I would agree to that. I don't remember if it was quite this pronounced
when Gore ran, but I don't think it was as there were some things (like
Bill's daliances) that Gore wanted to distance himself from.

I don't believe they've had too many, either.

I do agree that some things are probably being blamed on her that she had
nothing to do with (like claims that she has made decisions to get us involved
with Ukraine), but I also believe she/her supporters are taking/giving
credit for things that she also had little or nothing to do with.
