|PRDP post| Clinton's "theme" - what's your guess?

[MannyGoldstein]

If Hillary's crazy enough to run for the Presidency (given that her favorability ratings are already heading down significantly, after actual exposure to the public and the total-non-scandal-whose-subject-shall-not-be-mentioned)... What do you think the overarching theme of her campaign will be?

I supect something like Reagan's "morning in America", which would be ironic on multiple levels, but given her track record (love of Wall Street and millitary action) she needs to divert attention to the future (e.g., "a new day with security for the 99%... our children will be able to afford college... &quot

Which would be funny, given her passions. We could have Larry Summers as our Captain Kangaroo.

But, as it's said, nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American People.

Your thoughts?

3. Wow

Where to start (on an adult level)?

I have always thought that anyone who voted Republican was extremely rich or extremely stupid.

I'm on the verge of thinking those same thoughts toward Hillary fans.

I'm looking for a candidate that focuses on domestic policy and steers away from world dominion.

4. We've pretty much seen her theme in the Larry Summers/Center for American Progress report

Short version: "America was booming until Reagan pissed it away. Then President Clinton saved the economy. Did you catch that name? Clinton".

9. Ah yes the name Clinton. I remember a Clinton that supported the Republicons by signing

the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that deregulated the banks and brought about the banker extortion of 2008. Of course not to be outdone another Clinton abandoned Democratic Principles to help the Republicons in 2002 leading to 1 million deaths and lots of other destruction. The Clintons seem to like to help the Republicons.

5. "I am going to raise an insane amount of money".

This is actually her platform. Really. Mantra, bumper sticker, policy, everything.

[Scuba]

6. Yep.

[demwing]

7. "It Takes a Village (of Investment Bankers)" or...

"Building a bridge to the 20th century" or

"It's the 1% Economy, Stupid"

[Enthusiast]

8. Sucks

[rhett o rick]

10. Theme? Howz about "Goldman-Sachs Really Loves You, Honest" nm

13. I really care about the little people

14. cuz who can you vote for?

which is the mantra of the dem party since '92

15. Today is the 70th anniversary of FDR's death

If Hillary were even a moderate Democrat (instead of a Rockefeller Republican) she might have made mention of it - and if she were a Roosevelt kind of Democrat she might have made mention not just of the anniversary but have said it was time to push the FDR's Second Bill of Rights.

I know, sometimes I really let my mind wander too fare into fantasy land.
