Remembering the 1994 midterms, wouldnt Hillary just be a conservative the first two years (Congress, Republicans)

What do libs have to get excited about with Hillary? If she wins, she will just pivot to the midterms which means acting like a conservative.

No she won't. Obama was able to push leftism with a GOP-controlled Congress; Hillary will be able to do the same (which, IMO, is not a good thing).

Dems lost Congress because Obama pushed leftism.

No, they lost it because of the economy. People were concerned about jobs and not "leftism".

Leftism policies, had effects on the economy. To pretend they are unrelated is just silly.

The past isn't necessarily prologue.

Given the level of opposition and obstructionism that Obama experienced with the GOP members of Congress, what makes you think Clinton is going to get any sort of cooperation from the likes of McConnell and Ryan? Also, Clinton has no illusions about the extent that the Republicans will throw everything at her given her 25-years of experiencing their nonsense.

Boy, you Trump folks must really be desperate if you're grasping at straws to this extent. Sad!
