kos, I know you've been telling us for months that Hillary Clinton is a "true liberal," and that she has moved left to accommodate a more left-leaning electorate, but your piece earlier today about the Third Way's apparent panic over Sanders finishes with an extremely dubious conclusion:
Regardless who wins the Democratic nomination, our next president will be a Democrat, and he or she will do it by explicitly rejecting the Third Way agenda.
In that piece, you list the Third Way Board of Trustees. A simple search using the
OpenSecrets.org database reveals a far more likely truth.
Here are the Third Way board members who have donated to a Democratic presidential contender this cycle, including the amounts they've donated:
Georgette Bennett - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Lewis Cullman - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
William M. Daley - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Robert Dyson - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Derek Kaufman - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Thurgood Marshall, Jr. - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Herbert Miller - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Michael Novogratz - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Kirk Radke - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Ted Trimpa - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
Joseph Zimlich - $2,700 - Hillary Clinton
See a pattern here, kos? Do you really believe Hillary Clinton will be "explicitly rejecting the Third Way agenda?"
Seriously?
Maybe if we all cross our fingers, our eyes and our legs, Hillary will be the liberal we're hoping for, right? Because, even though these folks are all maxed out to her campaign, we can rest assured that they expect nothing in return.
Even Bill Daley, the guy you expressly call out in your piece. The guy who maxed out to Hillary Clinton.
