(3,891 posts)Hillary is not the strong candidate of legend. Look at her voting record. Bankruptcy reform which if you don't recall was where we individual peons could no longer write off debt but the corporations still could. I wonder why it hasn't lowered credit card rates as advertised?
TPP, NAFTA, Free Trade. All of those are supported by Hillary, despite overwhelming evidence that it is shattering the ability of the middle class to remain middle class.
Shall I continue? When we get down to it, the only things that Hillary supports that are supported by a vast majority of Democrats is Woman's Choice, and Gay Marriage. So on the issues, she's mostly Right with a foot solidly on the line left. I say a foot solidly on the line because it would be interesting to find a Democrat who didn't support those things. I don't think any are still in office even in the South. So when everyone is in favor of it, then that strength is a ho hum everyone is like that situation.
So on social issues she's firmly in the pack, and on economic issues she's firmly out of touch. This is not Michael Jordan. That's a Costanza from Seinfeld pretending to be Jordan.
