If Hillary wins in 2016, will people interpret her victory and subsequent presidency as a Clinton thrid term or an Obama third term? I am curious to read people's opinions on this.
I personally believe that different Democrats will interpret the victory differently. The ever shrinking center-left Clinton wing of the party will see the victory as a Clinton third term, and obviously the Clintons themselves will see this as justification for continuing their agenda. However, the now dominant extreme-left Obama/Warren wing of the party will shout that Hillary's victory represents an Obama third term. They will demand that Hillary redistribute the wealth, cozy up to Al Sharpton and his racist agenda, and be soft on terrorism. If Hillary chooses not to do this (a likely possibilty), the phony unity that we now see in the Democratic Party will totally collapse.
In fact, one guaranteed outcome of the 2016 election is that--win or lose--the sickening, phony love affair between the Clintons and Obamas (and their respective wings) will come to an end. If Hillary loses, each side will bitterly blame the other for the defeat. And should Hillary become president, the hatred that manifested itself during the 2008 primary will play out for four entire years, almost certainly guaranteeing a GOP landslide in 2020 (because "demographics" and the "blue wall," which give the party a huge advantage in presidential elections, are only applicable when the Democrats are united).

The important thing is keeping republican incompetence away from the White House for as long as possible...
I am sure that you want the "evil" GOP to be out of power, but what kinds of policies will Hillary follow? (Those of Bill or those of Obama.) If the bitterness of the 2008 primary is any indication, then certainly many Democrats care about the direction of the party post-2016. Almost no Democrat on this board (or anywhere else) wants to talk about this topic at the present time, but you will have to address the issue sooner or later.
Obama-Warren wing. Never existed; Warren is miles to the left of Obama foreign policy. I also do think HC is somewhat left of both BO and BC,domestically. Hillary wanted single-payer as the only option in 2008.
The Sharpton visuals are overrated; MLK and his followers got results, while truthfully, Sharpton has only gotten photo ops. OP, Do not confuse style and substance.
Golden Sachs 8th is correct. From the moment BC cozied up to Wall St, both parties had been bought out by those vultures. The GOP was bought out by the Street far earlier IMO.

That's why I called it GS 8th, I was going back to 1989.

It will most likely be a Hilary first term. There will probably me major differences between her administration (if she wins) and Obama's or her husband's... There is no doubt that Republicans will try and pit the different wings of the Democrat Party against each other, and there is no doubt they will fail...
I think her policies will be very similar to Obama.
