I think it started even before her involvement with Goldwater. Things stick in your subconscious when you're a kid. There is a big difference between a childhood that turns you into a Goldwater fan and a childhood that makes you a fan of Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society.
And then there was her experience as First Lady of Arkansas, not exactly a Progressive state. Not even a liberal one for that matter.
As First Lady of the U.S., she took on the American Health Insurance industry. Maybe that defeat turned her into a "pragmatist," meaning that she learned to settle for what corporate America would let her have, and developed a "fuck you I've got mine, Jack" attitude to go along with her pragmatism. Bill's impeachment had to have made an impression.
After Kennedy, Kerry and Daschle stabbed her in the back, she compromised with Obama in 2008, giving up her campaign before the Democratic convention in return for the Secretary of State job and a place at the head of the line of candidates for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Had to be a bitter pill to swallow.
Here's how they make a zombie. Drug them and bury them. Dig them up, beat them and give them their zombie name. Put them to work in the fields.

It's alwats been her sense of entitlement for me. Add the inauthenticity and Bill's womanizing and there you go.
And she can't even sing.
Quinn, old friend. How have you been? Come see me on Twitter some time. Working on the Sanders thing so I don't have to move to Canada.
Strange days, Billy.
The only candidate I can even bear to listen to is Bernie. Staggering though, eh, that the last best voice fighting for anything useful is a 74 year old socialist out of Vermont.
I stopped talking politics in recent years, after my egregious lapse in judgment and overwhelming disillusion after 2008 and you-know-who. Been sticking to safer stuff - hockey - seeing if maybe I could refind my feet.
But guys like Trump can wash a lot of life away pretty quick. so either people get their heads back into the game a little, or things could get even worse. So Run Bernie Run.
I'll see you on the Tweeter as well. Good to hear you folks.
