2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I just watched the Bernie interview from the Huff Post interview where [View all]Lucinda
(31,170 posts)16. You can find some of the specifics she ahs been talking about here:

And here:

As for how she plans on working with congress, she will most likely do what she always has done, find common ground with those on both the left and right who have a vested interest in making those specific improvements.
The first two are bills she sponsored which passed the Senate, but did not become law. The balance are cosponsored bills. All are bi-partisan efforts and related to health care issues. There are other bills not listed, I just had this list handy, both health care related and covering other issues. Contrary to some reports, Hillary had great working relationships with Senate Republicans.
