(62,325 posts)Makes promises during her campaign to:
1)To Protect SS from marauding Right Wing lunatics and she ends up proposing 'cuts' to a program that does not belong to the Federal Govt she will be ripped apart by the 'Professional Left' .
2) If she appoints REPUBLICANS to her Cabinet or Monsanto or Booz Allen CEOS to positions of power, she will be ripped apart by the Professional Left.
3) If she forgets who elected her, and her top spokespersons begin bashing the Profession Left, she will be ripped apart by them.
4) If she even considers any of the architects of the deregulation of Wall St that led to the Crash, for any position in Economics, she can expect to be fiercely criticized by the 'Professional Left'.
5) If she calls backing away from her stated commitment to implement Progressive Democratic Policies 'bi-partisanship', then she clearly doesn't understand that the WINNER gets to set the terms, lead the party towards winning more in the deal than the losers, then she will receive the criticism she would richly deserve.
etc. etc ...
Otoh, if she FIGHTS and doesn't make excuses for what she was elected to do, avoids attacking those who elected her, doesn't boast about how 'angry she has made her supporters' etc etc, even if she fails, she will have the full support of the 'Professional Left'.
And one more thing, if she avoids the derogatory term used by the far right to attack Democrats with, 'The Professional Left', she will be on the right path.
I doubt she will sink to that level, she is far too intelligent a woman for that kind of grade school level garbage.
Signed, considering the source of that infantile terminology,
Sabrina, proud member of the Professional Left ...
