She'd be more than willing to reach across the aisle and work with the party that stole the 2000 & 2004 Presidential elections. Why can't we all just get along?

Like offer to disband the Department of education in exchange for temporarily suspending an obscure tax loophole. She would then call it 'being tough on Wall Street!

Pragmatism!

One of the dumbest things I've seen this primary season (and there's been a lot of competition) is Bernie supporters mocking Hillary's attitude as "No We Can't", as though that's a bad thing.

We need to accept that the Republicans will almost certainly control congress and therefore severely limit what the next president can accomplish even if they're a Democrat, and manage our expectations accordingly.

Wishful thinking is a vice, not a virtue.
