Thread Name: BS: Trump II- The Horror Continues
Subject: RE: BS: Trump II- The Horror Continues
Charmion nailed it the first time, a perfect 10. Many like what Bernie says, but know that an obstructionist House and Senate aren't going to let it happen. Hillary has been around the block a few times and knows how to broker a deal. If you'll remember, she was roundly criticized for working on a health care initiative during Bill's terms in office - the insurance companies ganged up when they got wind of her interest in a single-payer system that cut them out. Many of us hope that is still lurking in the background, and and older, wiser, and case-hardened Hillary can get closer to that ideal.

Trump, to his (minuscule) credit, doesn't disagree with everything the GOP tends to. He thinks birth control and abortion should be available, and some of his business and trade attitudes have caught the ears of a few Democrats. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day - don't assume because he takes a couple of more liberal stances that he would serve a liberal agenda. Far from it.
