Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, introducing Obama, as opposed to the opposite...

...was a total and full embrace of Obama and his policies.

In 2010, 2014, Democrats lost because Democrats ran from Obama, literally the best President in my lifetime (objectively).

Hillary Clinton is fully and totally embracing Obama's policies, and tone, if not his policy positions across the board. It's quite unconventional for the leaving President to be introduced by the incoming presumptive nominee, imo. Clinton spent almost the entirety of her speech espousing Obama's philosophy. I've never seen anything like it in my nearly 40 years on this planet. Never.

I'd run him again if I could, and he'd win in a landslide.

If she can bring herself to dump TPP and espouse "The Obama Doctine" she will too.
