In reply to the discussion: Congressman Justin Amash mocks President Obama [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)6. Yes...I remember his split with Clinton over Labor policy
and he's been even more vocal in years since about some of the Clinton policies. I meant that he has some positive name recognition from those years which would be helpful to him in Dem Circles because of the early Clinton years which might get him donors. He'd need money from the Dem Power Brokers. Obama's funding is now mostly from Wall Street. Clintons might still have some money connections who aren't Goldman-Sachs who would like to see a return of the Dem Party to more pro-labor policies.
My complaint with Hillary is not only ME Policy...but, the TPP Trade Agreement. I think she's still convinced that NAFTA worked and that Trade Agreements are good for American workers.
