NYT: Hillary Clinton at times seems tone-deaf to public anger

1. That's what many have been saying. Rahm Emanuel called us "f'ing politically incorrect word". People

who consider themselves Economic Progressives really want the Democratic Party to not only stand for social justice but economic justice as well.

What's the problem with this? Isn't this what we all believe in?

If Hillary can build on the sentiments of her speech tonight, highlighting the pioneering of people like FDR and RFK in establishing the principles of the modern Democratic Party, then she can help us move away from the policies and erroneous beliefs of Ronald Reagan into a new Progressive Era.

Bernie has already warmed this up, and shown how popular Progressive/Populist programs and policies can be, across a wide political spectrum of Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans.

If Hillary can unite her existing base with this base, and with all the people attracted to both, then we will have a political juggernaut on our side. And then we could all quite griping and fighting and calling each other names.

But if she triangulates and veers back to the Right to attract a few mythical "center" or "Republican" votes, there will be continued wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the results won't be pretty, whatever they may be.
