Progressives and look to be positioned to bring real change not only to our party, but to how we think about our economy, finances, and now infrastructure and jobs. They are both laser focused and powerful influences nationally to work for we, the people.
As we all know, Hillary, like any politician, can be "influenced" with appropriate action and information. Sanders and Warren are getting more and more press with their passion and intelligence and influence, and I think Hillary wants to see how it all fleshes out to determine where to position herself...how the people are responding. If she sees the flock and the political support moving toward the Left you can bet she's headed that way too.
What a ride to 2016!!

Our election system that has encumbants winning like 80 - 90% makes change hard.
