HATE-- The right keeps bringing it up, as in 90% of their posts?? why so obessed?
I see the Left throwing the word "hate" around all the time. Where have you been? They are the ones who are obsessed. "Hate speech?" The Right's "hatred" of blacks, immigrants, Muslims, etc. Homophobic, Xenophobic, Islamophobic ... etc. etc.
His promise to "fundamentally transform the United States of America" stems from his "progressive" (Marxist-socialist, communist ...they're all basically the same) philosophy. He believed strongly in wealth redistribution, "social justice," and every Leftist cause.
He made many big promises but did not live up to any of them.

Explain what you mean by "his crony capitalist mindset."
Everything he did was to benefit Wall Street. I also believe I said "corrupt crony capitalist". He allowed every single corrupt banker to walk free and rake in millions more at the expense of main street.
Why is it not possible to have a discussion with the Leftists about this interview and have some dialog? They only want to trash it with no meaningful commentary.
Most, yes but not all and the big one was a (D). If Clinton does not sign it does not happen.
This was a failing of the Democratic party in that era, they picked a southern Democrat with a lot of conservative support. In a sense he was a compromise candidate, a 'middle of the road' or 'centrist' politician. The south had been sliding into Republican affiliation and the Democratic party reacted by settling upon someone acceptable to conservatives.
I did not like it when he signed the bill dismantling Glass-Steagall, it felt it was a betrayal of the people, but it was the Republicans in congress who pushed the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (all three being Republican sponsors) also known as the "Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999" and the Democrats were the majority who opposed it. This was not the only time Clinton went against the left wing of his party.
In November 2008, self-described paleoconservative philosopher Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". This was republished in December under the title "The Decline and Rise of the Alternative Right" in the conservative Taki's Magazine, making this the earliest published usage of the phrase in its current context according to Slate. In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the alternative right. The term, however, is most commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right
Looks like you are presenting "alt- facts".
Well, I'm not the first to deny the existence of an "alt-right," and Slate is certainly not a credible nor definitive source. Neither is Wikipedia, the primary benefactor of which is George Soros.
Frankly, I've never heard of any of those people mentioned, nor have I ever heard of the publication, "Taki's Magazine."
The first I've heard this term (alt-right) was during this past political campaign, and it was used by Hillary Clinton whenever she described Trump supporters. So, again, define for me what the Democrats mean by "alt-right?" Is there also an "alt-Left??

Well, to them it seems to fit.
Repudiate phobic policies and people won't say that.

Well then, it appears that you were mis-informed and asserted your opinion as fact.

Democrats did not coin the term, so when using it they can only mean whatever the self-identified alt-right people identify with themselves.
As for myself, I am not a Democrat, but I have started to lean in their direction out of sympathy. I might switch over.
These conversations have been very enlightening, and I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the various topics and their backgrounds.
(Gulp).. I think I may be Alt-Right. I'm a little quiet about it, but after reading of our "sins of belief", I'm pretty sure I'm guilty.
No matter. In fact it shows the incompetence of the left. They take what I truly believe and insult me - as if that would change my mind!
Did they think insulting me was a path to conversion?..... Apparently so; Obama spent 8 years publicly insulting Republicans.
Not very smart.
