2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNow that we're past the Southern primaries, Hillary was able to throw Obama under the bus
http://breakingbrown.com/2016/03/hillary-clinton-defends-wall-st-donations-obama-took-money-wall-st-anyone/<During the run-up to the South Carolina primary, Hillary Clinton sharply criticized Bernie Sanders for not being supportive enough of President Obama. Now that were past primaries in states where the black vote is essential to victory, Clinton is throwing Obama under the bus for being even more in bed with Wall Street than herself.
During Sunday nights debate, Sanders ripped Clinton for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from Wall Street firms. Heres how Hillary Clinton defended herself:
President Obama took more money from Wall Street in the 2008 campaign than anybody ever had, Clinton quipped. Then she saved herself, by adding, when it came time to stand up to Wall St., he passed and signed the toughest regulations since the Great Depression.
Clinton is referring to Dodd-Frank, but in many ways Dodd-Frank was actually gutted by the industry that Clinton claims had no power over Obama after financing his campaign.
Still, Hillary Clintons message was clear: Dont come for me or Ill come for Obama. Liberals may as well get used to this refrain since every future demand from the base will be met by a comparison to the centrist Obama.>

OP
The question is, "Will HRC act in a similar manner as Obama?" Obama didn't race/gender her in 2008.

She claims it has had no effect on Obama. Bernie pointed out that no one is in jail. Seems both can't be true.
