"... big corporations, Wall Street, and the super-wealthy"
Seems he forgot: the "Main Stream Media", Washington's permanent Ruling Class and Ike’s second warning: “…that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”
> “She needs to move instead toward the anti-establishment – forcefully ***committing herself to getting big money out of politics***, and making the system work for the many rather than a privileged few.”
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!
Reich is a real comedian!
In his view Trump and the Republicans are the authoritarians not Sanders or Obama. He has got to be kidding.
Agree - the math is not on her side, but it’s worse than that - she is stuck because she needs the Sanders voters so she has to tact left. She needs to stop the bleeding wound in the middle that Trump has created. She can’t do both.
"She needs to move instead toward the anti-establishment – forcefully committing herself to getting big money out of politics, and making the system work for the many rather than a privileged few."
Hillary is all about $$$ and making the system work for the privileged few, namely the Clintons themselves.
I don't know -- Most of what he writes seems a bit short-sighted to me. :=)
Without massive fraud and vote rigging Hillary is toast. People are sick to death of her and both party establishments.
Trump rides in on a white (non-establishment) America first stallion.
Trumps the outsider, and he knew to pick an insider with a history of positive accomplishments as VP to validate him as having political skills. hillary's the ultimate insider. I don't understand why she didn't choose an outsider VP to validate her with the huge majority of the US that's mad as *ell.
Reich actually makes a good point. Go figure.
Reich might as well suggest that Dracula speak out against vampires, as urge Hillary to campaign as an outsider opposed to Big Money in Politics. She is the BMiP Whore of all time, and everyone except Reich knows it. The Clinton Foundation exists to launder bribes and park a permanent staff of paid political lackeys servicing Hillary’s ambition. Her campaign model is to spend enormous sums of Big Money raised from cronies who expect payback.
This isnlt the first time Reich has voiced “solutions” so implausible you hope he is being ironic (but he’s not). In “The Work of Nations”, Reich proposes confiscating 90% of the earnings of “talented wealth creators”; the revenue would finance educating others to be talented wealth creators, also to be taxed at 90% rates. Harvard pays him to teach economics, but he doesn’t comprehend the role of “incentives”.
Sure Hillary who has scammed 2 billion into her Clinton foundation is going to run on taking money out of politics,in a sense she already has taken it out of politics and deposited it into her foundation
Robert Reichhhhh is a mess.
Without massive fraud and vote rigging Hillary is toast. People are sick to death of her and both party establishments.
I pray you are right!
Just watched Trump’s interview with F Chuck and he did very well. I think he has hit his stride and if he keeps that tone I think he will do very well. He comes across very well in one on one interviews like that and it’s free advertising. Meanwhile you know who barely ever talks to the press and rarely off the cuff - she has surrogates for that kind of stuff.
I have been disappointed with his tone at different points during the primary, but I actually liked what he said about considering a Super PAC to target Kasich and Cruz. He won the nomination and its past due for Republicrats to be put on notice that you are either on the team or you face the consequences. That is politics and the fact that he would not name the third person he was considering this for will make these traitorous bastards think twice before opening their pie holes to trash him and win points with their media friends.
Robert Reeeeiiiiiiiissssscccchhhh cannot step outside the box. These old timers, he and Clinton, still hanging onto the last century.
Reich has always been very smart and he has a pragmatic streak that is sometimes stronger than his socialist tendencies.
He is right about this and you are right about her pick. The only explanation is that she is worried about specific swing states that he might help with and her campaign is recognizing that they need to move to the middle really hard because they are losing. Her pick is viewed as a “moderate.” Trump is killing it with middle America.
I think they might be giving up on the vocal Sanders supporters thinking (much like we have with the far right and Trump) that most of the fringe will vote for her - will find out this week if they remain stuck on stupid or if Billy Jeff has dusted off his “moderate Democrat roadmap.” This won’t work either because she is not Billy Jeff - she has always been much farther left than he is. Her campaign is floundering and the DNC is weakened going into the convention.

Part of the establishment is to be above the law.
Then why are three black “victim’s” moms speaking at the DNC?
If it wasn’t for money in politics, Hillary would be working for the ACLU
