And then there's the whole FIRST LOOK mess. He said he left because of creative differences. They said he harassed a female staffer. I think he doesn't work or play well with others, and he looks for the contrarian POV, even at the sacrifice of accuracy.

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Mrs. Clinton angered some of her Wall Street donors when she came out early in support of the regulation of derivatives and other complicated financial products and called for eliminating the “carried interest” loophole that allowed some financiers to avoid paying millions in income taxes. She also said that as president, she would create a cabinet-level position to fight poverty.

Well, well... look what I found while researching something else.

Those don't want to continue Turd Way corporate rule (plus abortion rights) will laugh most of it off. On the upside when she actually enacts Reaganesque governance beginning in 2017, it will not be a crushing disappointment like in 2009 - everyone will know it's coming.
