This post is more of a way to shoehorn Clinton into being a progressive more than anything else. I am sorry, there is not one 'true' progressive that would agree with your post.

Political ideals are not meant to be based on 'doability' --they are bases on ultimate goals and deeply held beliefs. If you think otherwise, maybe you should reexamine your own.
