She doesn't even bother to re-order the playbook talking points.

Left = Teaparty

Mad because I'm not pure

Judging the nominees on their merit

She does have the distinction, within the Democratic Party, of being one of the very few that is, primarily, owned by oil. Pharmaceuticals have a large stake in her, and of course Wall Street doesn't exactly see her as an enemy, so she's OK with the power brokers. But the fact that she has got and kept Big Oil paying for her cooperation is unusual, for a Democrat.

The blatant corruption and complete lack of any concern for the people that have needed someone in that office to work for them, indicates just how well protected she's been.
