In reply to the discussion: The inevitable Hillary will lead to President Rand Paul. [View all]busterbrown
(8,515 posts)However.. There is a chance with your reasoning that all 3 branches of Govt. could end up being controlled by Right Wing ultra Conservatives.... Which simply scares the hell out of me...
I would love Bernie, Elizabeth, or even Sherrod Brown...However these 3 would be branded by Fox and the Koch brothers as Marxists Extremists..and the country as a whole is just not enlightened enough to call that sort of bullshit out..
Meanwhile.. Rand Paul will be called out on the things I mentioned in my reply... His hands off policy for Big Banks and Wall Street.. His distaste for the Consumer Protection Agencies, his huge part in the war against woman... (Reproductive Rights) ...His Racist Fathers News Letter,( When they go after Bill) and former staff members.. He recently has turned his thumbs down on The Dreamers, when confronted at a Diner, he got up and ran away.. His huge Plagiarism issue..etc..
Hes not a bright man and will inevitably screw up, when confronted with all these issues..
Our problem is that as it stands now she is our only hope of preventing a Plutocratic trifecta is Hillary... I do believe that Hillary understands that she is not seen as progressive enough in all the areas you mentioned, however she probably feels that she needs to be perceived as a Centrists in order to get any kind of funding which will match Koch and Associates.
If elected I feel she will lead from the Center Left..
