Hillary can deliver the Congress to the Democrats, then you can teabag her from the left and force her to sign laws to her left. That's all you should want out of a President if you are a progressive.

Some people seem to be under the bizarre illusion that Warren or Sanders would do any better at forcing Boehner to pass their agenda than Obama currently is.

Well, Warren or Sanders would sign a lot less right-wing legislation into law than Hillary.

Yes, Howard Dean is such a right-winger. So is Warren, since she signed a letter urging Hillary to run. Oh, and Sanders complimented her a few times in interviews. He is also a right-winger and appeaser for praising Satan.

But anyway, what right-wing legislation do you assume Hillary would sign, and why do you think she would?

Right-wing legislation like NAFTA, DOMA, Repeal of Glass Steagall, Telecom deregulation, DMCA, Mickey Mouse copyright extension and the like that her husband signed.

I think this is fair point -- the way to get a progressive President Hillary Clinton is to elect a progressive Congress -- admittedly a difficult assignment given the gerrymandering in U.S. House districts.  But I consider judicial nominations a big deal and that is hugely impacted by the makeup of the U.S. Senate.

Back in 2008 many people were hoping that President Obama would be some liberal hero/magician once in the Oval Office.  History and experience should make them more realistic.  

The first step to get a progressive President Hillary Clinton is to start looking for random people with the name Hillary Clinton.
