Negotiating "over adult beverages" would be a feature over what the New York Times portrays as a Clinton presidential style that would resemble that of Ronald Reagan of Lyndon Johnson, both legendary schmoozers. "Her greatest strength is that she really listens to people, she understands what their political and policy needs are, and she tries to find that space where you can compromise," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress and a former adviser to both Bill and Hillary Clinton.
