How would someone who, as SOS got into another war with Libya, who pushed for one with Syria, who threatened to "OBLITERATE Iran" suddenly change into a progressive peacenik with a different Mid eats policy?
and we both know her program was not "socialized medicine", Obama's first mistake was imitating the individual mandate, that he campaigned against!
It sounds like you want Hillary to be something other than what she has shown herself to be. Admittedly, some Obama voters have that same issue. We both know we NEED a liberal, someone who is to the left of Bill Clinton, because the bleeding was been so bad. But the truth is, neither Obama nor Hillary are or were liberals in the FDR sense. Both of them are Euro style technocrats who think politics is a chess game, when, post Citizens united, it is a street fight. When Billionaires can shovel money to people that would not even be elected dogcatcher, there is no reason for the new GOP to listen, or even try to be competent. Neither Hillary nor Obama will know how to deal with the normalization of insanity. The only reason Bill made it is because, after being caught lying, he turned to the very same leftist he tried to sell down the river. If that did not happen, this book explains how, long before Obama, he was ready and willing to destroy Social Security.

Like I said, if, AFTER THE PRIMARY, Hillary is left standing, I will vote for her. Frankly, if Lucifer was the one the primaries picked, I would vote for Lucifer, simply because I have already seen what the GOP machine can do with a "compassionate conservative."At least with Lucifer, you can look and see where the corruption comes from, as opposed to a bunch of Billionaire's back rooms that might not even be in the United States. That does not mean that, in 2013, some of us might say "enough with the coronation ceremony!"
