If Bernie hadn't been in the race, for example, would Hillary have taken a firm position on the Keystone XL pipeline, the minimum wage and the Asia trade deal?

I think not... Hmm
  • As secretary of state, Hillary described TPP in glowing terms. Later, she stepped back from that support
  • For much of 2015, Hillary avoided taking a position on the XL Pipeline - she finally relented.
  • In July 2015, Hillary said she supported a $12 federal minimum wage - Bernie said $15
Whereas, Bernie was always in front on these issues, on the correct side. Hmm
