2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Public’s Disgust With the Democratic Party Propels Sanders [View all]Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)130. Hillary is going to reshape the Supreme Court and fill the backlog of Federal Judge positions
that the Republicans have denied the President. Hillary, through Elizabeth Warren, will pursue a much more attainable goal in significantly reducing the financing costs of college education. She will build onto the ACA to improve that legislation. She will work with Republicans to stabilize the current Social Security system.
Sanders and his free college, Medicare for all and expanded Social Security are the stuff of pure fantasy. Hillary has a track record in the Senate of working with Republicans. Sanders is a Socialist extremist who has no record of working with Republicans.
