Not ready to make nice

25. short term leads to long term

Whatever progress we got , we got by making a series of little, small victories that added to a big one. Yes I know she does think long term, but part of that long term has to be establishing one thing: now GOP, you cannot keep doing an end run around the fact you LOST the White House, and because of that, you will not be able to expect getting the larger half of the loaf.

Part of the problem is the fact that Many on the "centre-right" side do not want to give the working/poor class a slice any more than the GOP does, and those are the people that expect to be the first listened to, even if, as DWS showed, their advice came very close to crashing us into the ditch! Hillary WANTS a strong Mid-Term 2018 as part of the long term strategy, and if she wants that, she will not follow the DWS/DLC recipe that has made us hemorrhage Senators, Governors, and Congresspeople. THAT, is long term.

It is one thing to trust Hillary, but not to the point where you do not make your expectations CLEAR, and not to the point where you enter the playing field expecting the other team to dominate at first. You purposefully demand more than what you can get, because that is exactly what the GOP did, and it got them enough power to hamper Obama.
