[...] Whee! It’s another Big Media portrayal of Hillary-as-centrist. Before it was the L.A. Times (see here and here). Today it’s the Washington Post. This one is actually a little more nuanced than the L.A. Times was, but it still basically maintains the fiction that, as the headline puts it, she is “A Politician Not Easily Defined.” [...]

Hillary isn’t anywhere near the center, she’s no moderate either, she isn’t even really a liberal at all. She’s an egomaniacal socialist who will say and do anything to get herself into power. If Republicans underestimate Hillary, she will win the White House, make no mistake about that.

LAT is working her side of the campaign and so will all the other MSM fellow travelers.

Hillary has dooped both sides of the political spectrum. The moderate left and the middle right are acquiescing because her poll numbers are up.

However, she has caused the far left to dish on her for the DLC speech and the far right can’t stand her. She knows she can’t win a national election with far left support only. So, her only chance is the middle.

The MSM knows this and their only hope is to try to convince the people that Hillary is a centrist.

I’m not fooled, but as I stated above some are.

Hillary is a die-hard liberal and will always be a die-hard liberal.

Regarding the so-called partial privatization of Social Security, have you ever noticed how unoffended most conservatives are when plans to partially privatize Social Security are described as partial privatization of Social Security?

Cf. liberals, and abortions involving partially born fetuses.
