Related: About this forumI see Hilteam is busy recasting her as yes-we-can liberal as she leaves the south
It started with the SC speech and the shapeshifting will continue until Bernie looks like Scrooge.

(45,251 posts)She also said she's a moderate. And a progressive. She's all things to all people. If she did not exist, we'd have to invent her.
But the one thing she has never claimed to be, AFAIK, is liberal. Not even a traditional, or New Deal, Democrat. They've re-named themselves New Democrats so signal that they are not New Deal or Great Society/War on Poverty Democrats. I take her at her word.

(45,251 posts)She and Bubba did fine in 2008 without Brock, tyvm.
Bubba's The Natural when it comes to politics, a Rhodes scholar--and a good ole boy born in 1946 and raised in a small town in Arkansas, mentored by Senator Fulbright since he was a young high schooler. I doubt Brock can teach him much.

(1,508 posts)She has suddenly gone from I to we in one fell swoop...what an underhanded politician, how desperate must a person like this be to gain power? It can't be for the money, she has Goldman Sachs for that...oh wait, maybe that's the problem. She needs this job to pay her debt to Goldman Sachs and others...without it, she and bill just might be in serious trouble.
