(20,176 posts)She's a Republican. I expect her to govern and run as a Republican once she finds a way to escape pressure from the left.

(11,197 posts)If you're expecting support for true Progressive legislation you'll be sorely disappointed. What and who the DLC/Establishment Dems support should certainly be no secret to anyone now. Tidbits of social progressiveness when it's politically convenient and of no real consequence, accompanied by hard-core pro-corporate fiscal conservatism when it comes to all else. It's always the same, and campaign rhetoric to these conservative Dems is just that, campaign rhetoric.

(2,262 posts)It depends on how many voters vote against their own interests like Republicans do. If she doesn't, it will be a colossal failure on her team's part since every major media corporation, except Fox News, is bowing down to her. Their patronizing is just nauseating.

(850 posts)She's against TPP, Keystone ect.. Yet she is going to continue the legacy of Obama?
She will flip on all of them. Her stating these positions is nothing but political calculation.

(11,417 posts)Hillary will win the nomination by Feb 2, 2016 and will win the Presidency in Nov 2016. It is going to be a very good year for her.
In January 2017 she will be inaugurated as the first woman President of the U.S. She will have won back the Senate because of her win and we will begin to build on Obama's accomplishments.
Now if you want to keep making up shit about her go ahead do what ever floats your boat but it won't change the outcome of this primary or the general.
It is beginning to look a little juvenile with all the anti Hillary crap on this board but I take it as incoherent rhetoric that children would make up.

(23,671 posts)She would have more room to flip/flop back towards her traditional right of center positions if its anyone but Trump because the rest of the GOP field is so conservative.
On the other hand Trump will likely move to be more moderate in a GE, leaving Hillary less options to draw independents than a real liberal would have.
