You can't really claim this was about saving her office. If she was a Senator in a red or swing state, I could see it, but that clearly wasn't the case.
And no, she's been a corporatist just like most politicians.
Excellent point. I was very concerned that she would be a little too trigger-happy. She's got some war-monger in her, and definitely too cozy with Wall Street. That's why I supported Bernie, and only reluctantly cast my general election vote for her, but in my mind I was voting against Trump. Most people in that election actually did not vote for someone, but against someone they considered worse.
