1. She was tricked into joining it. Sort of like the Iraq thing.

2. She was tricked into being an original member.
And Bill Clinton was tricked into being the DLC president for 2 years.

3. I prefer Hillary saying she's DLC supporting DLC policies vs Obama just supporting DLC policies

12. Bill Clinton was chair of the DLC back in 1990-91
He used it to build up his network of contacts and as a springboard for his Presidential campaign, which started in October 1991.

The DLC was set up after the 1984 Presidential election (when Reagan-Bush won 49 states) with the purpose of making it possible for a Democrat to win the Whitehouse. Many prominent DLC members supported Al Gore's candidacy in 1988.

With Bill Clinton in 1992, the DLC finally achieved its main goal of taking back the Whitehouse.

So I guess that might explain Hillary's involvement with the DLC.

13. If the DLC were so bad, it seems like Bill Clinton's record would not have been so damn good.
