"It’s starting to look that way. When yesterday she proposed national automatic voter registration — registering all Americans to vote when they turn 18 unless they opt out — it surprised everyone. While universal registration isn’t an idea no one had thought of before, Clinton took a Democratic priority (expanding voting rights and boosting turnout) and advanced it with an ambitious, national plan that went beyond what most prominent Democrats had advocated before.

We saw something similar on immigration, where Clinton didn’t just support the Obama administration’s position on immigration but went beyond it, proposing that the parents of “DREAMers” be allowed to stay in the country legally. She also called for an end to the “era of mass incarceration,” an era her husband had no small part in creating. She has signaled an intention to go bold in the area of campaign finance, floating the idea of a Constitutional amendment to get so-called “dark money” out of politics (though she has not gone so far as to make formal proposal)."

I was talking to my son yesterday about what's been going down on this board with the misogynistic slur.. so we started talking about Hillary.. and he said..

"That automatic voting proposal is a great idea.. we should have that.." He's leaning Bernie but is looking at what all our candidates have to say.

Mahalo Justin..
