Clinton's views have always been more nuanced than either her enemies or her fans have been willing to admit, and she has been working hard to mute her image as a hard-line, left-leaning ideologue. She talks about finding consensus on hot-button issues like abortion, and says it is "high time for a cease-fire" between the liberal and conservative wings of her party. When the author...
