The media has kept Hillary Clinton's radical young days under wraps for obvious reasons. She was a huge follower of Alinsky and other radical causes in her youth.  She only junked them when she realized that was not the way to the top. But I'll bet her allegiances to radical issues is still strong.
She screwed up during the election by trying to echo Sanders instead of pursuing a moderate path like her husband Slick Willy would have. She still would have gotten almost all her far left fans but would have won over many middle/working class voters who voted for Obama but didn't like her.
Not that I'm sorry she lost.

I've never gotten the whole Alinsky thing. Most of his rules can be countered easily if people just have the cajones to do so. Most of his stuff is bluff and bully in the hopes the oppo doesn't fight back. They are also easy to coopt and use against the very people using them against you.
The Republic is lost.
