Hillary is an opportunist and a small c conservative at heart That is a fact
But if Bernie wins the nomination, which is highly unlikely, the Trump line would be Bernie the Communist 24/7 Not true but red meat to the Tea Partiers and racist base. They would use it to bring out the RW vote to historic highs and it would work.
Sounds defeatist but I think pushing Hillary to the left and getting Liz Warren into cabinet if the Dems don't get a senate majority is the best plan
To clarify my wife is a hard left ex union president and I am no stranger to Marxism and new Left political history So both my wife and I are suspicious of Hillary's right-wing preferences when she's in power
Her record of pushing for Assad's overthrow is entirely too adamant without reason and has contributed to the near destruction of Syria
In addition to that everyone I have talked to who is interested in American politics is in favour of Bernie Sanders Maybe the Trudeau effect, I don't know but the self serving heavy hand of conservative is dead for a generation up here
Still the best plan is beat Trump, win the senate and get the lower and supreme courts back in balance The American left will be in dire straights if the SC vacancies left by Scalia, Ginsberg and Kennedy are filled by hard line conservatives
