The Rising Tide of Populism in the Dem Party Spells Trouble for Hillary

40. Isn't Just Her

It's Bill too--corporations have been filling their coffers for a long, long time.

I'm not sure if she could do enough to gain the populist side, without totally alienating the corporations, which of course as always, includes the media. Need proof? Just see Dean coverage after he declared the media be "broken up into hundreds of pieces." It wasn't the "scream," but coverage that began after he made that statement that killed him.

Navigation is much harder for the Democrat, as he has to avoid many third rails. You can't be anti-free-trade, you can't suggest paring down the war machine, and now you can't bother being anti-surveillance, as that is all just a part of it. You can't do many of the things that thoughtful, actual liberals in the democratic party want.

Best chance? Play the game, get elected, then actually be a decent human being, and appoint radically liberal SC nominees, and hopefully they'll at least strike down Citizen's, and maybe a few other Fascist rulings of late, that Republican legislatures are immediately seizing on, to prove they should not have been taken down (Civil Rights).
