(13,951 posts)Let's say, we know, with a certainity that rivals 2 plus 2 is 4, that Hillary will win the nomination. OK, what people ignore is that the early par tof the cmapiagn, the primary, is where the candidiates have to appeal to everyone, including those in their party that have misgivings about them, especially those. It is not the idea of Hillary being the lone person that scares me, it is the idea that she would know she can ingore the left and go striaght to the megabuck right wing donors that want her to lean their way, especially when it comes to cutting what THEY call enititlements, and their pro Bibi war policy. As is, Hillary does not have to talk to anyone on the left, which means she will lean right. How can we belive that a person who, along with her huisband, dragged the democratic party acorss so many lines in the sand, so many things we promised never ever to do (like kill Glass Steagall and the fairness doctrine) will even preend to giovern from the left once in office.
Yes, she is good on women's RIGHTS, but when women have to work two jobs and cannot afford medical care, those are still women's issues. If you cut the social security that is the only thing keeping an old woman from mixing cat food into her diet, you still ignore women's issues.
