35. If there is no quid quo pro . . .

. . . then it's because Mrs. Clinton has been on the wrong side of the issues regarding trade and regulation from the start.

If that is the case, I could no more support her than I could support Ronald Reagan. True, Mrs. Clinton has a better record than he did on issues of social inclusiveness, and I feel very passionately about those. However, as long as she mimics the corporate line on regulation and trade and promotes policies that have brought ruin to the American middle class, her mostly positive record on racial minority rights, gay rights and women's right are meaningless.
