Bill Clinton to campaign in RI again on Monday
CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (WPRI) Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop in Rhode Islands smallest city on Saturday, urging her supporters to head to the polls in Tuesdays primary while mostly training her fire on the Republican field.
Im so happy to be back here in Rhode Island, Clinton told more than 1,000 supporters gathered in the gym at Central Falls High School. I love this little state. I have so many friends here. She described Rhode Islanders as resilient and hardworking.
In her first local campaign stop since the fall of 2014, Clinton rarely mentioned rival Bernie Sanders but repeatedly criticized GOP hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. She said of Trump: Loose cannons tend to misfire and what we have with him is the loosest of all cannons. And noting recent comments by a top Trump aide that the candidates bombast is in some ways an act, she said: If we buy that, shame on us.
Clinton drew cheers as she discussed her support for higher wages, organized labor, abortion rights, immigration liberalization, the Affordable Care Act, gun restrictions and climate action, with one of the loudest reactions coming after she called for equal pay for women. Members of the Laborers and other unions made their presence felt in the crowd.......................
............... Clintons aides are taking Rhode Island, her campaign announced late Saturday that former President Bill Clinton will return Monday for his second visit this month;........................
...............At the Central Falls rally, Clinton made her entrance by the side of U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, who consistently ranks as Rhode Islands most popular politician in public opinion surveys. Clinton, who served with Reed in the Senate, said he understands as much about national security as anybody in the Congress, and probably nearly anywhere else.
Before Clinton took the stage, a parade of elected officials including Gov. Gina Raimondo, all four members of Congress, Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea and Central Falls Mayor James Diossa urged attendees to vote Tuesday. Gorbea noted voters can cast an emergency ballot on Monday if they cant get out to vote the following day............................

Get ready for war: NY Times "How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk"
As Hillary Clinton makes another run for president, it can be tempting to
view her hardedged rhetoric about the world less as deeply felt core principle
than as calculated political maneuver. But Clintons foreignpolicy instincts are
bred in the bone grounded in cold realism about human nature and what
one aide calls a textbook view of American exceptionalism. It set her apart
from her rivalturnedboss, Barack Obama, who avoided military
entanglements and tried to reconcile Americans to a world in which the United
States was no longer the undisputed hegemon. And it will likely set her apart
from the Republican candidate she meets in the general election. For all their
bluster about bombing the Islamic State into oblivion, neither Donald J.
Trump nor Senator Ted Cruz of Texas have demonstrated anywhere near the
appetite for military engagement abroad that Clinton has.
