Rogue donors (wealthy Democratic progressives) NOT ready for Hillary.

35. I understand what it means.

If Hillary really had a clear vision of what she wanted to change in America, DU would be talking about it because she would be taking about it.

And this is part (ONLY PART) of what is wrong with the idea of a Hillary candidacy.

Hillary's potential candidacy is about Hillary.

It is not about the change that she believes very deeply, so deeply to the point she cannot stop from talking about it, that we need in America.

Elizabeth Warren doesn't stop talking about the changes she sees that America needs. Bernie Sanders is on the radio nearly every week and talking to people every chance he gets about very specific changes like changes to our federal campaign finance and wages and all the other things he talks about. Both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders speak of the changes we need with deep conviction, eloquence, humility and you can feel their emotions and their spirits are intent on accomplishing the changes they see we need.

Not so with Hillary. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are driven by their desires to boost the middle class. They are bursting with enthusiasm for the task.

Hillary --- what is she going to do? Change student loan law? Unsign the Telecommunications Bill that her husband signed? Reinstate welfare for those hard times when we have high unemployment? She talks vaguely about welfare reform, but what would she do about it? Would she reinstate food stamp money? Would she put Wall Street magnates in jail if their companies violate the law? Would she lower interest on student loans? Campaign for more money for higher education? Try to find ways to cut the cost of federal law enforcement and prisons?

What does Hillary stand for? And does she really believe in changing America? What causes will she fight for? Does she really care at all? So far in my view she does not begin to measure up in terms of dedication and depth to the likes of Elizabeth Warren who spent years doing careful research into the economic challenges to the middle class or to the likes of Bernie Sanders who attracts many conservative voters with his common sense determination and dedication to helping middle class Americans.

I see Hillary as a candidate with a head start because of name recognition but also a big problem because of NAFTA and the Telecommunications Act and a number of other bills and programs and of course personal problems, all baggage from Bill Clinton's presidency.

I do not think Hillary would make nearly as good a candidate as either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Hillary is past her political prime. They are all about the same age, but Hillary cannot muster the enthusiasm and cannot communicate the courage and faith that Elizabeth Warren and/or Bernie Sanders do.
