53. HRC could make this a lot easier on herself.

She has nothing to lose by de-hawking her foreign policy. There's really no reason to keep following the Scoop Jackson line. The country is nowhere near as far to the right on defense issues as it was in the Nineties. As a start, she could pledge that she WON'T launch a missile strike against Iran or support Israel in launching one(since we already know that no possible good can ever come from such a strike and that U.S. military intervention can never again be good for women in any country)

She could also seriously engage the issues of class and inequality...perhaps apologize for sitting on the WalMart board(since WalMart's values are the complete antithesis of everything most Democrats-including you-support).

And she could admit, publicly, that activists, labor, and the poor should be at least as important to the party(and to the political life of the country)as big donors.

HRC would lose nothing by doing any of the above.
