There's no doubt that Hillary is the candidate of Wall Street. Even more dangerous, though, is that she is the candidate of the military-industrial complex. The idea that she is bad on the corporate issues but good on national security has it wrong. Her so-called foreign policy "experience" has been to support every war demanded by the US deep security state run by the military and the CIA.
Hillary and Bill Clinton's close relations with Wall Street helped to stoke two financial bubbles (1999-2000 and 2005-8) and the Great Recession that followed Lehman's collapse. In the 1990s they pushed financial deregulation for their campaign backers that in turn let loose the worst demons of financial manipulation, toxic assets, financial fraud, and eventually collapse. In the process they won elections and got mighty rich.
Yet Hillary's connections with the military-industrial complex are also alarming. It is often believed that the Republicans are the neocons and the Democrats act as restraints on the warmongering. This is not correct. Both parties are divided between neocon hawks and cautious realists who don't want the US in unending war. Hillary is a staunch neocon whose record of favoring American war adventures explains much of our current security danger.
Just as the last Clinton presidency set the stage for financial collapse, it also set the stage for unending war. On October 31, 1998 President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act that made it official US policy to support "regime change" in Iraq.
It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.

When a Clinton loses the Huffington Post ....
She is just plain evil.
She certainly is. And almost as filthy as Obama who is also pure evil.
I don’t think she will be their nominee. Thank God.
Hillary, Jeb, Christie, Kasich, Fiorino and Rubio are all on record as wanting to go to war with Russia to make Syria safe for jihadists and make themselves look tough.
Candidate of the War Machine?
Who are they kidding?
Holy cow! Huffingtonpost told the truth.
Yes, but she is the standard bearer. She quit her job at the State Department to further the deception.
Yepper, What a nightmare.
Jeffrey Sachs is as crazy as a bag full of bat-crap. In his world, there is only Left, Lefter, More Left. Rationality long ago fled his mind.
However, it is nice to see one hardcore leftist criticize another hardcore leftist. I’m like the spectator in the stands who keeps throwing the opponents in the ring more swords and spears so that they can kill each other.
Good hunting, comrades!
Varvel sure can nail it.
Got a big LOL outta me with that one!
Just as LBJ said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America,” Hillary can say, “If I’ve lost Huffington Post, I’ve lost America’s low-info voters.”
Jeb! is also the war candidate. I can’t believe his tv ads saying that he wants to go back to the ME and defeat ISIS.
Gulf War 1: HW Bush
Gulf War 2: GW Bush
Gulf War 3: Jeb! .... Seriously?
Low info,yes, but they are coming out for Trump and Sanders.
Geez; Huffpo driving a stake through the heart.
