(5,272 posts)Mush is what Clinton ran on in the primaries. Post primary, she actually started taking a couple policy stands. That was a pleasant departure from what I'm used to.
It would be nice if someone could answer me this: What legislation is not pie in the sky, given our congress and Senate? What does it take for blue dog dems to vote for legislation, let alone republicans? What could Clinton have possibly gotten passed? She told us Bernie wanted fantasy and that she could actually work across the aisle to make things happen, but assuming that were true, what would legislation that does that look like? Assuming it weren't true, I don't know why people would rather the person with the bully pulpit not be rallying the American people behind things that would actually energize them.
