Description

The title of this show, as WFB explains, "is applicable, of course, only to the

presidential race. Other races for Senate seats, House seats, governorships, were very far

from being Republican routs ..." This show--with, as guests, two of Mr. Buckley's

colleagues and one of his nephews--canvasses them all, from Bill Clinton (JB: "Where

did the first two years of Bill Clinton's Presidency go? Because by the time we got into

the general election we found that 65 per cent of the American people were unaware that

Bill Clinton had raised taxes.... A majority of the American people were unaware that

he had tried to nationalize the health care of the United States of America") to the

Republican leadership in Congress (JO: "Newt is a dashing cavalryman-type leader. He

leads people in dramatic enterprises, as a result of which the Republicans won the House

in the first place. And because they won the House in the first place, he got in a position

to make these other mistakes").
