47. Sorry, HRC is NO Progressive, and she never was. Neither was her husband.
Progressive is a subset of liberal. All progressives are liberal, not all liberals are progressive.

I don't really consider them very liberal, either. Clinton policies are historically conservative both socially and fiscally. Certainly not rightwing conservative, but conservative all the same.

Don't forget, that as an adult, HRC was a Goldwater Republican and President of the Young Republicans.

I think that kind of conservatism is still in her blood.

And by the way, Progressives don't swagger around threatening to "obliterate" entire countries, vote to invade the powerless ones, equivocate on torture, or give the okay to using cluster bombs against civilian populations.

Sorry, but to claim HRC as a "technical Progressive" is more than laughable.
