Cheering Crowd Greets HRC in Springfield, MA this morning

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History was transformed into a Hillary Clinton rally venue Monday morning, just ahead of Super Tuesday.

Taking the stage in front of a cheering crowd at around 9:45, Clinton was introduced by Mayor Domenic Sarno and was accompanied by Congressman Richard Neal. The former Secretary of State said that she was honored to be introduced by Sarno, as she said Springfield is a city “on the way back up.” In her appeal to western Massachusetts voters, she also referenced the Colonial Theater in Pittsfield, which was restored while she was the First Lady.

She also reiterated a theme of her victory speech in South Carolina over the weekend, saying that she doesn’t thin America ever stopped being great; a shot at Republican front-runner Donald Trump, whose campaign theme has been “Make America Great Again.”

For much of the speech, Clinton touched on major campaign issues such as tax policy, drawing contrast with Republicans who she said were selling “snake oil” with promises of tax cuts. On women’s health, she said that she would continue to support abortion rights, as well as Planned Parenthood, which many Republicans want to defund.

6. Some reaction to the rally...

The crowd, packed in shoulder to shoulder underneath a pair of early 1900s airplanes suspended from the museum ceiling, seemed to approve of the Clinton message.

“Dynamic rally, she spoke to what I think we all want in the future,” said Chicopee resident Ray Blair, who said Clinton’s experience as Secretary of State is a big reason why he is supporting her. “It’s about the middle class, it’s about equal rights for everybody. She truly is a progressive and probably the most competent candidate on both sides as far as I’m concerned.
