2016 Postmortem

The Hillary Clinton we saw late last night at the Iowa Democratic Partys Jefferson Jackson Dinner was the Hillary we knew was there, underneath the overly-managed image. This Hillary was authentic, confident, funny, and found her own style of cool at times dropping into a conversational tone that rings true. These moments really resonated.
The crowd welcomed her to the stage with a deafening roar, the Hillary people spiritedly waving their blue light-sabers.
The 2016 Democratic candidate for president started off by unifying Democrats, Did any of you see our debate in Las Vegas? You know, when Republicans debate, they compete to insult each other, demean women, and they double down on trickle-down. Actually, it is reality TV, with a cast of characters who dont care much about actual reality.
But theres a big difference. When we Democrats debate, you see something, the former Senator said, giving Democrats exactly what they crave unity, issues debates, and civility. You see us tackling the hard issues, looking for solutions to our biggest challenges facing our families and our countries, how are we going to raise wages and create more good jobs, how will we respond to climate change and lift up our economy by investing in clean energy, how will we make college affordable and get parents the paid leave they need, how will we, working with our teachers and our families, help our kids get ready to succeed in school. And how are we going to rein in Wall Street and lift up main street, and how much longer can we wait to stand up to the gun lobby and keep our kids and our communities safe in America.

I love it when someone else says the way I feel and attacks Republicans using nothing more than facts.
Clinton brought up other uncomfortable facts for Republicans, And even though they hate it when I say this, recessions happen four times more frequently under Republican presidents. So we cannot afford to go back to the Republicans failed policies.
She took out the pundits and political opponents claims easily with three sentences, Now, Im not running for my husbands third term, and Im not running for Barack Obamas third term. Im running for my first term. And Im running as a proud Democrat.

The law abiding are not subject to deportation.
Is she not watching the news? This is stupid politics, and worse public policy.
