U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reflected on her religious faith on Thursday during the first of a series of speeches her campaign said would focus on her values and vision rather than those of Republican opponent Donald Trump.

The shift comes as opinion polls tighten between Clinton, the former secretary of state and U.S. senator, and Trump, a New York businessman, ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton has focused many of her public remarks on criticism of Trump, including his provocative comments on illegal immigrants, Muslims and women. Trump has criticized Clinton's record in public office and questioned her honesty and qualifications for the White House.

But the Clinton campaign acknowledged she had to spend more time focusing her remarks on herself so voters could see the "aspirational" vision she hopes to enact if she becomes the first woman elected U.S. president....

Oh, great! Another “re-introduction.” A “new” Hillary.

The more people see of her, the less they like her.

“aspirational”? Sounds like something you do to somebody who isn’t able to breathe.

What is she going to do differently than Obama, double down on Marxism while burning the original copy of the Constitution on Live TV?

I've seen all the possible versions of Hillary that I care to see. A re-introduction? Are they crazy?

She's been rightfully targeted as a filthy liar. That just doesn't wash off.

Shifting the focus on herself will reinforce people’s negative opinions of her. This should backfire big time.

Too late Hildabeast, it’s too late. And it won’t work, AS you have no redeeming qualities, so why bring attention to yourself? It’s too late.

U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reflected on her religious faith on Thursday

Reflected on her decades in the Church of Satan?

Clinton is a life-long communist and cop hater. Her closest adviser associates with 9/11 financiers.

Hillary Clinton is a repulsive, foul, autocratic, avaricious liar. A scheming tyrant.

Trump is able to shift attention to himself at will. When Clinton focuses attention on herself it is accidental because it is something hidden coming to light.
