In even more interesting (and predictable) Clinton news, the head of her transition team is Ken Salazar, someone who supports the TPP and has said on fracking: “We know that, from everything we’ve seen, there’s not a single case where hydraulic fracking has created an environmental problem for anyone”. Which is true if you think being able to light your tap water on fire is safe (hint: it’s not). This is the person who will help identify and select some 4,000 presidential appointments.

Once again Hillary has shown how “progressive” her administration will be. I look forward to the next Stranger/Merc article about why liberals should be excited about Hillary while completely ignoring shit like this and her general election pivot to the right.
