In reply to the discussion: Campaign 2016: Hillary Clinton's Fake Populism Is a Hit - Matt Taibbi/RollingStone [View all]zeemike
(18,998 posts)82. Well I don't know that either.
But if she is a team player she would not piss off Wall Street so much...because that is the team.
O'Malley and Webb don't have the name recognition right now, and as long as Hillary is running the media will focus on her and they will never get it.
Without Warren Sanders is the only one who has a chance IMO, and Hillary has a couple billion dollars so it will be hard unless he can mobilize some strong grassroots...and I think it is possible.
And if he should pull it off and select Warren as VP the GOP would shit their pants because it would mobilize a lot of people...unlike Hillary who would have problems beating Jeb.
But like you said, who knows...we are far from the bubble they live in.

Hmm... it IS sexist to regard her views as beyond criticism just because she is a woman.

Your contribution is to call someone sexist? That's all you have? Nothing substantive?

Hillary's new-found populism seems phony only cuz she's new to it. With a little practice, perhaps it will come across a bit more sincere & Elizabeth-esque.
