http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/17/hillary-clinton-questions-liberals-immigration-lgbt-rightsImmigration reform, LGBT rights and dark money are sources of concern for many on the left as the Democrats campaign gets off the ground
1. Immigration reform: Can she clear a pathway to citizenship?
2. The Keystone XL pipeline: Will she speak up?
3. Dark money: Is she serious about campaign-finance reform?
4. Wall Street: Does she want to crack down or just look radical-ish?
5. LGBT rights: How much does she care, really?
6. Trans-Pacific Partnership: Will she stick by unions?

(6,150 posts)I didn't say anything about Hillary and what she will do or say. I was looking at the six big questions that liberals are asking, and not seeing anything related to African-American issues. I saw LGBT issues, but not African-American issues.

(11,417 posts)will come up soon and I think Hillary will be the one. The Clintons have a good record on African American issues I think.

(4,213 posts)She voted for the Iraq War. I'm not sure she favors a two state solution in Israel and seems more in Netanyahu's corner than any compromise with Palestinians such as West bank settlements. I worry that Ms. Clinton will take a hard line, a hawkish line if you will toward using military action. It concerns me from her vote and rhetoric. She wants to appeal tough I get it, but it's much tougher to use restraint rather than impulsive retribution.
Though she's just declared she's a backlog of actions taken and statements that have espoused her views. If she's changing them she needs to do so quickly, not so it looks like she's placating the left wing of the party.
