Hillary Lurches Left

"Hillary Clinton is embracing the left.

The Democratic presidential front-runner has long come under fire from liberals for what they consider a hawkish approach to national security and a too-cozy relationship with banks and other well-heeled interests.
But on the campaign trail this year, Clinton has adopted a tone — and rolled out policy after policy — that seems straight from the playbook of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the benchmark of liberal thinking on Capitol Hill.
The trend leftward reached a new level last week, when Clinton introduced a sweeping $350 billion proposal to reduce the burden of exploding tuition debt for millions of college students and graduates — a provision included in the Progressive Caucus's budget for the first time this year.
Clinton has also adopted proposals on immigration, education, voting rights and criminal justice that are winning strong reviews from leading liberal Democrats." TheHill
