'The Hill' is fairly left of center. The author of the article was a pollster and advisor to President Bill Clinton - you know, a Democrat. You are clearly confused and disoriented by an objective piece of journalism. Dude you are the king of labels and the master of identity politics if I ever saw one.
Hill will publish any editorial for clicks, they are left of profits. And I could care less who he worked for, these people are for hire and will do anything for money, this is not journalism, good journalism doesn't ask loaded questions with an agenda.
Thanks for your psychoanalysis, not interested.
