<\/a>To say that Hillary Clinton is flawed is to say that she is human. So are the rest of us. I would have preferred Bernie (at least up until the time that he seemed to become impervious to the questionable conduct of some of his supporters). But I am confident now that Hillary could be a very fine president. She deserves a break from some of us who have been largely unwilling to give her breaks in the past. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n It is interesting that the left\u2019s most common criticism of Hillary is that she is a tool of Wall Street. She has done little to distill that with her words. But through thick and thin, no one has been able to find a connection between the way she governs and ties to Wall Street. She might enjoy getting the last laugh in when governing in a progressive fashion after taking so much money from Wall Street.<\/p>\n The Donald has given us an opportunity, not just to elect Hillary Clinton but to regain control of the Senate and possibly the House. If at all possible, it would serve progressives well to give us a similar political arrangement in the federal executive and legislative branches as we had following Barack Obama\u2019s election in 2008. If it\u2019s a question of how to spend political capital, I have tremendous confidence in Hillary Clinton. Let\u2019s give her that opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To say that Hillary Clinton is flawed is to say that she is human. So are the rest of us.
