and I think she would be an extremely strong candidate for the nomination and to be elected."

nominate her?

who is someone we don't know yet. But we must trust Hillary to pick the justice we voted for. Get it?

Curious, though, who he's calling 'Republican-lite.'

If HRC runs against Jeb the Oligarchs will be in seventh heaven.

The Audacity of Hope was one of the better DLC policy books I've read.

*Make EFCA the "law of the Land"

*Immediately re-negotiate NAFTA protecting American Jobs

*Put on comfortable shoes and walk the line wherever Unions were not allowed

*Label GMOs and Country of Origin on our food

*Raise the CAP on Social Security

The DLC doesn't do ANY of THAT shit.
Sad that Ptresident Obama forgot about all those promises.

As was his Senate voting record.

Welfare reform? Check.
Privatized Social Security companion accounts? Check

"The conservative revolution Reagan helped usher in gained traction because Reagan's central insight--that the liberal welfare state had grown complacent and overly bureaucratic, with Democratic policy makers more obsessed with slicing the economic pie than with growing he pie--contained a good deal of truth."

... believes in welfare reform.
... believes in the free market.
... believes in private investment accounts to compliment social security.
... believes the Democratic party must make a turn to the right away from the post 1960s social upheavals.
... believes in finding 'third ways' in classic conservative-liberal conflicts.
... believes in public education reforms, including merit pay for teachers.
... believes in public service.
... believes in a strong military.

....but that is an easy mistake for those who weren't paying attention.

Audacity of Hope

I can write a book making me look like an American Hero.
Doesn't make it true.

Do you think he was lying in his book?

Do you think he was pretending to be something he wasn't in the book? Or was he pretending to be something he wasn't in the election?

You never disappoint, bvar22. Trying to discount The Audacity of Hope because it destroys your argument. CLASSIC!

and less "hope".
His first years, he was Play dough for the Republicans, Wall Street, and Major Corporations.

eom

and stands on HRC or nothing. It's up to the Democratic Wing to oust them and fight for a progressive.

CT is a notoriously hard state to get Democratic governors elected in, though I don't know why. We can elect the President by 60%, but the Governor by only 51%. I'm happy to have him, but he didn't seem to get the base out like the President did.

Don't like him at all.

He had a good machine around him and got out the people needed to win, but I don't think he's relatable at all. Seems like a tool.

But he seemed otherwise fine when I met him. He is 1000% better than the Monopoly Man he was running against.

Foley is much, much worse.

I am surprised they nominated him again.

...to hold their noses and vote for the Lesser of Two Evils.

Which disputes the op's title.

Malloy: We have to run to the left or we lose.

Sanders: We have to end oligarchy. We have to restore democracy. People are suffering. This is supposed to be a nation of, by, and for the people.

Bernie isn't trying to play politics, he's trying to make this country a better place.

It's like when Democrats lose they blame "messaging." It's all kabuki which apparently lots of "Democrats" eat up with a spoon.

“Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time”.

The man being, of course, Harry S Truman.
