"We Must & Can Aim High": Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich on Endorsing Bernie Sanders

"What worries me about other candidates, particularly Hillary Clinton, is that the message seems to be we cannot aim high, or we must not be ambitious, we must not try to be bold, because we can’t get there. That, to me, is exactly the wrong message"

He makes a great point

Williams, and Rachael MadNow could take a lesson from this WOMEN on truth, dispensing Valuable information, and asking asking a Question that really means to extract an answer .

if it wasn't coming from someone supporting a candidate who sat on the board of Walmart--the biggest gun dealer in the country--and whose campaign just took in $385,000 from Alice Walton. I say it would be more compelling because if it were coming from, say, a Jill Stein supporter, at least it would have a ring of sincerity.

And that, of course, is leaving aside the rest of Walmart's unsavory history and behaviors.

I've read up on her proposals https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/
And while I can agree with some of them I just feel that a lot of the policy positions are reactionary due to Bernie's surge. I'm also not she'd follow through on them once in office
