Clinton: the Perfect GOP nominee (Maureen Dowd)

Her being more conservative than another Democrat in certain areas doesn't make her someone we would like

I hear what Dowd is saying but the reality in politics is you dance with the ones that brought you. However she has an odd coalition. Part center right and part progressive.

I was listening to left wing Pacifica free speech radio yesterday and they had a foreign policy guy on discussing Trump. It was so strange because clearly they don't like Trump yet they were saying some of his foreign policy positions are much more in line with their beliefs than Hillary's. Weird all the way around

They hate her like they hated her husband, but many admit behind the scenes that they can work with her because of her willingness to compromise and deal.

Heck, she worked with Gingrich as a senator even after he trashed her husband in the '90s, and he had good words for her, too.

Probably the Senate will go Dem. The House will stay Republican..
Clinton's first order of business ( she states) is comprehensive immigration reform; a non-starter. Then come the executive orders...gridlock ensues

Clinton should dismiss the house, pass new district boundaries by executive order, and hold new elections.

Not really true. The term originally referred to socialists who went Republican because they were so anti-communist (thus, they were "new conservatives"), but over time it basically came to refer to the Bush administration's war on terror policies. Few "neoconservatives" from the 2000's were former leftists.

Wolfowitz was a 1960s radical liberal. He contaminated conservative concepts with his nation building ideology, which is a socialist tenet, not a conservative one.
 
J Craft said:
So he's not liberal where the courts concerned?
His temperment is better than the dismissive and dishonest temperment of Hillary.
Nukes? Idiot.

Trump, in his effort to get the Republicans behind him has already cut a deal regarding the Supreme Court and will likely honor it.

I have no idea where you are getting that from. As mentioned she's already talking about executive orders on immigration and gun control.
why would the GOP work with a POTUS already saying that?

reasons...

1) What she says and what she does are likely two different things.
2) Her personality behind closed doors, when she wants something, from what I hear is very appealing. She is a shape shifter, it works when trying to get people to work with you. It worked for her husband.
3) She likes to play "lets make a deal" whereas Obama does not.

with due respect..you might as well be reading tea leaves..there is nothing there.
 
Bill Clinton is well known to be very good friends with the Bushes. Don't discount that, they work together and the Bushes still have a LOT of very powerful friends in Washington. If you combine the Bush friends with the Clinton friends.. they can accomplish things.

HRC has proven to work with people who acted like they absolutely hate her, she worked with Newt Gingrich and he said in the past she is someone that the Right can work with. She worked with the other side in the senate and in New York. She worked well with Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

you'd have to give examples -but contrast that with "my enemies are Republicans" and her already saying she is going to rely on executive orders.
She is going to be Obama on steroids - further destroying Constitutional governing in favor of pleasing her partisans.

Not that Democrats care -Oh I mean they did when Bush/Cheney espoused "Unitary POTUS" -but craven power junkies
only care about fulfilling their desires.

She's built in Gridlock
