2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumScary thought about general prospects with Clinton
I can see it already. When she is facing Trump and losing Independents by huge margin, that will be used as justification for the move to the right to win disaffected GOP voters with Trump. That will be the strategy.
Expect 3rd way politics before she is in the oval office and during the campaign season. I'm pretty sure tax cuts will be put on the table. No more talk of wall street reform. Talk to fix and "save" SS. Bipartisan immigration reform with border security + guest worker program. Education "reforms" ala chartered schools. Pivot away from AA as we need to win the hardworking white voters. No talk about further wars but promises will be behind doors about our next war (Iran?).
Welcome back to 90s politics! The worst thing is we will be pulling for it to work but it will fail.
