She pushed the envelope more times than most and got beat the fuck down for it. She was the first lady of Arkansas and she kept her maiden name and got beaten the fuck down for it. How dare a woman not take the name of her husband, she must not really support him.

She became the first lady and worked to turn that position into one of fundamentally more importance than taking the media on a tour of the gyna room. She was the first first lady to have an office in the west wing. And got beaten the fuck down for acting beyond her place.

She was the first to bring single payer nationalize healthcare 30 years ago. And got beaten the fuck up for it. She learned the hard way that to truly make change you have to get as many people on board with your policies. And while calling for revolution and declaring your ideals as loud as you can can be satisfying, if you don't win people over you won't get that change implemented.

I don't doubt that Hillary and Bernie agree on ideals philosophically, she is just much more knowledgeable about what will actually get done in a split government and what will not. And she isn't going to sell a campaign based on promises she knows she can't deliver.
