In a bid to boost her post-convention momentum, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton latched onto two ideas her campaign believes will finally put her over the top.
One idea is to appoint outgoing President Obama to the first Supreme Court vacancy available. "One of the things that has got to be depressing a lot of Americans is the prospect of losing the talents of the most extraordinary man to have ever held the presidency," Hillary observed. "While term limits may force him out of his current position the nation could retain his services for decades if we can get him on the Supreme Court."
"I think I can say with a high degree of confidence that there is no way my opponent would be able to promise to appoint President Obama to the Court," she added. "So, every voter who would like to see Obama continue as one of the key lawmakers in our government knows what to do to make this happen."
A second big idea is to raise taxes on the middle class. Hillary tried mentioning this idea in a speech in Iowa this week and received roars of approval from the crowd. Rally attendee Laqueena Leech heartily endorsed the idea. "The super rich will find a way to dodge taxes,' she argued. "But a lot of those who call themselves middle class still have a lot more than they need. Getting them to share some of it with folks like me by providing free health care, free schooling, and other free stuff is a fair and practical way to redistribute the wealth of this country."
"It's individuals like Ms. Leech who are the real backbone of the Democratic Party," said campaign manager Robbie Mook. "If we can lock up that vote we'll get the landslide mandate we need to create a whole new way of life for everyone in our society."
