Hillary's (& the Dems') Identity Crisis | National Catholic Reporter

Hillary's (& the Dems') Identity Crisis | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The Democrats ties to Wall Street are a function of wanting to get elected and have a healthy financial sector.  Obama reigned them in, but he did so in order to save them.  Whether they reward him with donations to his presidential library is an open question.  The rest of the country is a bit more restive and is taking up a much more socialistic train. The Republicans won't so at least some faction of the Democrats will.  They should be able to deal with the contradiction - unless the GOP's bumbling on immigration turns it into a minor party - which will cause its business sector to join the DLC Democrats and the Tea Party Sector to join the Libertarian Party, although the demographics are awful for them becoming a long term party.  Still, this will destabliize the Democrats, causing the true lefties to split off (and picking up some Greens and Libertarians).  Because it is a younger coalition, it will survive and become a second party - maybe even the winning party.  I don't suspect Hillary will be joining the younger party, although if she did it may prove victorious.  I doubt, however, that this will occur in 2016.  2020 is an entirely different story. I don't think HIllary has what it takes for two terms, so she will be spared the decision.
