Hillary did Bipartisanship back before Obama did. For me, the silver lining of her presidency will be this: she will lurch far right, throw many of her people under the BUS, and those not under the bus will twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain why she just HAD to lurch right. Right after she lets Keystone XL get built, the reality might sink in. I sure as hell do not expect her to keep us out of war, or to defend my social security, as her friends Erskine Bowles and Lady Rothschild both want it for themselves.
