Much of the right is probably cackling right now with the news — reported only by NRO's Byron York — that Hillary got booed by the left nutjobs at today's Take Back America conference. See this video.
But this is quite clever of Hillary. I think she is rightly confident that the left will eventually come around to her campaign. And she can cite the way she defiantly stood up to the booing of the hard left as bolstering her centrist credentials, which is wholly a media fantasy.
It's all part of the master plan. The Clintons are too smart to "risk" confronting the hard left if they were not confident it would pay off later. And if you watch the video, the cheers are much more prevalent than the boos.
