Running to the populist left of Hillary

On trade (jobs) and foreign intervention.
Isn't this what tRump will do and will it cause problems for her should she secure the nomination?

Your thoughts?

The NDP, which had been leading the polls, became kinda irrelevant. How will they re-invent themselves now? Important question for Democrats!

Just pray Trump sticks with his climate denial. Otherwise, not much to argue with him being left of hawkish Hillary.

they know who to vote for. If they want to spread 'right-to-work' nationwide (jobs), they know who to vote for.

Democrats won't go around ripping up all of our international agreements like Trump claims he will. I trust they will not promote 'right-to-work' but fight to minimize or eliminate it.

Give the voters a choice rather than 'triangulating' to try to steal Trump voters.

Trump was for the Iraq War before he was against it.

I'm going to say that HRC has provided him with A LOT of ammunition.

She is not as good at taking down her opponents. She'll have to rely on her surrogates again.

We'll see what happens! The anticipation is overwhelming...
