Can't wait for the New and Improved Hillary

[SoLeftIAmRight]

she is going to have to do more than change her clothes and hair.

[Cassiopeia]

1. I imagine that staff shakeup rumor

will become more than a rumor over the next few days.

[PatrickforO]

2. No, it's cool! They have a four page memo from her campaign to guide

them through March. There's going to be a staff shakeup, and her message will change. You'll notice the Third Way message that we should fear tax increases was abandoned for the far more populist message she gave tonight - a regular page out of Bernie's book!

The re-tooling should prove entertaining. But, who knows? Maybe the onion skin has been peeled off down to the core and we'll actually see the REAL Clinton.

3. The problem is…

…I think "the real Hillary" is simply "the Hillary that really, really wants to be President," and will take on any persona (temporarily) to achieve that goal.

[840high]

7. +100

[senz]

9. + another 100

[Donkees]

27. She's in Brooklyn right now working on her accent :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Hillary the chameleon. There is no REAL Hillary.

[fun n serious]

4. Arithmetic.

Bernie's fuzzy math does not add up. WE have to do more. We have to get fired up!

[TheBlackAdder]

5. It's tough to fire up on a platform of status quo and defeatism, with a smidge of slow change. nt

[senz]

8. True -- and well said, as always.

[senz]

6. There is nothing "fuzzy" about Bernie's math.

He has clearly laid out the financing for each element of his platform.

Assuming you are actually interested, you can read it here:

[Peace Patriot]

11. fun n serious: what do you mean by "fuzzy math"?

Are you talking about vote counts, delegate counts, superdelegate counts, electoral votes, etc??? (and if so, what does "fuzzy" mean?)

Or the financing of his policies such as free public college tuition?

Your second statement ("WE have to do more. We have to get fired up!&quot makes me think you meant vote counts, delegate counts, etc. But someone below thinks you meant that the math of financing his policy proposals "does not add up."

Could you clarify, please?

[fun n serious]

16. Yes. I'll clarify.

His campaign promises are impossible to keep using any logic. Scholars have gone over and over health care reform. It is not as easy as he makes it seem. A magic wand won't fix congress or the supreme court.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. magic wand.

[Peace Patriot]

24. Impossible? They why should we get "fired up" and "do more"?

Do what? I really don't understand your comment.

Should we get fired up and do more to work out the math? Say, double the small tax he proposes on Wall Street speculations, to pay for free tuition at public colleges, and maybe triple it for books, food, housing? Or, find out why universal health care works so well in Norway, France, England, Canada and other developed countries, and work to amend Bernie's proposals, if necessary, so they DO work as smoothly and as cheaply as in these other countries?

I don't think this is what you want--for Bernie's proposals to work. And if I'm right--you don't--then why did you say, "WE need to do more. We need to get fired up"?

[Warren DeMontague]

10. I predict we will see an uptick of somewhere between 70-80% in the use of "berniebro" in GD-P

don't expect a whole lot of policy changes, though.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

13. I think she will try Hillary R. C. Sanders

...

[fun n serious]

17. Excuse me?! Flash gang signs?

Tell me how flashing gang signs gets black votes please.

[bettyellen]

19. this racist shit is all over DU this week. another thread says her campaign is "fuck white people"

They embolden each other.

[fun n serious]

21. I've noticed.

I thought I had accidentally landed in freeper-land.

[bettyellen]

22. some have obviously given up courting AA votes. Like the bitter "men going it alone" dudes.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. At least it got hidden

30. Unfortunately the "fuck white people" post survived a jury. It's easy to get confused

with all this anger at black voters on display. If you hate it, alert. It matters even if the original jury gave it a pass. This Rovian race baiting should not go unremarked upon. Even if I get alerted on -again- for pointing it out.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Amen!

[bettyellen]

32. I had another poster reply that maybe I would like to buss black people to NH.....

WTFingF? Do they even hear themselves?

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. She will come off as a Mento commerical

With her new ''Fresh maker'' ''Change maker'' commercial

As we notice in her concession speech she is
''the change maker''. We saw that in the last week from Bill

Oh and don't forget the freshmaker commercial came out in 1992 ..... which was ridiculed by everyone

[mhatrw]

23. She's watching "Bulworth" right now. nt

[djean111]

26. Why on earth would anything Hillary says be believable at this point?

She is merely changing her campaign blather.

[Deny and Shred]

28. In her Iowa 'victory' speech

She was promising universal healthcare and debt-free college. Yesterday, she was pledging to crack down on Wall St and pursue tough campaign finance reform. Where did that come from ?

The pragmatic incrementalism is on its way out. Sounding a lot like Sanders is on its way in.

[HereSince1628]

29. It'll be interesting to see how much she becomes more Bernie than Bernie

I'm sure the attempt will be yooge, I expect it to cost her votes if she goes with the fringe hair.
