- dragonwriter 10y agoThe main reason Bill Clinton had no trouble forming those relationship is because he was a conservative Democrat, leader of the conservative Democratic Leadership Council, an organization that consistently reinforced Republican economic policy messaging while undercutting the Democratic left and the party's relafionship with its traditional base (particular the working class) by advancing neoliberal policies that were barely distinguishable from contemporary Republican policies. Being a white rural southerner probably helped, too.
