hillary has become a bernie clone...how stupid does the campaign think we are? [View all]

first keystone xl. then she is "not in favor" (today) about what she reads on tpp. now she has some up with a "plan" to reform wall street?

this is a transparent attempt to stop her freefall and get through next weeks debate as a "progressive."

in the increasingly unlikely event she gets the nomination, she and her third way pals will sell us all up the river on all these issues and more.

fortunately, the voters can see through this pathetic and embarrassing display of political shapeshifting.

i did not agree with most of her positions, but at least she had positions to disagree with. this is just sad.
