Hillary Clinton to Lay Out Economic Vision in New York Speech
New York Times ^ | June 11, 2015 | By AMY CHOZICK

Hillary Rodham Clinton, at a major outdoor rally planned for Saturday, will directly address concerns that have emerged in the early weeks of her candidacy.

It will be held in New York City on an island named for Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the shadow of diverse middle-class neighborhoods. And she will channel her personal hero, Eleanor Roosevelt, in emphasizing women’s and civil rights and her assertion that the Republican Party is out of touch with an increasingly diverse electorate.

Mrs. Clinton has yet to put forth a clear rationale for her candidacy since announcing in a brief online video that she would run for the Democratic nomination.

But the large outdoor event, complete with a marching band and a space for an overflow crowd to watch the speech on giant monitors, must also counteract some signs of decline in Mrs. Clinton’s personal appeal.

Rather than defend attacks on Mrs. Clinton’s trustworthiness, the campaign will seek to turn the trust issue on its head. “But who do you trust more to fight for you when they get in the Oval Office?” the Democratic strategist, Steve Elmendorf, said.

Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter, Chelsea, will appear with her at the rally.

The staging of Saturday’s event has been meticulous. Huma Abedin has taken a lead on planning.

With Chelsea nearby, Mrs. Clinton will remind voters about her years as a working mother and her record of as an advocate for women and children.

“You can become a caricature of how the press has determined who you are,” said Thomas R. Nides, a friend and adviser who worked for Mrs. Clinton at the State Department. “But the good news about Hillary Clinton is that she has a long history of who she is and what she stands for.”

Her vision is to pad her pockets even more.

And Shrillary is unwrapping Slick? Wow, I smell desperation.

Apparently the decision to host this hate-fest at Roosevelt Island (former insane asylum) is supposed to remind folks of FDR and Eleanor. He's been dead for over 70 years, but hey, don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow!

I thought you had to first understand economics before you talked about it.
Unless, of course, you’re talking to people who also lack a clue...

I think that the symbolism and imagery of FDR and Eleanor will go right over the heads of younger voters. They don’t teach history in school the way they used to. Many younger voters don’t even know who FDR was.

Take stuff from white working people and spread it around the ‘hood.

Why does she need an hour long speech to say THAT?

Her vision is playing out in New York.

People are leaving the state in droves due to high taxes and the welfare state.

Crime is thru the roof.

Illegals are treated like royalty.

Jobs don’t exist, fracking is illegal.

The state is dying - thank you Hillary and liberals.

If the GOP were smart, they would highlight these/her failures.

My vision is to be able to buy 73% lean ground beef without worrying it’s going to bust the budget.

A better headline would be to remove these words:
Out Economic Vision in New York Speech

and simply replace them with: Huma after NY Speech

Being an advocate of the destruction of human life in the womb reveals a dark soul.
