Does Robert Reich not understand that if Hillary tried to portray herself as anti-establishment, NO ONE would believe her, and Trump would mock her mercilessly?
Hillary can’t make over herself, that would look even more desperate, but she could have gone down that path for a VP pick, if anyone authentic would have her. It would at least be an acknowledgement she is ready to fight.
"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.
“[the problem is] a political-economic system that won’t cushion working people against trade’s downsides”
I wish Reich, an economist, would give specifics on how to do it. If he did, he’d sound like Trump.
“Donald Trump’s authoritarian populism is a dangerous gambit”
I just don’t see that.
“... and making the system work for the many rather than a privileged few.”
He’s feeding us pablum. I expected more from him.
I don’t see that.
