hmm, that's hard to say Douglas Carpenter Nov 2014 #3

I was just going to look for that. Thanks for posting it, douglas! cali Nov 2014 #7

Do you have anything stronger? Man from Pickens Nov 2014 #4

certainly not. she's made that crystal clear. those who believe that she will cali Nov 2014 #5

Hillary will be whatever you want her to be... kentuck Nov 2014 #6

That's totally unfair. Jackpine Radical Nov 2014 #65

She's likely to be what she wants to be. merrily Nov 2014 #74

She will not be what the people want her to be, we already have ample proof of that. sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #77

I definitely think Hillary will reign in Wall Street Fumesucker Nov 2014 #8

Oops - thanks for the heads up. nt el_bryanto Nov 2014 #10

Actually, it was a kind of cool mistake. HappyMe Nov 2014 #15

and claim it is rain when they piss on our backs some more? ChairmanAgnostic Nov 2014 #45

lol! HappyMe Nov 2014 #48

More and more, that seems to be the norm. ChairmanAgnostic Nov 2014 #91

I saw what you did there. merrily Nov 2014 #75

Not a chance. I expect her administration would be sprinkled with investment bankers Marr Nov 2014 #9

Exactly, on all counts. polichick Nov 2014 #92

Yes I think she will do the right thing in the end. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #11

Wall Street sure as hell doesn't. and nothing in her past would indicate that in the tiniest way. cali Nov 2014 #14

If she does not do the right thing than the voters will speak. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #16

specific to the op question and her relationship with Wall Street, why do you trust her? cali Nov 2014 #18

I think in her heart she dislikes the banks and big ceo's just like we do. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #20

She was on Walmart's Board TBF Nov 2014 #27

What years? hrmjustin Nov 2014 #28

Here's what I found (w/sources): TBF Nov 2014 #33

Thanks for the links. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #36

In one of her well paid speeches, paid by Goldman Sachs she LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #35

She also just said businesses don't create jobs. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #38

and almost immediately retracted it. cali Nov 2014 #41

I am sure she said things she wished to retract. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #51

but she creates her own jobs with those speeches... LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #50

A primary will sort all this out. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #53

Yes it will, and I am looking forward to it and the more the merrier. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #56

Hey, they pay to listen to her, who else do you know gets to do the same? Thinkingabout Nov 2014 #80

Maybe they don't pay to listen to her, but for what she can and did for them? LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #81

The thing is TBF Nov 2014 #37

I hope a primary pushes her to the left. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #39

It couldn't hurt. nt TBF Nov 2014 #40

Even if a primary pushes her to the left LondonReign2 Nov 2014 #58

I don't agree but we shall see. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #59

I agree. HappyMe Nov 2014 #61

Thats what Obama did. bvar22 Nov 2014 #83

Why would she move to the Left when she knows everyone will vote for her Maedhros Nov 2014 #69

I disagree and believe she will do just fine. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #70

I think the notion that Hillary will "move Left" is farcical. Maedhros Nov 2014 #72

Well we disagree. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #73

I'm pretty sure that's a great big fucking NO. Not only NO, but Hell fucking NO Autumn Nov 2014 #12

Laws are passed by Congress not by the President leftofcool Nov 2014 #17

Well I'm just positive that a President has absolutely no influence at all on those things Autumn Nov 2014 #19

What about the Sherman Anti-trust laws and breaking up Wall Street. Will she do that? aspirant Nov 2014 #22

The laws are enforced by the Executive Branch el_bryanto Nov 2014 #24

No. But she may give them a disapproving look. A long shot, I admit. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2014 #13

I was thinking of maybe a "Strongly-Worded Letter." nt Buns_of_Fire Nov 2014 #32

Nothing about her past actions would make me think that Marrah_G Nov 2014 #21

Ha! I wish she'd be the same type of Pres as Obama, I would support her fully then LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #43

Lolololololol!!! tularetom Nov 2014 #23

Perfect response. Autumn Nov 2014 #30

Big Clinton fan here and I answered not likely but. NCTraveler Nov 2014 #25

Not a fucking chance... vi5 Nov 2014 #29

It's obvious! GET ANOTHER CANDIDATE!!! FAST!!! TheNutcracker Nov 2014 #31

I have a very good inside tip from a dear friend of mine. Hillary is polling at 64% !!! 64 % Autumn Nov 2014 #42

Well, that's it then! HappyMe Nov 2014 #60

Don't think she will. bigwillq Nov 2014 #34

No. She won't. tenderfoot Nov 2014 #44

Define "properly". badtoworse Nov 2014 #46

"Properly" is an ambigioius term used so that no matter what happens ... JoePhilly Nov 2014 #52

So for the poll to to be honest I'd have to list out a specific set of prescriptions el_bryanto Nov 2014 #66

Define "properly" is a fair question. "Properly" can mean many things to many different people. badtoworse Nov 2014 #67

At least a couple ... otherwise people can use their own definitions. JoePhilly Nov 2014 #68

But by the same notion those who think that HRC will regulate Wall Street effectively el_bryanto Nov 2014 #76

No. Iggo Nov 2014 #49

Is there any evidence you would do so? yurbud Nov 2014 #54

Where is the no fucking way option? JEB Nov 2014 #55

More so than any potential Republican nominee. LanternWaste Nov 2014 #57

I don't believe that for a second. and neither does Wall Street. They love hilly. cali Nov 2014 #62

I will most certainly allow your disbelief all the credibility it warrants. LanternWaste Nov 2014 #63

Helluva bar you set there LondonReign2 Nov 2014 #64

Not just "No" but HELL NO.. Are you kidding? Haven't you been paying attention at all?!!!! 2banon Nov 2014 #71

Where is "Defer to Goldman on what to do" nt One_Life_To_Give Nov 2014 #79

Nope. But Bernie would. KamaAina Nov 2014 #84

HRC is a very savvy politician. iandhr Nov 2014 #85

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Le Taz Hot Nov 2014 #86

I doubt any president could really rein in Wall Street. TexasProgresive Nov 2014 #87

You ARE kidding, right? hifiguy Nov 2014 #88

I voted I'm sure of it because I like being a contrarian. LordGlenconner Nov 2014 #89

She will not and neither will a republican. oldandhappy Nov 2014 #90

I trust Clinton to follow rather than lead. Orsino Nov 2014 #93
