Hillary seems to be captured by special interest, almost completely so. She is loved by banks, defense companies and oil and gas companies:

She supported the Iraq war, and opposed the recent deal with Iran.

I am not sure what is a redeeming quality of Hillary as a democrat, she seems like an establishment GOP candidate in her positions, excluding social issues, more than anything.

You just said it yourself: social issues. That's the only thing where mainstream Dems and Reps differ. They use these "wedge issues" to give the illusion of differences between the parties and keep us distracted from the real issues.
