What could Clinton have done differently in 93-94 to prevent the GOP revolution?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

1. Not enact NAFTA
2. Not half-ass health insurance reform
3. Not half-ass allowing gays to serve openly in the military
4. Actual stimulus package
5. Do something else to turn out Democratic voters

i.e., he'd have to not be Bill Clinton, so there's really no way of preventing it

Also a time during which they did much better with Southern Whites, detracting credence from the notion that the old Southern Dems were right wingers.
