See, there's the rub.

Among Democrats, there are a wide variety of opinions about Clinton but, perhaps, the single most polarizing issue is NAFTA. The pro-labor Democrats will not forgive Big Dog for NAFTA. Other Democrats view globalization as an inevitable outcome of a more interconnected world.

Well, yeah, NAFTA's a problem. But it seems like "Other Democrats" is a bigger one. I can't remember much of anything but pro-labor Democrats before Bill Clinton. With varying degrees of devotion, sure, but the link between AFL-CIO COPE and the Democratic Party was recognized and respected by Democrats of every stripe, at every level.

Bill Clinton all but took labor out of the Democratic platform, and the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party has been fighting to put it back in every since.

That's what I haven’t forgiven him for.
