4. I don't think she's really anything at all.

She could be a lefty if she chose to be. She could also be a RW Republican. The Clintons don't have any core beliefs. Sure, they have a natural tendency to be RWers, but that's just a habit. The Clintons are nothing. They have no real convictions. They do what benefits them the most.

When Hillary runs, she's going to pander to the left on some issues, and she's going to pander to the right as well. She'll be all over the place. The important thing to her is winning, and she'll do or say anything to get elected.

That's how our system has evolved and that's the kind of person who best fits our system. We'll either choose to keep that system in place or we can go another direction, if we have a candidate who will do that. And then we have to worry about whether that candidate will survive.
