Please don't trivialize this.
Come to think of it, what the heck would a Hillary platform be? What would she run on? Third Way stuff, said out loud on TV isn't gonna win votes. The TPP? Don't think that is a good thing either.
Then, there is the well, she said it, but she had to say it because Hey! Winning!
As a woman, I don't care diddly squat about her gender, and Big Dog is charming and all that, but he is a fellow Third Way corporatist.

I do promise to drop out of DU if I cannot force myself to vote for Republican Lite, though. Because if Third Way is Democratic, then I guess I am not. Looks like, perhaps, the next big party shake up - or shake out - will be in the Democratic party, and that is the fault of the Third Way.

Where did Hillary say she is not running. hrmjustin Dec 2013 #7

E.g., MannyGoldstein Dec 2013 #30

That's a SoS quote. She said she'd decide in 2014. joshcryer Dec 2013 #54

In addition, Warren is younger than Hillary, but is too old to run. djean111 Dec 2013 #8

And unlike Hillary, Warren never fought and won any tough political battles MannyGoldstein Dec 2013 #31

Bwah! djean111 Dec 2013 #33

It has been reported that Elizabeth Warren actually wants Hillary to run and approves of her. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2013 #51

What Warren does in the way of endorsements doesn't really interest me. djean111 Dec 2013 #52

I am curious about how she sees Hillary Clinton in light of Third Way and Corporatism. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2013 #53

I get your drift, but so far I have no reason to think that Hillary is anything but Third Way. djean111 Dec 2013 #57
