No, I don't believe Clinton can change, I see she is still looking to people like Larry Summers.
And, as a grandma myself, please do not insult me by "playing the grandma card". As a grandma, I feel more fierce than ever about trying to make sure my grandson does not have to go get killed in a useless war, and has a chance at a good life and a good job. I do not trust Hillary on those things. She is a one-percenter, and I have read elsewhere today that Wall Street knows she is just politickin' when she waxes liberal or progressive.
In any event, the TPP has pretty much sealed my deal. And so it goes.
