She's Teddy Roosevelt tonight -- take on all the vested interests and bust them up

Bust the trusts. Go after those corporate tax avoiders. They make her so mad.

"Sanders target is too small." Now she's more progressive than Bernie. I guess she hasn't been listening to him for 30 years.

Where the hell were you when we needed you Hillary?

When last we met Hilly, she had just gotten home from Goldman Sachs, who paid her $200,000 every few months as walking around money.

She has at least a dozen positions in every issue and she on video after video contradicting her own positions. No one else gets away with this blatant contempt for the electorate...not since Dick Cheney.

"Bernie's gonna tear up Obamacare, just shred it and we'll have nothing" again. Gimme a break. He's talking about an ultimate goal, and she knows it.

I further feel she's lifted the majority of her current pitch from Bernie. And that Bernie listens a lot better than she does.

I do think she has a conscience of a sort. But I think power is a big motivation, and that, as I see it, she rationalizes more than I would ideally prefer.

primary campaigns involving Hillary Clinton, I find myself thinking about Tammy Wynette and the remark Hillary made on 60 Minutes about not being a 'Stand By Your Man' woman. And the flack she deservedly took for it, clumsy and class-toxic as it was.

http://www.npr.org/2000/10/28/1113153/tammy-wynettes-stand-by-your-man

Then came the presidential election of 1992. During an interview on "60 Minutes" about her husband's alleged affair with Gennifer Flowers, Hillary Clinton proclaimed she wasn't `some little woman standing by her man like Tammy Wynette.' Watching it from her bedroom in Nashville, Wynette exploded.

"I came up out of the bed. I said, `It didn't make me so mad about the song right then, it made me made 'cause she said "some little old woman."'"



Sorry to veer off topic. But it just came to mind.

Except that, given her objection to simple quotes about whether she's moderate or progressive, I don't buy it.

45. By her definition, progressives can't get things done. Too liberal.

Feb 2016

That's why she's a pragmatic moderate.

So she can't be a "progressive who gets things done," because according to her such a thing doesn't exist. I think she's just found a way to squeeze the word "progressive" into her definition of "moderate," and is hoping people will associate the term with her.
