(CNN) —A month after launching Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy, with every moment of her announcement video and reintroduction tour to voters carefully crafted, her campaign team now finds itself consumed by fending off a familiar, yet far more elusive, adversary: The Clinton legacy.
Aides to Clinton still insist she will run the race on her own terms without distraction from whirlwinds of controversy. Yet strategists acknowledge sufficient concern by an erosion of trust and credibility that they are forcefully fighting back. One way is through a new blog, "The Briefing," which is notably not devoted to Clinton's platform for 2016, but rather simply fact-checking attacks against her.
"While we will not be consumed by these kinds of attacks, we will also not let them go unchallenged," John Podesta, the campaign chairman, said in a message intended to allay any worry among supporters. "That's why we are building a new one-stop shop to provide the facts about Hillary Clinton's positions and her record."
It's a key challenge of her candidacy: Shoring up her perceptions of trust and credibility.
The campaign, through its own surveys and focus groups with voters, is closely studying a decline in her approval since she entered the race last month.

I'd love to believe all this will matter, but it won't. Dem voters care little about pesky details like 'trust and credibility.' Mark my words, we (or our children) will be fighting to keep Chelsea Clinton out of office one day as well.
