Yes, i know I get on here and seem harsh. However, let me tell you this, nobody, and I mean Nobody, would welcome an11th hour change in policy more than me, especially since Hillary is te one equipped to do so. If she were willing to call wall street out for it's mischief and malice, if she were willing to revisit the war policy that always ends up demandin whoever Bibi's enemies are our enemies, then I would jump for joy. But the fact is, she has the emans to say somethign different, to truly go to the FDR side of the left, the one that goes to Wall Street and says "I welcome your hatred!" . She could easily make speeches that say earler held positions were wrong, and make the point she is best equipped to change them. She will not, instead she plays silent, and simply counts on the overfed, over atteneded to rich ("aka i;m not comfrtable with calling myselfa republican, quite&quot types that NEVER show up come voting time. What is sad is that we all know that the current powers that be will NOT accpet her over a real GOP type, especially if they are clever and avouid the obvious suicidal techniques like nominating a Bush or Cruz.
