I see Hilteam is busy recasting her as yes-we-can liberal as she leaves the south
It started with the SC speech and the shapeshifting will continue until Bernie looks like Scrooge.

1. Political Zelig
Shape shifting policy is best uncovered with a historical eye.

2. She said herself that her politics are rooted in the conservatism in which she was raised.
She also said she's a moderate. And a progressive. She's all things to all people. If she did not exist, we'd have to invent her.
But the one thing she has never claimed to be, AFAIK, is liberal. Not even a traditional, or New Deal, Democrat. They've re-named themselves New Democrats so signal that they are not New Deal or Great Society/War on Poverty Democrats. I take her at her word. |

3. Well, her campaign tactics definitely give a nod to the GOP.
With Brock et al in her corner, she's definitely excelled in GOP-style dirty tricks.

5. How offensive to suggest she needs Brock!
She and Bubba did fine in 2008 without Brock, tyvm.
Bubba's The Natural when it comes to politics, a Rhodes scholar--and a good ole boy born in 1946 and raised in a small town in Arkansas, mentored by Senator Fulbright since he was a young high schooler. I doubt Brock can teach him much. |

7. True! In fact today, Bubba told a crowd in Nebraska that Hillary wants to make college free.
I don't think anyone could say it with a straighter face and as much conviction as he did.

10. Her game now is siphoning support from Bernie by adopting his positions.
Too bad for her, we aren't buying what she, Bill, Brock and all the others are selling.

4. Speaking of shape shifting
I'll give you one guess which is Hillary and which is Bernie.

11. You noticed that too
She has suddenly gone from I to we in one fell swoop...what an underhanded politician, how desperate must a person like this be to gain power? It can't be for the money, she has Goldman Sachs for that...oh wait, maybe that's the problem. She needs this job to pay her debt to Goldman Sachs and others...without it, she and bill just might be in serious trouble.

13. As she moves more centrist, to combat Trump, expect retaining Obama's Legacy to get jettisoned! nt
