Hillary the neocon?

She voted for Bush's war, and it cost her the 2008 nomination.  But will it cost her in 2016?

It's more than fair to say that George W. Bush's abject failures make Barack Obama president, and it may turn out to be equally fair to say that JEB! makes Hillary Clinton president, that is if the Republicans are stupid enough to offer him as their alternative to a Hillary presidency.  But do they really mind going down in flames for the sake of speculator class interest?

In President Hillary Clinton Would Be Far More Conservative Than You Think, the point is Hillary is a not so closet neocon who would be so acceptable to the American plutocracy that they might just go for broke and buy a JEB!-Hillary "non-choice" for voters in 2016.  If you can't have 100 percent of what you want with JEB!, you'll get 95 percent with Hillary and Bill.  One Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer summed it up this way for his class:

"If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine. We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.”

Kinda makes Jesse Venture look good.
