Hillary: More than ever (here’s why) [View all]

http://www.jewishjournal.com/opinion/article/hillary_more_than_ever_heres_why

Nonetheless, in this election season, almost out of the blue, but not quite, I have a candidate. Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton. I even have hope in my candidate.
While yanked leftward by Bernie Sanders, and often spouting views most everybody knows aren't really hers, still, Hillary Clinton's strong liberal interventionist impulses and support of the Jewish State remain apparent. It's in her bones and in her eyes -- you can see it, even when she tends to hide or prevaricate. Yes, these sentiments have been mothballed the past eight years; yes, the world and the context in which she'd find herself ( one hopes) in the White House have changed dramatically over this time; and, yes, the isolationist left and others hardly sweet on Israel, now clutch for the reigns of power. All worrisome.
