Which revisionist theory is worse?

[Arbitrage1980]

Clinton 1992 was a re-alignment, although that was not the consensus at the time. He won by running as a charismatic moderate southern democrat who eschewed the stagnant urban liberalism of his party while rejecting the harsher elements of Reaganism. But the re-alignment occurred because of his relatively successful presidency on the domestic front, mainly the sharp reduction of crime and strong economic growth. This was critical because it won over college-educated suburban whites who used to vote GOP at the presidential level. Also, the GOP's rightward shift on social and cultural issues alienated new england, mid-atlantic, upper midwest, and the west coast.
