Cassiopeia
(2,603 posts)She has merely changed her campaign rhetoric.
If elected in the GE she will immediately begin pushing for the things she truly believes in. War for profit, deregulation of the banking industry and Wall Street, trade agreements that benefit the 1% regardless of consequences to working Americans, and entrenching the power of fossil fuel and health insurance/phama power and profit.
These are the only things that Clinton has ever been consistent on. Maximizing profit for the 1% and nothing else.

(4,407 posts)She will be whatever she needs to be to get the nomination. When she talked to wall street, I'm sure she became exactly what they wanted, which is why she won't release the transcripts. In the unlikely chance that she gets into office, she will work for herself.

Hillary is against all things the left stands for and she is just talking left in order to keep what little support she has.

(3,111 posts)Nowhere here does he say anything good about Hillary. Only that if Bernie can keep going long enough, and she veers to the Left in order to keep up with any of his popularity, she will be "forced" to keep that Leftward lean even if Bernie is eliminated from the race.
"Fat Chance" is what I say. Hillary changes positions at will, and will abandon the Left and the minorities and anybody she wants, whenever she feels it is politically expedient.
But he's not voting for Bernie while being for Hillary. He just thinks that the fix is in and is hoping that Bernie's prolonged involvement will be for the best.
