2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The political immaturity of remarks like "Hillary is a Republican" [View all]HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)On foreign policy identical.
On economic policy nearly identical...Goldman/Sachs CEO happy with either. Hillary says $12/hr ( if she means it), Jeb says no. Agree on trade agreements, agree on fracking.
On social issues, mixed. They differ on abortion. Since 2013 they differ on SSM. Agree on marijuana. Agree on private prisons. Agree on education. Overall more agreement than disagreement.
In short, although Jeb Bush is unquestionably more conservative than Hillary Clinton, there's not a vast gulf between them. She's just to the left. If Bush is a strong conservative, she's a moderate conservative. What they label themselves is just window-dressing...after all, the Democratic Republic of Korea is neither democratic or a republic, it's a communist dictatorship.
