Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has said repeatedly that she won't run for president in 2016, and yet the idea persists: That Hillary Clinton could find herself vulnerable to a more liberal primary opponent.
The problem? Almost all of the most recent data suggests that Clinton doesn't have any real problems on her left flank. Indeed, she's actually stronger with liberals than she is with more moderate Democrats. And very, very few liberals have anything but nice things to say about her.
-snip-
A Washington Post/ABC News pollthis month showed Clinton taking a bigger share of the vote in the 2016 primary among self-described liberals (72 percent) than among moderate and conservative Democrats (60 percent).

The WaPo-ABC poll also shows liberal Democrats approve of Clinton's tenure at the State Department by a margin of 96-1, while moderate Democrats approve of it 84-12. Sixty-seven percent of liberals strongly approve of Clinton's performance, nearly 9 in 10 say she is a strong leader, and only slightly fewer say she's honest and trustworthy

Do Banks = Wall Street?
also-
"aint" (normally spelled ( ain't) ) "ain't" a word

(55,981 posts)Supporting Wall Street is championing legislation that deregulates Wall Street (meaning Banks, Investment Banks, Goldman-Sachs-O-Gold, etc.). Tightening bankruptcy laws on The People while loosening bankruptcy laws on corporations. I would say that H. Clinton-Sachs supports Wall Street and Banksters over The People. They (Wall Streeters) give her $200,000 for stopping by for tea.
I would challenge your idea that aint aint a word.
