I think he can push Hillary a bit further to the left. Him and his have to get the big picture. If not, it could be scary.

The problem isn’t Hillary the problem is the people a President will have to work with. Obama was more left wing before he had to try and negotiate and work with Congress. The same thing happened to Bill Clinton, you have to become more moderate and enact policies you may not agree with, like Barack deporting more illegal immigrants, fighting for the TPP, supporting a more conservative foreign policy with military drone strikes and other controversial actions.

Sound familiar to the Clinton years when Bill came around to supporting legislation the Republicans in Congress were writing like tough on crime bills and NAFTA? This is how Democrats get things done, and then later on the people who sat at home in the midterms get to call left wing politicians like Bill and Barack and now Hillary as “too moderate” or “a Republican.”
