"Clinton has even started to signal that she is looking past her own primary debates-another sign".

These comments are probably right. Hillary has been smacking the Republicans hard lately.


For the most part-I do not like the tone of this article although I do acknowledge they are right about Hillary changing course somewhat. Nor do I appreciate the video it opens with (why they included it is beyond me since the thesis of the article is on Hillary smacking Republicans (not the Tea Party taking down Hillary)


PS--I did not play the video -only looked at the title of it-that was enough for me!





Clinton bypasses Dem challengers to focus attacks on Republicans:

A tea party original on how to take down Hillary Clinton 03:47

Claremont, New Hampshire (CNN)Hillary Clinton has vowed since day one that her campaign will take nothing for granted and stay focused on the Democratic primary.

Recently, however, she has been saying -- and signaling -- something different.



............The fact that Clinton has called Walker, Rubio and Bush out by name is noteworthy given she has yet to mention Sanders or Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley in any speeches or responses to questions about them -- despite sharing a stage with the candidates last month.

Clinton has even started to signal that she is looking past her own primary debates, another sign she is steadily urging Democrats to begin thinking of her as the party standard-bearer who has the strength to stand up to Republicans.

"I am so looking forward to debating whomever emerges from their [the GOP] process," Clinton said Monday at an event in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The refrain is something Clinton likely wouldn't have said shorty after she launched her campaign in April, when her aides and advisers went to great lengths to tamp down on talk of a Democratic coronation. At nearly every turn early in the campaign, Clinton and her advisers looked to assure voters that the campaign was not a march toward the nomination and that Clinton would "fight for every vote" in the primary.
