Hillary Clinton Draws On Her Mother's Story Of Resilience In First TV Ads For 2016

"SNIP..................


One ad tells the story of Clinton’s mother, Dorothy Rodham, who was abandoned as a child and sent to live with abusive grandparents. At age 14, Rodham left her grandparents’ home and went to work as a nanny. Through the kindness of her employer and teachers, she was able to overcome the obstacles of her childhood.



The other ad illustrates how her mother’s difficult childhood inspired Clinton to focus her public service career on children and family issues, from her work as an attorney at the Children’s Defense Fund, to her fight for health care reform as First Lady.



“My mom’s life and what she went through are big reasons why standing up for kids and families became such a big part of my life,” Clinton says in the ad.



Clinton has previously said that she plans to make her mother’s story a central part of her campaign. When she officially launched her campaign in New York City in June, she framed her speech around her mother’s story and her career as an advocate for children and families.

1. These are great ads

[delrem]

2. Beautiful Oprah/Hallmark moments,

agreeably piquant and with no bitter aftertaste,
capturing a product that's already been sold,
and treasured.

I'm so mellow, now.

3. Electrical banana is bound to be the very next phase. Nt.

5. A bit of free bud, first, would be my next step on that plan,

delivered to a room full of Hillary supporters at a $2700 a plate fundraising dinner.
Then

I'm just mad about Hillary,
A-hillary's mad about me
I'm-a just mad about Hillary
She's just mad about me

They call it chicken dinner (ex pensive)
They call it chicken dinner (ex pensive)
They call it chicken dinner

7. Haha!

Chicken sounds terrific.

4. ? That Hillary is a great woman, from a great family is something being sold? Does emotion

only belong in ads selling products on the TV where it directly benefits corporations. No families aloud? Cause that is the biggest threat to the GOP - love.

6. I'm all mellow, so

8. Kick

[bigtree]

9. nice introductory ad

...it's very relatable and inspiring. Her mom was a very indomitable woman; evidently a strong influence in Hillary's own accomplished life.
