling this on Thursday got rocks in their head.
Bill was a cool dude. He has personal issues but he was a good president.
put the controversies aside
clinton was one of the most accomplished presidents in office
In my opinion top ten president of all time
I believe we must move forward, not backwards, upwards, not forwards, and always twirling, twirling towards freedom.
Omg, he was really handsome and seductive
Dole?
Rich Dixon Getting a blowjob from a consenting women is considered rape now? Lol
Bill Clinton used public office to entrap women.
Oh look, it's Monica Lewinsky
@@angelgjr1999 you realize that he has been accused of rape right???
Now I understand why this guy served two terms.
American politics were much simpler back then.
The only reason Dole was there was because he was the next in line.
Same with Romney in 2012. Same with Hillary in 2016.
Dole was absolutely the sacrificial lamb in 2016 just as McCain was in 2008 and Romney was in 2012. Mondale was the Democrats sacrificial lamb in 1984 and John Kerry was in 2004. Some argue that Kamala Harris was the sacrificial lamb in 2024
Glad I lived in Clintons tenure. Have him back, in a heartbeat.
This guy has no charm, it’s no wonder he lost to Clinton.
He was great in those penis pill commercials though
I remember this debate, what happened to debating like this when it was about the economy and real issues ..not personal attacks and cheap shots and rediculous interruptions ..those were the days..
I like how they attacked the deficit. Since Obama that's no longer the case regardless of which party is in power.
Can I have Bob Dole of 1996 as president in 2018?
This is a perfect example of a battle of charisma vs no-charisma. With an opponent like Dole, you don't even have to do much. Just let THEM talk and by the end of the debate most people will dislike that person because of THEM themselves.
Damn! Hillary can learn a thing or two from this this guy. That's the Clinton I would have voted for, maybe.
What policy differences did Bill and Hillary have?
@Augustus Romanus So bill championed Hillarycare in the 90s because he opposed it?
@Augustus Romanus The cowards in Congress killed it -- not Bill.
Bill Clinton is such a better politician than Hillary Clinton it's not even funny.
We must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
Bill Clinton is probably the best president in my lifetime. I was a high schooler and college student during his tenure.
best president i have seen and i started with nixon!
As a lifelong Republican I miss these days. Slick Willy was a great Prez. Life was good in the 90's.
Bill Clinton is as cool as they come when it comes to public speaking. The lip bite women back in the 90s could not resist!
The Epstein girls loved it too.
"well there he goes again" calm down bob dole you are not ronald reagan
" I miss the days when presidents spoke well and respected their opponents "
No matter they shafted the American people and visited carnage on the world routinely but at least they were polite )))
uh they still do that and a lot worse
Trump has broken nearly every promise he made in 2016, spending 1/4 of his entire presidency on the golf course.
I'd take anybody over Trump right now, even Romney. Just somebody who can actually talk like a human without having to argue or complain like a petulant child, that'd be nice.
@@skewedsound yeah you are the reason the world is in shit...style over substance.
Trump for all his flaws is not starting wars like Bush/ obama .
But if you want your blue pill reality I guess that is what is important .
How many people need to die before you wake up??
Bob Dole is a friend of the debate industry. Bob Dole likes your style. BOB DOLE. BOB DOLE. BOB DOLE.
Classic simpson show
We need another Bill Clinton
He probably got back from Epstein’s island to just debate Bob Dole
He was the last democrat until Joe Biden to win either Georgia or Arizona. And Georgia and Arizona were the closest states this year.
what wouldnt i give to go back in time.....
I hate when politicians say they single handedly did things....Presidents don't write budgets that can fix the deficit.
Just like when they say that Ronald Reagan ended the COLD WAR!!!!
Exactly....Russia ended the Cold War with their anti-market policies. They ruined it for themselves...not the other way around.
He said "we" ... as in the whole country.
But they can veto them or make changes
Where is all the interruption in this segment? There isn’t any.
This is what a debate should look like
I seriously need to see Owen Wilson play as Bill Clinton in a movie
@Monk Pool I can’t really see it. Clive Owen on the other hand played President Clinton & did an excellent job.
@@2H2521 really? I definitely see the resemblance between Owen Wilson and a younger Clinton.
Travolta already did it, and was awesome.
A big difference in the Democratic President-Top Republican relationship that separates Obama and McConnell and Clinton and Dole....Bob Dole genuinely respected the decisions of President Clinton. He obstructed at times but didn’t always.
Those were the days .... seems like centuries ago we had basic civility (which we took for granted) !
