Hillary Clinton needs to listen to Bernie Sanders' ideas and concepts

[UCmeNdc]

Bernie Sanders represents an important part of the Democratic party. Hillary needs his support. Really Bernie has a lot of power to influence. Hillary needs to listen and guarantee she will act on his ideas.

1. Don't assume that she will be the nominee. A lot can happen between now and the

convention. Also, don't assume that she can win in November. A lot of Bernie supporters will never vote for her. That's just a fact. It is especially true of a lot of young Bernie supporters.

2. Agreed. The whole Democratic Party should listen and take heed. To be honest, Hillary has already

listened, and adapted her positions to be just slightly more moderate than his. That has kept her competitive.

If she wins, and that still is an if till it is done, probably till the convention, she would do well to follow the lead he has shown - the appetite of the American public is NOT what it was in the beginning days of the Clinton national political philosophy. We are not fighting Reagan or the Reagan Revolution or Reagonomics. That is all old news, and the Clintonian methods of triangulation, appeasement, compromise only served us so well all these years since Reagan. And they don't serve us now at all, because we are facing Trump, and entirely different animal. You cannot beat him with the same old anti-Reagan shit. It simply isn't going to work.

So, keep latching onto the NEW NEW DEAL that Bernie is proposing, because it is where the action is at. Trump even borrows from it occasionally, and you never know what he is going to pull out of a hat. He will convince some that he is more pro-union and anti-trade deals than Hillary, and that will peel off some traditionally Democratic support, if we are not careful.

Not with Bernie, though, which is part of why many of us think he is the stronger candidate, for this year, for now, for this time and place.

But Hillary, if she were to be reborn somehow as the devout Progressive she sometimes pretends to be or her supporters claim she is, I do believe she could become not only the first woman President, but a female FDR. That would really be something to see. You know, you wouldn't have thought that the Roosevelts would have been defenders of the people either, you know, after all the money and privilege they came from. People can surprise you, and I'm willing to be surprised.

I'm also willing to fight like Hell if the Democratic Party somehow does not get the message.

3. The fact is they are together in many areas, right now Sanders moved to Hillary's

Position on SS reform, there are other areas. No She is for universal health care and not Medicare for All, we know what universal health care means.

4. Put Sanders on the ticket

That way he will always have input.
