Hillary represents everything Democrats say they oppose

Hillary Clinton is a war candidate. Is the Left now cool with that sort of thing?

Ethics, good government, the fight against big money, and the devolution of power away from the lobbyists and political power-brokers — these were the other major themes in 2006 and 2008. Democrats ran promising lobbying reforms. One of Obama’s most compelling themes was his war on lobbyists, and his promise to “end the game-playing” in Washington.

Maybe Obama’s failures in this regard have made the Left give up hope for any change in this regard. That’s the best way to explain how the same electorate could be happy with Hillary Clinton.

Clinton isn’t simply cozy with K Street. She is a hub of the Democrat-K Street axis. Her closest advisors are mostly revolving-door operatives who used their connections from her husband’s administration to get rich as lobbyists or consultants, and then peddle their influence in the Obama administration.
