(57,936 posts)schools, constant testing in schools, excessive privatization, making sure that big corporations pay a fair share of taxes, taxing large inheritances and certain money that escapes taxation under capital gains tax rules, breaking up too big to fail banks, reducing to the bank rate the interest former and current students are charged on their student loans and many other progressive issues including those on which Clinton is strong: women's rights.
I would also like to see universal kindergarten in the US.
Apparently in a recent speech, Clinton said she would defend the good provisions in the ACA, Obamacare. I want to know which parts of Obamacare she would not defend.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. It is too soon to be as enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton as many DUers are. She is going to face a lot of difficulty before the primaries are over. Please do not assume that she is the only Democrat who can win in November 2016. I've lived through a lot of elections. Don't make assumptions.
That is what I am saying. We should be looking at all of the candidates. Let them all speak. Listen to them all. A lot of water will flow under the bridge before April, much less November 2016.
A lot of DUers are talking like thinking about other possible candidates is some horrible betrayal of the Democratic Party and as though Hillary is the only hope for 2016. Not true. Just not true.
