The Dems are a center right party; why would they roll out far left ideas?Maybe. Maybe not. Obama has turned immigration 180 degrees without any input or cooperation from Congress. Hillary will be in at least as strong a position. If the Dems manage to take the Senate too, then by the end of her first term we'll probably be seeing SCOTUS mandates for a lot of the far left ideas, like community standards, the Fairness Doctrine, and imputed income taxation.
Like I said before, we all know that nothing of substance is ever accomplished in that first 100 days.
Bill Clinton raised top marginal tax rates, so did Obama by letting Bush tax cuts expire. Not sure what you are talking about.
I know what accomplishments won't occur..... any meaningful tax increase on the 1%ers and a reasonable tax placed on their estates when they die. Such horseshit. Could the Democratic candidate at least PRETEND to want to force the monied elite to pay their fair share? I remember the days when the Democrats were anti-war and pro taxes on the wealthy....
We need a class warrior that is on our side, not the oligarchs. I am hoping that we get one after Clinton leaves office. It is going to happen. It is only a question of when. Look at how well Bernie did with complete opposition from the Democratic establishment and little financing. Real change has to come.
I'd expect a SC nominee (to replace Garland and/or Notorious RBG), and some of the following: tax code update, anti big business legislation, fighting off House GOP impeachment for not being a republican.
You guys are just being obtuse.
Yes, and so can a former President.Obama for the Supreme Court
Can a former Presicent even be nominated ?
"What will Hillary's first 100 days accomplishments be?"
Who knows. It's just a stupid and shitty question filled with supposition that it is barely worthy of retort. Get back in a 100 days when/if She becomes President.
William Howard Taft was both president and later Chief Justice.Obama for the Supreme Court
Can a former President even be nominated ?
I'd imagine there would be a restriction there, or it would maybe have happened in the past.
Constitutional Law was always his thing.
William Howard Taft was both president and later Chief Justice.
Please. Get the facts-

Otherwise you just come across as another raving Hillary hater.
Read the site and I will give her points for getting the rhetoric correct. Her plan is not nearly as aggressive as I would like to see but it is certainly aimed in the correct direction. I will be shocked to the point of cardiac arrest if she actually implements ANY of that when she gets into office (given her ties to the uber-wealthy). Hopefully I am wrong. We will see.
It is important, I just don't think the Republicans will let her do much of anything.
A President Hillary still faces what President Obama faced.
Without 60+ votes in the Senate, there is no legislative agenda from the White House. Not much in the form of governing the country.
Only thing a President can do is use executive power knowing full well the other side cannot override a Veto.
So forget legislation, forget the law, it's what the departments of the executive branch take action on that matters.
I think she'll definitely get a Supreme Court nominee in front of the Senate for confirmation in the first 100 days--she'll probably stick with Obama's nominee as a concession to the fact it should've been his pick to begin with, but I really hope she just flips a bird to the GOP and nominates a "radical progressive".
