mr. gingrich was the better politician than he. he figured out how to nationalize the government. >> neil: one thing about bill clinton, he could have followed the parade or he led it. he led it with welfare and all the other things and went on to get re-elected easily. i'm wondering what kind of things this president could take if he is faced with the same circumstances. >> you know, sometimes when you go through hardships, you learn how to become more centrist, you learn how to reach out to the people on the other side. >> you figure out what went wrong. these kinds of things help leaders all the time. clinton learned. he was more of a centrist after that he reached over and he easily won that re-election. that's true for leaders in general. sometimes adversity will shape you. i think if i could just get in my favorite mid-term election is 1942. the democrats lost badly. it was partly because the war wasn't going well. it was going to be -- in north africa, right before the mid-term. roosevelt said it's up to you to decide, not t
