Hillary Clinton is to the RIGHT of Trump on 2 major issues:

the Iraq invasion & Health Care.

Iraq
Trump: it was a terrible mistake that cost lives, money and regional stability.
Hillary: I voted for it, I support it now.

Health Care
Trump: I support a single-payer system that takes care of everyone
Hillary: No we can't!

If both of them win their respective party's nominations, this will be the first time in recent memory where the Republican candidate was not the most traditionally conservative. Go ahead, keep crowing that Clinton will win it in a walk: her arrogance, like that of her husband, is a tragic and fatal flaw.

Iowa party boss holding onto contested vote totals drives car with the license plate ‘HRC 2016’

Shillary needs to release both the vote totals and the speech transcripts. There is a reason she is perceived as dishonest.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/iowa-party-boss-holding-onto-contested-vote-totals-drives-car-with-the-license-plate-hrc-2016/

"The state Democratic Party chair who refuses to release raw vote totals from Monday’s razor-thin Iowa caucuses is a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter who even drives a car that officially displays her support for the presidential candidate.

Dr. Andrea “Andy” McGuire served as co-chairwoman of Clinton’s 2008 campaign in Iowa, and the Des Moines Register reported the license plate on her Buick Enclave reads: “HRC 2016.”"

The Media's Ignorance of History Works Against Sanders and For Hillary

Turn on cable news and listen to the description of Bernie's campaign: it is "unprecedented" and "unheard of" that a "self-proclaimed" socialist would EVER run for US President. Americans don't know socialism, they claim, they are scared by it and will not vote for it, and the young people who support it really don't understand it at all, they are simply naive dreamers.

Has no one ever heard of Eugene Debs? The dude ran for President five damn times and gathered a million votes -- six percent of the electorate at the time -- and helped create the labor movement that led to a better world for all working class Americans. It's simply shameful that Debs has been left out of the dialogue, and doing so makes Sanders' campaign falsely seem a completely a-historic lark or frivolous bit of future trivia. It lends false credence to Hillary's "no we can't" approach and serves to frame the national dialogue in a way designed to perpetuate the horrific status quo. Debs has been scrubbed from both history and contemporary political analysis and it is shameful.

"While there is a lower class, I am in it; and while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."

"The man who seeks to arouse prejudice among workingmen is not their friend. He who advises the white wage-worker to look down upon the black wage-worker is the enemy of both."

"The African is here and to stay. How came he to our shores? Ask your grandfathers, Mr. Anonymous, and if they will tell the truth you will or should blush for the crimes."

"For myself, I want no advantage over my fellow man, and if he is weaker than I, all the more is it my duty to help him."
