In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee [View all]zentrum
(9,869 posts)54. Right. It's ...
.not at the level of a "position" for her. (HRC has no real positions, on anything.) What's happened though, is that she's had to go on the record as more liberal. She and her establishment supporters are being forced to talk about things they would never have mentioned. This means that in the general and in the WH she'll have to be a little less gung-ho for neo-con proposals. I guess Bill will go out a "s'plain" them as usual, though.
It will be more of a bald-faced hypocrisy of she goes to bat for the TTP for example. Or for tracking. I have no doubt she'd be campaigning for these things (as she did as SOS) if it wasn't for Bernie and his annoying base.
You're lucky you have write-in in your State.

They're talking about Bernie stealing the nomination here, with back room deals.

I think the Clinton campaign is the grand illusion, but maybe that's just me
