Vote for her our else the left gets it...
I've read his fascinating work on why Bernie is more electable. It hooked me and so I visit his page every now again to see if he has posted something new and i was pleased to see this today. It makes me think that I'm not so wrong in thinking that Trump is not the bogeyman Clinton and her supporters would have us believe. That he is playing to his crowd and laughing at them but doesn't really believe what he says. It covers a lot of the same themes of his earlier writings but expands and elaborates. It is a longish article but worth the read.

Of course, Bernie would wipe the floor with him.

(3,017 posts)After the Republican Convention, he says Obamacare is awful and we've got to get rid of it. But we can't go back to 40 million uninsured and preexisting conditions. If elected President I am going to push for universal healthcare. I believe we can cover everybody for what this country spends now on healthcare.
And then he says Bernie Sanders was right, we've got to get the big money out of politics. The Clintons have taken money from everybody in exchange for political favors. I should know, I've contributed to them and they have done favors for me. I am going to push for campaign finance reform as President.
Finally, he says we are done with these disastrous trade bills. The TPP is dead when I become President and we're going to tear up or renegotiate the past trade deals.
Trump would not alienate his base with any of these positions. They don't really care what his positions are as long as he sneers at the establishment, acts like a bully and throws around a little bigotry.
So how would Hillary run against Trump if he is hitting her from both the left and the right? Can you imagine a Democratic nominee trying to tell a Republican nominee that we can't afford universal healthcare?

(172 posts)You have it. Trump calls himself a republican but he has no loyalty to the party and they in turn are treating him terribly. Just like another party is treating its outsider candidate. Two sides of the same neo-liberal coin I think. He can hit here from the left or right as she claws to stay in the middle. God it's such a loser.
