In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton’s Top Corporate Donors Are Among The Most Hated Companies in America [View all]cheapdate
(3,811 posts)She was elected twice to the U.S. Senate, and she had an unsuccessful bid to become her party's nominee in the 2008 presidential election.
Hillary's views on government and business are fairly well established. It's a "conventional" view that believes heavily in free-market capitalism, "public-private partnerships", etc., with government having a significant role in regulating some aspects of the economy and in mitigating the social fallout of market fluctuations.
If Hillary becomes the Democratic Party's nominee, I will support her with full knowledge of who she is. She is someone who doesn't share my deeply held sense of environmental ethics, or my radical ideas for transforming society in ways that honor our obligation to the living world, to ourselves, and to future generations.
But she is a decent person. She is not a Republican. She may continue most present trends on their current trajectories. Republicans will accelerate them dramatically.
