Hitchens is probably the only high-profile leftist to come out strongly...

1) That doesn't mean he isn't still a Leftist.

2) That doesn't mean he isn't still very wrong.

Actually, the combination does indicate that he's deluded or brain-washed. He understands enough to oppose Clinton, but not enough to oppose Leftist policies in general.

He understands enough to oppose Clinton, but not enough to oppose Leftist policies in general.

Agreed, but I'll take allies wherever I can find them. And he does have guts, to stand against the almost unanimous voice of his colleagues.
