Hillary Clinton rounded up her first campaign swing with an op-ed in a top Iowa newspaper in which she emphasized her campaign’s commitments to regular Americans and echoed the progressive platform she’s been touting on the campaign trail.
“Americans have come back from tough economic times. But the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” she wrote in The Des Moines Register.
“Americans are working harder and getting more productive, but they aren't seeing the reward in their paychecks. So it's time to reshuffle the deck and deal a better hand to the middle class.”
Clinton’s op-ed summarized the main message of her campaign by mentioning stories from a handful of Iowans she met with by name. That strategy seeks to take the emphasis off her political celebrity in favor of more personalized discussions with voters.
“When I came to Iowa, I wanted to do something a little different. No big speeches or rallies. Just talking directly with everyday Iowans,” she wrote.
“Because this campaign isn't going to be about me, it's going to be about Iowans and people across our country who are ready for a better future.”
“You are the reason I got into this race and I will work my heart out to earn your votes.”
She also reemphasized her four “big fights,” the campaign pillars that she began to tease on the trip, which include bolstering the economy, strengthening families, reforming campaign finance laws, and protecting the country from threats.
After her announcement in early April, she immediately took off for Iowa and then New Hampshire for a series of smaller-scale meetings with voters. Clinton is expected to hold a larger campaign kickoff in the next few months.
Pity the Register newspaper doesn’t contain a laugh track on the editorial page.

The 13 words you can’t write about Hillary Clinton anymor "......words are now off the table: "polarizing," "calculating," "disingenuous," "insincere," "ambitious," "inevitable," "entitled," "over-confident," "secretive," "will do anything to win," "represents the past," and "out of touch." .....
Candidate Clinton dons a chapeau to impress the locals in Iowa...
The deck gets 'stacked' by government regulations.
Those who can, do. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't do or teach, get the government to create laws or regulations to give them an advantage.
“It’s beem a long time coming”
we could see the day approaching....years ago..DECADES Ago..
there will be dancing in the streets ANY DAY NOW.
Hillary will require surrogates to do her speaking for her and a pen to write her propaganda for at least the next year. No one likes her, no one wants her.
Whenever she is actually seen or heard, her poll numbers fall under the floor. She knows that.
Besides, she reportedly has a full time doctor on her campaign. Between her eye, her head and her hip she is not the same Hillary who faced off against Obama in 2008.
-— But the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” she wrote in The Des Moines Register. -—
Seriously?
If you were a viable candidate, it would HAVE to be about you, you ignorant Hildebitch. Trying to be the stealth candidate with that wide ass, ugly face and trail of corruption is pure denial of reality.
Not to worry....
The article (Hillary) states these 4 as the biggies - now. The list will be long (like Bill Clinton’s pardon list when the left the WH) to appeal to everyone.
“She also reemphasized her four “big fights,” the campaign pillars that she began to tease on the trip, which include bolstering the economy, strengthening families, reforming campaign finance laws, and protecting the country from threats.”
The Four Big Fights
Sounds like something Madame Mao would say...
If I was Bubba I would double up on the food tasters.
Hillary! would love to play the grieving widow about right now.
HARF! Or is it Grubered?

” The Four Big Fights”
Notice
“campaign finance reform” - I got mine, you won’t get yours.
And
“protecting the country from threats” - Benghazi and 4 dead Americans (which included a U.S. ambassador) springs to mind.
There. Fixed.
Very good work.
See 15 by CW Interesting. $$rat jumps ship
Greatest photo, EVER!
Only 60’s style woman who thinks looking like a hag is a statement for high intelligence. Seriously.
Only at campaign time someone has to insist she bathe, shampoo and dress with just a pinch of current fashion.
She prefers to look like a box car in those awful boucle suits. Someone needs to tell her, she is not Jacqueline Kennedy in boucle, no matter how hard she tries.
