I thought it was an interesting analysis until he started fawning over Hillary's centrism and connection with "traditionalist" voters.

Hillary's voting record actually is probably in the center of the Democratic caucus, not at the center of America as a whole, mind you, but the center of their caucus. That just shows how nuts they are.
Still, the article has a good point to it I think.

It will be interesting to see how far Hillary goes to the left when she becomes president.

Yeah, he is "Conservative" the same way Bill Clinton was a "New Democrat". The only difference between them and the Kosties is they are merely repackaging the same song and dance FDR taught them while the Kosties are honest about their Socialist desires

As an ex-Dem and one who initially thought Clinton might be a conservative Dem, I'd have to say this guy is right about Clinton co-opting some conservative programs, but his only goal was to stay in power. Clinton was mostly nonideological when it came to using a certain political stance to stay in power. He would adopt any position, conservative or liberal, to do so. He has no core beliefs. The harm he did, especially in the national security area, far outweighed any good he did from adopting some conservative social measures like welfare reform... which he had to be forced to sign anyway.

Hillary is by no means an inevitable nominee. But it is a smear against her and her husband to suggest that they don't have ideas which have translated into political success for Democrats.
Only for Democrats named Clinton.
