Is Clinton a radical socialist behind closed doors, talking with industry groups and business movers and shakers? Nobody would expect her to be a Bernie Sanders, and, well, no, she isn't.<\/p>\n

Is Clinton a fat-cat, cigar-chomping, screw-the-commoners one-percenter behind closed doors, talking with industry groups and business movers and shakers? No, she's distinctly not.<\/p>\n

Do I wish she were a more on the progressive side of things? Yeah, I do.<\/p>\n

Do I think she's so busy stuffing her pockets with Wall Street largess that she has no idea what progressive, liberal thinking is all about? Nope.<\/p>\n
