It seems to me that Hillary is done

Paying lip service to the left. The hard shift rightward is upon her campaign, and IMHO a wee bit premature.

Good now the remaining primary voters will see the glorious truth of who she is, no matter what spiffy leather jacket she wears on Face the Nation.

135. Well...

to anyone paying attention, she was only paying lip service to begin with. You are asking for evidence that the lip service has ended, and she basically said it during the town hall. She is also now reaching out to Bush's Wall Street backers and letting them know that she "shares their values" (well duh). She never stopped doing fundraisers with corporate lobbyists, is calling for a more "muscular foreign policy" (and seems keen on citing Kissinger's approval) and has a hawkish foreign policy record, has a center-right record on economic issues and has supported policies since she entered politics that have benefited her largest donors (banks and corporate interests), etc. The evidence is objective reality, and if you think that her record places her on the left regarding economic issues or institutional power, then you probably don't value objective reality much anyway.

7. Trump as Unifier: Are Hillary Clinton and Neoconservatives Ready to Join Forces?

 

'Neocon elites are probably the likeliest faction to defect to Clinton, and what they'd want is blood-curdling aggressiveness overseas and Benjamin Netanyahu in charge of Middle East policy.'

On Wednesday, the Clinton campaign at least hinted at this approach by posting a list of people it described as "prominent activists, journalists and elected officials" in the Republican Party who have decided to reject Trump, quoting some who explicitly said they would vote for Clinton if she ends up as the Democratic nominee. A verbatim sampling from the list (which was further updated by the campaign on Thursday) follows:

• Lifelong Republican, foreign policy expert Max Boot: “ would be vastly preferable to Trump.’”

• Billionaire Bush-backer Mike Fernandez: “If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary.”

• Elliott Abrams, former foreign policy advisor for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush: “won’t be voting for Trump”

According to journalist and political commentator Sam Sacks, who spoke with D.C.-based Sputnik Radio about the same dynamic on Thursday, observers can expect to "see a lot of the neoconservatives, people who were, ironically, very close in the George W. Bush administration... coming home and supporting Clinton, who has a foreign policy record that hews pretty neoconservative."

Clinton probably won't be able to get meaningful numbers of Republican defectors. She is absolutely loathed among the Republican base and has been for years and years. Reuters says 84 percent of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Clinton, CNN has them at 85 percent. While she might get a few prominent neocons like Max Boot or Robert Kagan, they won't bring anyone over with them. And those few aside, the vast majority of the party will accommodate themselves to Trump eventually. It's happening already.

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/05/05/trump-unifier-are-hillary-clinton-and-neoconservatives-ready-join-forces

Sanders was referring to a Thursday Politico report that claimed Clinton’s supporters have targeted Bush family donors for funding, trying to convince them she represents their values better than presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“By the way, as I understand it, is now reaching out to Jeb Bush’s fundraisers in order to raise money from them, and that really casts a doubt on the parts of millions of Americans,” said Sanders, who currently trails Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“Are you really going to stand up for the middle and working class when you’re collecting millions from Jeb Bush supporters?”

138. Compared to conservative Republicans

She does represent their values. I know some moderate Republicans-fiscal conservative but will grudgingly pay new taxes if it's proven that it'll save in the long run. They tend to be a bit more center left on social issues such as abortion.

The moderates I know ( most identify as GOP) hated the candidates this go around. It's not a bad play for her to say that they might not like everything she'd do but that there is more in common with her than with what the GOP has become.

136. There is nothing what so ever

that the Democrats record in the last few decades places them on the left. Every formerly center-left party in the developed world has moved to the right, the Democrats are no exception, and long ago sold the store to corporate interests. Honestly, it seems that people have forgotten what it means to be on the left. Sanders, who is considered a far leftist, is nothing more than a mainstream New Deal Democrat, nothing more. People in the corporate press and the two corrupt parties that treat him as some wild eyed radical just help to prove how far to the right we've gone. Anyone denying this is ignorant to the facts, lying to others or themselves.

Nope, he knows it would destroy him. Yet his supporters have never considered any of this. What bullshit. They know better, or should.

So, I take it you are just fine with her "palling around with Republicans" for more fame and fortune (and money)?

No, I don't have a problem with anyone 'palling around' with Republicans. They're political opponents, not plague-infected parasites who can't breathe the same air as us. There's nothing wrong with having friends on the other side of the aisle. In fact, since governing takes compromise, it's probably a good thing.

Besides, Bernie has boasted that he can attract Republican support. Is the problem just that Hillary has actually done it, while Bernie is just a theory right now?

The fact that the entire party might be a bit less to the left does not mean that a solidly left-leaning Democrat today is really a Republican. Republicans have shifted so far to the right that there is truly no comparison.

It would be unfair to say that Republicans are the better party for minorities, since Lincoln was one, and it's unfair to say that today's Democrats aren't Democrats based on what the part was seventy years ago. We live in the here and now, and given where the parties are, Hillary is most definitely a progressive Democrat.

140. Look who was the #1 most liberal.

 

Thaaat's right: SANDERS: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280109868

And this article uses a bit more accurate methodology to unpack this "Hillary was the 11th most liberal Senator" meme (and once again, look who's at #1).

EXCERPT:

Relative to her time, Hillary Clinton is only 19% more liberal than the average Democrat from the 110th. When compared to her modern-day colleagues of the 113th, she’s more liberal than just 12% of them. Again — removing Blue Dogs and moderates would drastically reduce Clinton’s numbers here, bringing her almost to the center.



Clinton’s liberality is marked by red, while the party average is marked by green.

Sounds a lot less impressive than the “11th most liberal senator,” doesn’t it? Seems like you could call her a moderate Democrat.

In total, there are 18 senators below Clinton, but above the party average. That’s only an 8% difference, meaning that Clinton really isn’t that much different than the 18 members that separate her from the average.

Both candidates will need as many votes as possible from these groups in order to win the election. We have to give them some reason to vote Democrat, and that's just the way it is.

But you see it in his behavior and his often unconcealed contempt for the liberals around him in Washington and their policies. Liberal and radical are personality types, not just ideological orientations.

As for giving "real Democrats a reason," every one of us has tremendous reason to go vote, and a tremendous duty to do so. There should never be a need for any of us to be "given" reason instead of finding it for ourselves or a need to be coaxed, begged, bribed, or hogtied and delivered to the polling place. That's for children and low-functioning adults.

But since your calling out Bernie his speeches and positions have been pretty darn consistent for decades. Vermont is in the United States and he's served consistently for decades. I haven't been in Washington lately.

Maybe he has "evolved". Heck, we were told Hillary had "evolved" until she ran over to the Republicans as soon as she had grasp on the nomination. Many of us thought she might wait a bit longer, but where there's money, time is of the essence.

94. Bernie's radical by personality. As most of us know

 

perfectly well, he's voted with Democrats, most of them liberal, over 95% of the time for a quarter century. But we know he's radical by personality by his behavior, including his extreme righteousness, his vast intolerance of all who do not share his views, and his rejection of all political solutions that differ from his. These are classic.

Liberal personality is classically characterized by openness to new ideas, acceptance of those who are different, and and willingness to cooperate with others.

Thus, although there is great overlap in their goals and Hillary could probably accept most of his means to achieve them if they were possible/practicable, Bernie refuses to accept any of her means to achieve them even if they are achievable and would advance us toward his goals.

A willingness to accept complete failure rather than compromise is characteristic of radicals. It is not of liberals, and thank goodness for that.

Just tremendously different.

142. If Hillary is so "liberal", then what sort of "liberal" things is Wall Street paying her to do? (nt)

71. Yes, the press has ignored her. Not. Well, in a way they have. They haven't asked

 

questions that are pertinent...just Hillary worship. Bernie got called a Socialist/Communist out of the gate, and they did not use his term Democratic Socialist unless it was derision.

Apparently, there wasn't a term that described Hillary (other than a Clinton...which means whatever they want it to mean at the current time) because she was too busy evolving. Well, now we see what she's evolved to. No big surprise to many of us.

66. The timing is good.

 

She needs to run to the right as soon as possible, and she has the nomination in the bag. This is just the beginning. Once Trump gets to the left of her on a couple issues, anything can happen. Flag burning? Abortion? War on drugs?

95. Timing premature you say? NO, the timing is perfect, for Bernie. Let her show who she really is

 

so the voters know, BEFORE it is too late. Perfect timing. Would have liked to see it a bit SOONER.
Maybe they'll believe her when she shows them her real face. They wouldn't listen to us.

139. Hers is a backward looking politics. Like him or not, Bernie's perspective is the future

Hillary's backwardation may yet find election in 2016. But she will find herself in the ash pile of history. The future of progressive-ism will look more like Bernie than the sad dying embers of a 1990's cronyist/identity political perspective manifest in Hillary.

was probably anxious to get back to the political right element where she is most comfortable, and certainly most believable.
