House Dems endorse @HillaryClinton 2016. @RepJeffries, on steps of City Hall, calls her an "authentic progressive"

1. Love all 3 of them.

2. Moderate Centrist Hillary disagrees

But that was yesterday Hillary, maybe today Hillary is progressive again...though she'll never be authentic.

3. It's debate day, so she'll be progressive until around 8:30pm n/t

4. Yep that Hillary you invented in your mind who is

blocking you from getting your socialist utopia.

7. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just missed this

rather than assuming you are being intentionally dishonest and insulting.

"You know, I get accused of being kind of moderate and center," Clinton told the audience at a Women for Hillary event in Ohio. "I plead guilty."

11. And yet her voting record in the Senate was 93 percent the

Same as Sanders' voting record and she was the 11th most liberal senator during each two year cycle by DW-Nominate measuring.

Awkward these statistics.

14. 93 percent, hunh? I guess Sanders CAN and DOES work with Congress..

contrary to the conventional wisdom we see posted around here.

12. Hillary was talking about getting things done in DC--not just using the bully pulpit and rallying

outside buildings in DC --like Sanders has said.

On Thursday, Clinton reiterated that willingness to compromise, telling the audience that while she would "meet anytime, anywhere with anyone to find common ground," she would also "stand my ground" on issues like abortion and women's rights, among others.

Clinton argued at the Columbus event that being in the "center" is a positive, not a negative.

"I think sometimes it's important when you are in the elected arena -- you try to figure out, how do you bring people together to get something done instead of just standing on the opposite sides yelling at each other," Clinton said.

10. Does "authentic progressive" fit with "guilty moderate"?

[Hortensis]

13. Hillary Clinton - activist for 50 years and more. Yes,

she did start very early -- in high school, babysitting children of migrant laborers with her church youth group. That's how long she's been working for the wellbeing of women and children.
