Yea, Pantsuits is just too darn conservative......

Quote:WASHINGTON — Several influential Democratic senators are boosting a progressive activist group’s campaign aimed at pushing Hillary Clinton to adopt left-leaning policies as she readies her all-but-certain presidential campaign.

Signatories to the amorphously titled “Ready For Boldness” campaign led by the Progressive Chance Campaign Committee now include Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who is retiring after 2016, as well as some 5,000 others including House progressives, state-level politicians and former U.S. senators.

The drive has been boosted with statements of support from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN).

The effort calls on the Democratic nominee to “campaign on big, bold, economic-populist ideas” including specific proposals like expanding Social Security benefits, breaking up big Wall Street banks, debt-free college, reducing the influence of “big-money,” boosting clean energy and “ensuring that working families share in the economic growth they help create.”

It represents the latest effort by progressive activists to influence the direction of the 2016 election and the expected campaign by Clinton, whom they accept will likely be the Democratic nominee but remain skeptical of.

It's a brilliant move. This will make HRC look more moderate. When she rejects them.

Yep, that's the difference between the Dems and the GOP. It used to be that the GOP would crown a candidate and the Dems would rip theirs apart. Now the situation is reversed.

HRC will face someone, who will push her somewhat. She'll simply dance her way through the primaries.

Pantsuit has too many skeletons in the closet. And she's stale; her expiration date was long ago.

Sleazy lawyer, invisible senator, incompetent secretary of state. What part of that doesn't scream "presidential timber?"

And she beats Cruz in 41 states. She beats Rand Paul in about 40. Against Jebbie, she'd win, but it would be a bit closer.
