I wouldn't go so easy on Hillary. She basically gave up the fight for single payer universal healthcare. I want a candidate who shows resiliency and determination. The American people - if we can believe the polls - want single payer universal healthcare. So, why did Hillary give up the fight? Too much opposition from the insurance companies? I don't buy into that. On the take? That's my read.

Hillary is the typical mainstream politician who stands for one thing at one time and another thing at another time. That is to say, she has no principles or values. That's partly why she lost. Same with foreign policy. She supported the Sandinistas in El Salvador against US forces in the 80s and then went back to being a Super Hawk from her Goldwater Girl days. She changes her positions like a swing trader. That's fine (in certain circumstances) when it comes to the stock market, but a recipe for defeat in a Presidential Election.
