(62,325 posts)which her handlers should realize, since those days. They should listen to what the voters said, loud and clear, in two mid terms eg, instead of BLAMING the voters, claiming they wanted them to 'move more to the Right'???
But there is no indication that they will listen to the voters. Their strategy appears to be 'how can we fool THEM without upsetting our real bosses'.
Bernie, eg, doesn't appear to need political operatives, and polls telling him what to say, before he says what he says.
I hope she decides not to run, for everyone's sake.
It's time to end the status quo, way past time. We need new and fresh ideas to drag this country back from the old ones that have failed the PEOPLE so miserably.
And there are plenty of good progressive people in this country, who can do that.
Sherrod Brown comes to mind, along with Bernie and Warren. And several others.
Let the party stop agonizing over how to present old ideas as if they were not so old and failed. That has to be very taxing, no pun intended.
It would be so much easier to back a candidate who is the real thing and doesn't need all the 'makeup' to cover the flaws.
