Clinton plans Tuesday meetings with all Hill Democrats

43. I don't think it was part of her duties as SoS. And she hasn't held an official position since.

She was in the Senate, ran against Obama on single payer quite vehemently, then was appointed SoS.

Then took a breather with her family when Kerry took over. But she has never been out of touch. Obama and Hillary embrace here, as the votes came in to pass the ACA:



She has long experience working with the people on the Hill, longer than many have been there with the Watergate, hearings where she went after Nixon to impeach him;

To when she thought that the population would rise up and demand single payer as FLOTUS, but it didn't happen;

To her term in the Senate. She did manage within a GOP majority to get SCHIP and the children of military people covered with health insurance;

She has lot of veteran support trying to get single payer for many years, which is definitely a democratic socialist position;

She even had HILLPAC fund Sander's run for Senate, as a priority. That's why he calls her his friend, she's on his side on the issues that count.

The votes have never been there for single payer, even VT was unable to get its state legislature to make use of he single payer option that is part of the ACA, on a state by state basis.

Obama did what he had the odds of passing, busy cleaning up the GOP mess, starting with the country being bankrupt in 2009. The pressure has never let up and she needs to get Congress ready to do what is needed if she is elected.

Bernie has also been thinking post-election, having said who he would put in cabinet level positions, such as Krugman and Stiglitz (sic?) to help deal with the business sector.

Nothing untoward in any of this. I'm not saying you are, nor am I lecturing, just putting this out there for everyone to think on.
