Scalia is old too but he said he'd rather die on the bench than quit during a democratic presidency... Let's hope it happens with Hillary in office:devil:

Problem with Hiliary is that she would get things done I think.

We'll get social security reform under her, she's already signaled an openness to raising the retirement age. We'll see intervention in Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan/*insert poor brown country*. Would perhaps even get immigration reform, in the form of a bill allowing legal, second class status and drastically raising visas so companies can avoid paying good wages to both low and high skill labor. Maybe criminal justice reform as well, said she wanted to "lower" mandatory minimums the other day. I can only imagine the budget deals she'll work out with Ryan and Mcconell. Privatization of schools and the post office will be almost assured too.

Hiliary Clinton is a centrist and a pragmatist. I say those things not as compliments however. She will pass legislation but almost undoubtedly she'll be working with a GOP dominated House and probably Senate as well. Much like welfare reform and NAFTA, and the TPP, slashing the already pathetic welfare state and allowing business to effectively operate outside labor laws will be justified as the best option.

We've got to enact neoliberal reforms before the republicans do will be the mantra.

I agree with everything you said but

No way in hell she allows even a partial privatization the department of education. No way in hell. Thats extreme right wing stuff, i doubt she indicated she was open to that.

Hillary is winning because she can actually get things done.
Sanders peddles wild promises and unrealistic shyt that would never be passed in the whacko House (let alone the Senate, even with a democratic majority). Free tuition, free child care, more SS benefits (paid for by higher taxes on the wealthy), etc :laugh:
Hillary might annoy liberals but at least she's realistic.
I'm always amazed when I hear liberals criticize Obama. Dude has outperformed expectations in the face of unbelievable opposition.

I honestly don't think that Hillary is nearly as scary as you think she is. I am almost 99.9% sure that a Hillary Clinton presidency will be just like the last 8 years of Obama. She has always been more liberal than Bill and most of her centrist inclinations have been part of her making calculated moves to get elected President. And her first term would be spent ensuring she doesn't do anything to lose her Dem base and end up facing a primary challenge from The Left when she was up for re-election.
The only thing she would worry me on would be her interventionist leanings. Especially if she kept Susan Rice and Samantha Power as holdovers in her admin.
