So how long after election does Hillary drop Sanders planks from her agenda?

[Lincoln Republican]

So how long after the election does Hillary drop the more radical and extreme Sanders planks from her agenda?

Please vote and discuss.

[Fuzzy Bear]

In a nanosecond, if she's elected.

The folks who are in the tank for her are Free-Trade Globalists.  Their bread is buttered on the anti-Sanders side.

Hillary Milhous Clinton.  That's the kind of President she'll be.

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

I think that she now recognizes that the Sanders wing of the Dems is both large and vocal. However, if his agenda proves impossible to pass through Congress (my biggest concern about him in the first place), then I can see parts of it being abandoned.

[Blue3]

She'll get all she can done, like she's said.

[Penelope]

Roughly five seconds after her first inaugural address.

[PresidentSamTilden]

Which planks are you referring to?

[Virginiá]

I don't really think she is going to on most things, and on things she does, assuming the GOP controls the House, she will probably be cutting deals to get what she can and people will assume that if she caves on anything, like, say to drop the corporate tax rate 5% or so to get loopholes closed that will in turn help pay for her initiatives, people will scream TRAITOR, FLIP-FLOPPER, SHE'S CONSERVATIVE, and so on. In the end, Some will understand what she did and people who always thought she would flip-flop will get their false confirmation they so craved.

But for the record, I think this because I just don't see the political benefit to turning her back on the people. It would hurt her and the party a lot going into 2018/2020, which would put the kibosh on her presidency even more. She is smarter than that. Many conservative policies are no longer popular in this country so there is nothing to be gained by it.

How exactly does anything become "dropped"? Platforms often contain particular planks that the candidate themselves don't agree with; there's never a need to formally drop anything. To answer your question, I think Democrat's have become tired of being the only party in our democracy who compromise and work with / reach out to the other side, hence the revival of a firm progressive wing with Sanders. Hillary can throw us over at the side at her own peril; I trust Sanders and Jane to hold her accountable like they said.

[dspNY]

I don't think she can drop them. Remember Sanders got 43% of the primary vote so she has to throw some bones to the Sanders supporters

And the Chinese billionaires donating to Trump aren't...?

[Speed of Sound]

Immediately. They're basically not there now. Any progressive voting for her in the hopes of those policies being enacted, rather than mere to defeat Trump, is about to be severely disappointed.

[rafta_rafta]

Hillary tried to get Universal Healthcare passed in 1994, way before even a private mandate became such a hot button issue. She won't drop the agenda of the progressive wing of the party  - What would be her legacy if she can't bring in signature legislation

[Pyro]

Anything remotely progressive will be gone faster than a toupee in a hurricane.

[rafta_rafta]

Immigration reform will be a priority , education reform would be next. I don't think she will have enough political capital left to improve Obamacare.

[Devout Centrist]

Hopefully gone before I decide to vote R in 2018.

[Figueira]

Immediately, if she gets a bad Congress.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Hillary will do nothing to renegotiate any existing trade agreements, and will find some pretext to support TPP.

Hillary will do nothing substantive to "reform" large financial institutions; they are too much in her camp as it is.

The far-left social agenda will stay.  The economic agenda will be moderately conservative at most. 

[DrScholl]

This must be some form of bargaining during grief.

It's frankly adorable you think Hillary with Congressional Democrats to deal with is somehow less genuine about her opposition to free trade than Donald Trump, who'd have Congressional Republicans to deal with and made a fortune off of outsourcing and has given us ZERO reason to trust anything he says, LOL.

Actually, I take that back: it's sad.

[The Ex-Factor]

It very much depends on how Democrats do in the Senate and the House. Hillary thinks in terms of what's politically realistic, not what she would actually like to do. I'm sure if she had her way we'd have a single payer system but she's not going to push for it given the long record of that particular policy's failure to be enacted in the U.S.

I do think Hillary aligns far more closely with Bernie on domestic policy than trade and foreign policy though.

Can't decide who's more duped, you or Fuzzy Bear.

Whenever people scaremonger using free trade or globalism, I do that to mess with them

[Coolface Sock #42069]

TPP opposition: immediately
The rest: too early to tell

[IceSpear]

So is Atlas still clinging to the myth that Hillary is a closet right winger? Some of you need to get a grip.
