10. The health care plan was not truly a National Health Plan, as

we see in other countries. It was very complex, difficult to explain, and hard to sell, while the conservative response (both repub & dem) was "It's socialism".

Now the conservatives have the "socialist" Hillary to project on, while progressives see someone who is too prone to abandoning progressive causes in order to reach out to the conservatives.

IMO, that doesn't make for a strong candidate, regardless of what her actual record is. I'm willing to be convinced, but I'll have to see her clarify her positions and stop reaching out to those who will never support her in any case. She'll have to establish her own progressive credentials.
