2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Seeks NEO-CON Shelter (against the Sanders storm) [View all]Fumesucker
(45,851 posts)2. Neocons have an actual governing philsophy foul as it might be
Hillary has no real philosophy beyond what brings her closer to her lifelong dream of being the first woman President, one moment she's proudly progressive the next she pleads guilty to being moderate and center.
