(10,602 posts)26. I Certainly Agree On That. Obama's Major Weakness Is That He Believes In Getting Along
Clinton did not help with his NAFTA push. And Obama is not helping with Arne Duncan at the Ed helm and his support of TPP. They have done a lot of damage by supporting GOP policies.
Having said that Clinton could not have won without running as a new Democrat. Obama made a mistake negotiating. He needed to go left but did not. He should have because he has been accused of being a socialist. That meme has eroded his popularity over time.
As I have said so many times. Dems running openly as strong pro labor progressives do not win. And they really get creamed in the South and in red states where people are the poorest and sickest.
