18. The OP, I think, has a legitimate worry.

Oct 2015

Hillary has won big points by defending herself against idiot Republicans. Fine. She's a lawyer and she kicked their collective ass. But she was defending herself, not standing against TPP, or Wall Street deregulation, or Citizens United, or fracking, or more wars. So if she rides the wave of this performance to the nomination, will it carry over to the general election? My gut says no (although it's been wrong before). And if she actually does win the general election, will she show this same kind of grit and determination to defend and push for issues that are near and dear to the hearts of us Bernie supporters? Once again, my gut says no. And I gather from the OP that the writer also feels that way.
