What CBC (Canada's national news) is reporting on Hillary vs. Sanders

I don't know if this url will work in the US, but this is pretty interesting. Especially found the Obama strategic papers for the 2008 campaign on Hillary interesting in light of her "I'm not a politician" claim.

Obama stragic papers had it right. She's driven by politics, not convictions!

I'm watching it now--thank you!

On a totally irrelevant note, and I mean this even though I very much prefer Bernie--that just-short-of-cobalt blue she wore (in her jacket) during the interview with Anderson Cooper is very flattering to her. Much better than that sort of sackcloth beige she wore in one debate. (The almost-cobalt blue was during the interview, or town hall I guess, in which she said "That's what they offered." You know? I thought that was a perfectly good answer. I wouldn't have turned it down. That's not to say her Wall Street connections are benign, but yeah, I'd take that kind of coin to give a speech, and be damn happy about it.)

Anyway--thanks!

The fundamental problem with her answer though is the issue is her receiving money from bankers
that were involved in causing the financial crisis and her answer doesn't speak to that issue.
In addition it isn't quite a true answer, it wasn't really "what they offered" so much as how much
Clinton asks to be paid before she'll give a speech.

Yeah, among other things: what did they think they were buying?

Yeah she has a lot of scars, a lot of experience; it wd be funny if she suddenly reverted to that person who wanted to accomplish something.

Yeah, I've asked, researched repeatedly, when has she ever accomplished anything significantly adverse to the powers that be?

As admitted in the film, she wants to be the first woman president. And for that, we should all step aside and ignore the needs and concerns of everyone in the nation, because Hillary has to achieve.

Screw that. And there have been other women heads of state. So I, as a woman of her age, really don't see the point of that.
