LEFT Presses Clinton To CHOOSE SIDES On Obama Trade Pact

[Sancho]

36. Yep....Please read what I said.

If you ask the independents and repubs in purple states, they see Hillary as solid liberal left. They are correct to view her that way.

In fact, if you look at the voting record she was almost identical to Obama and more liberal than Edwards:

Factually, Hillary's record is solid liberal as a standing Senator. You can pick an issue that you disagreed with, but overall she is by no means a "centrist".

Actually, most of my independent friends and neighbors seem to have a more objective view of Hillary and her record than many on DU. She appropriately represented NY (home to Wall Street), is a sharp politician, and has a lot of international viewpoints, but in general she supports progressive causes and voted that way.

If you represent a farm state, you should advocate for agriculture. If you are from Florida, you likely support tourism. If you represent Wall Street, it's hard to go on the attack against your own constituents specifically. Sorry, but that's the way it works.
