This should be a interesting campaign!

they all looked pretty regular to me.

throughout the whole campaign. The media will play, 'Gotcha', and she'd better be ready. It is simply a fact that she does not generally come off as warm and cuddly in televised interviews. This can be problematic, especially if the Republicans choose a candidate who happens to be quicker on his feet than the last few duds they have put up.

Who ever produced it did a great job. Very inclusive of everyone.

and that's why I posted the thread. I have never been a Hillary fan but that was one hell of an announcement of intent.

And, I also cannot think of anything that could have made it better.

It wasn't about her - it was about constituents - a brilliant campaign strategy.

This is the best possible way she could begin her campaign, focusing on ordinary people with all their hopes, dreams and struggles.

fucking brilliant video, actually

They cannot do so without exposing themselves as big fat lying Bigots.

who are going out there and doing new things. Lots of enthusiasm.

She made the right choice in how she presented herself.

I've often heard the saying "You never get a second chance at making a first imrpession" but damn if she just didn't do it!

Just said the same thing but not as well

here's hoping she lives up to her message

Also not a fan, but I can't imagine that video being any better. Really well done. I just wish I knew whether the overt stealing from Elizabeth Warren ("the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top&quot was a core belief or naked opportunism. Guess we'll see. But if they can keep this tone up for the whole campaign, she'll win in a walk.

Hillary is not stupid. She saw the way things were coming down within her own party.

I think his is exactly what Warren was aiming to do...and probably still is. If so, keep it up Elizabeth...HRC will need to have your message refreshed over and over again in the upcoming campaign...

he just can't help himself

Democratic White House trying to get health care reformed. How material about the stacked deck of the wealthy is the sole property and creation of a person who was a Republican when Bernie Sanders was helping found the Progressive Caucus along with other members who are still part of that 69 member caucus such as Peter DeFazio and Maxine Waters.
I mean, Warren is great and all that, but a Republican woman who moved to the left in the mid 90's just might have been pulled in that direction by the example of Hillary Clinton. Warren was a Supply Sider, a Reaganomics advocate, she was mistaken and on the wrong side of every issue. Her Party and candidates were anti choice when Hillary was Pro Choice, anti gay when Hillary was Pro Gay, her Party opposed every last piece of policy that might benefit regular people, busted Unions and ignored AIDS all while Liz was loyal to them and Hillary was a good Democrat.
So what pulled Liz to the left? Anyone know?
I love what Warren says these days, but I really loathe the pretense that she does not have a long and rather contradictory history with the Republican Party. It's insulting and simplistic.

Thank you

I love that people change their minds if they go in the right direction It tells me they have thought about it, and examined the issues rather than just following friends or family. My dad was a republican until Reagan made his head explode but everyone else in my family and extended family were/are politically active dems.


The thing about "reformed whores" as we lovingly called my dad when he switched, is that they sometimes become the most liberal and outspoken. My dad put some of the godless commie pinkos in my family to shame with his politics after Reagan.

She worked for McCarthy in 68 and McGovern in 72 while Elizabeth Warren was supporting Nixon...


BTW, her flirtation with Goldwater was when she was too young to vote...

Huzzah!

I say u don't always get what you WISH for - a Republican President at this point in history I think we might all be able to agree on would take us back in time decades if not a half-century and all but guarantee that climate change will pass that point of no return (if it hasn't already)... if that alone isn't enough to make you suck it up I'm not so sure of your grasp of reality.

Thank "u" for the chuckle.

In a thread that should have been positive, you threw these gems:

• naysayers
• u don't always get what you WISH for
• suck it up
• I'm not so sure of your grasp of reality

Is it any wonder that many of us feel this way about Hillary supporters?

• cheerleaders
• be careful what you WISH for
• times ares changing - suck it up
• We're not so sure of your grasp of reality

I will not vote for Hillary. I really don;'t see that she would be any better then any of the crazies in the other party.


It's attitudes like yours who have turned our party to shit........

It wasn't the "typical look at me" style we've come to expect. It made the point while making us feel like we, whoever we may be, could relate.

I was not a Hillary fan in 2008. She was too negative. But this one strikes the right tone.

I was completely shut off the internet during the release of the video.

Sorry. Is there a link?

It's really excellent

and all the stupid that goes on there.

Great start to a campaign. This is how to beat the GOP.

and maybe that's what she's been spending the time doing since she "retired." She's been learning from PR groups and marketers and politicos what resonates about her and what doesn't. From the tone of this video, she's started the process of making THIS campaign about the people and not about her.

I also liked that she (they) made the point that it was the publics' time, not hers. If she and her people continue to run her campaign like this, she just might have a chance.

However, and I'm sorry this is going to be ageist, I worry about her age. Not because I don't think people her age are capable but I've seen what the first few years in office will do to a President and it ain't pretty.

I'm fired up for the future now! GO Hillary!

The form was excellent

A Repuglican candidate for that party's nomination could have put up the same vignettes of regular people.

The impression I am already getting is that the Clinton campaign is going to avoid specifics on issues as much as possible and hype image and, of course, gender.

What Republican would put a gay couple and a lesbian couple holding hands in their ad?

I figured I'd answer here since they all ran off.

Or you and Kashi can just have waffles.

Lotta research involved in that one, hummm baby!

the video from Florida Bush.
That's all I saw...maybe there was more from CNN, but they seemed to be doing some heavy handed bashing.

I think the money owners of the US have been waiting for this moment and are unleashing their attack.
It's going to be an ugly election cycle, I fear.

been like "TeaNN" since they came on the scene. And, before.

It doesn't surprise me... just more verification.

How y'all doing?

I really liked the message.

Just made my first donation of many to Hillary!

I'm still wary on Hillary and her corporate ties, but if she's the nominee I'll put my faith in her.

time to get into specifics, hammer out positions, etc. But please, let her have one fluffy, feel-good, good folks and families moment. It set the tone. Just makes the Rs (and some on this board) sound like whiners and yeah-butts.

Sid

Although what was even better was the reaction of the naysayers on both sides of the political spectrum.

Popcorn worthy......

But I just now saw the video that Hillary Clinton's campaign put together, and wow, it was done VERY well.
To me, it started out kind of YouTube-wait-for-the-x-to-show-up-to-close-the-ad, but it grabbed my attention pretty quickly, as it began to speak to my situation.
Great job!

I think she has a great team so far.
