Domestic affairs I am not sure which Repugs would vote with her policies but they will have to negotiate like all presidents.

It suddenly dawned a big downside of a fake Democrat is Bernie would not have interest in electing Democrats. I admit I had not thought of this before.

For all his fiery rhetoric, Sanders isn't known in the Senate as a legislative wonk who passes a large volume liberal legislation. The lack of clarity around his bill to break up the banks is likely why it has not yet attracted any cosponsors in the Senate.

That's accurate as of Sept 17. Hillary is much more likely to be able to get things done.

It is to me the single best point to use on Bernie's gang. That is if they actually listened.
