Why do these pundits continue

to push the idea that Sanders has moved Clinton back to the left or forced her to the left? It is bullshit.

The one guy believes the New Dems forced Hillary to the right when she was actually so much more liberal. That is bullshit. Do these guys never fact check history? The Clintons are a huge part of the founding of the DLC and the New Dem revolution. They weren't forced, they have been doing the forcing.

So with bullshit like this, no matter how much I enjoy Hartmann, I just can't take seriously the guys he is discussing stuff with.
