Moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats like Hillary Clinton aren't too far apart, neither are going to enact very much change at all. Bernie is a guy that could really shake things up, he's less bipartisan and doesn't seem as influenced by lobbyists and appeasing moderates, which I really really like.

Hillary isn't going to go as far left as Bernie obviously but she's far to left of any Republican in the race. Just in the last couple of weeks she has:

-- Called to preserve and expand Obama's amnesty of illegal immigrants.
-- Said that same-sex marriage is constitutionally protected.
-- Pushed to reduce mass incarceration and require all police to wear body cameras.

There are a couple of Republicans like Rand Paul who are strong on reducing sentencing but you wouldn't see any of this under most Republican candidates.

Is this gonna be like Ron Paul fleecing his sub-million strong supporters on the march to not being nominated while promising some golden age that is essentially impossible without constitutional amendments at best and another constitutional convention at worst?

We've seen that movie before...

Don't really believe this line. Politicians are going to be politicians. So something will pop up eventually.

So all politicians have skeletons in their closets, and if they don't, they still do? We just haven't found it yet? Sounds like a bit of an unfalsifiable hypothesis.

She's almost entirely lacking in terms of proper economic policy, though. "Better than the republicans" is a very hollow compliment.
