The advisors added Clinton would gradually reveal her platform so as not to overwhelm potential voters.....
Hillary Clinton’s political strategists on Saturday revealed that the former secretary of State will seek the White House as a champion of middle-class prosperity in 2016.
The Associated Press reported that two senior advisers for Clinton’s campaign said she will cast herself as a “tenacious fighter” for average Americans next election cycle.
The pair of operatives spoke anonymously so Clinton could better inform voters herself in the coming weeks. It is heavily rumored she will announce her campaign for the Democratic nomination in a video message Sunday.
AP said Clinton will purportedly borrow from President Obama’s successful 2012 campaign against her. She will present her message as one of economic populism focused on middle-class families.
She will contrast this with Republicans, whom she will argue support the wealthy and elitist.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) are the GOP’s only official White House candidates so far. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will reportedly make his own campaign public on Monday in Miami.
Clinton plans on touring America’s early-voting states after her announcement and directly courting voters. She will initially visit Iowa, the country’s first voting caucus.
The advisors added Clinton would gradually reveal her platform so as not to overwhelm potential voters. They said she will begin with a focus on expanding early childhood education, making college more affordable and increasing economic success for families.
Clinton has long been considered the frontrunner for her party’s coronation. Her strategists said her early plan is not to take that status for granted.
The former first lady will thus avoid charges her nomination is inevitable by working hard for votes. She plans on addressing colleges, day care centers, diners and even private homes to appear approachable to Americans.
Former Govs. Martin O’Malley (Md.) and Jim Webb (Va.) are other possible contenders for Democratic support. Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) have also been floated, though Warren has repeatedly denied she will run.
Clinton served as President Obama’s secretary of State from 2008 to 2013. A major terrorist attack during her tenure killed four Americans on Sept. 11, 2012, at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Former President Bill Clinton brought Hillary into the national eye following his election in 1993. She stood beside her husband as first lady through two terms, lasting until 2001.
Aw, go ahead, Hil. Overwhelm me. Let’s hear your platform -—snicker, snicker.
If Mrs. Bill becomes President the economy will lose that fight.
What a joke. What a huge joke.
She was recently shown giving a speech on how America has a “fun deficit.” We need camps for adults she said. We need to bring people together so we should have red cabins and blue cabins and make them talk to one another...
Orwellian.
LOL, WTF?
In other words, she wants polls at every stage to gauge the effect she's having.
Well, I gotta admit, running as a mean, stupid commie who has failed at everything she has done on her own would probably be a poor strategy.
Translation: She will keep throwing crap against the wall and then expound on whatever seems to stick - thereby "evolving" into what folks want through lip-service (apologies to the dirty-minded for any mental images evoked) instead of being what they want.
It’s true though that the “little guy” can’t absorb many political ideas and certainly not in mass.
The American people are simply too dense to recognize an HRC blunder, and the national media is not going to tell them that such blunders occur.
Today I was in a line at WalMart getting checked out and the checker had on a Hillary button which I thought was aginst policy. Anyway, she wiped her dripping nose with her hand (no kleenex) during the entire time. Typical Hillary voter. I removed and wiped down everything I bought with sani wipes when I got home. Hope those work against “stupid” as well.
Well then, making a speech about multiple issues must be wrong. Cruz and everyone else are out there talking about subject after subject, and the poor little guys just can't absorb all those different ideas. Whereas Hillary will take weeks just to let the little guys get used to the idea that she's running, and then introduce one simple concept at a time so as to not overwhelm the little guys, and why, in a year, she can tell them up to ten whole different concepts!
Go slither back into your hole.
A person Ready for Hillary just can’t wait to tell the world!
You must think the “little guy” is capable of self-government. Jefferson (and it is still his birthday by 45 minutes, thought that too.
You're on the wrong website, punk.
Someone should take up a collection so she can pay her Black Limo driver.
