Time is running out for Hillary Clinton

It's time for Hillary to reel it in and be serious about the issues. She seems to not give a fuck about the progressive base nor the youth. She has no real plan for addressing student loan debt + college affordability. She doesn't give a damn about serious and radical action on climate change. Finally, she isn't sincere about the needs of the working class. I'm done with this patty-cake bullshit of incremental change!

She may get away with this garbage now, but in November (if she makes it that far), she's toast!

smart for her, but she must ensure her nomination.

either that has been done, or they are gambling/writing off the commie pinko vote.

I believe that is a logical assumption based on their own words and staged stunts in this campaign.
i think they are playing to the real right wing and those conservative dems will even have doubts
if she continues this way.

5. Ridiculous post. Hillary was one of the most liberal Senators

In Congress. The smear that she is " running for the right wing Republican vote " is just goofy. The republicans hate Hillary. The only thing they hate more is the prospect of a socialist running the government. Talk to some Republicans. I have.

that was the golden age of progressive politics wasnt it?


(NO, IT WAS NOT.
It was probably the greatest crime
EVER committed against the taxpaying voters of the US)

and she didnt just stand by and watch.

3. IMO, she's running for the moderate and center right republican vote

And Trump is helping to chase them toward her---a centrist democrate who can make herself seem to the right of Jeb Bush.

She's the ideal solution to the radical chaos of the GOP this cycle
