Like her or love her, this ad is sheer Democratic brilliance--a cavalcade of diverse Americans from the most diverse political party in America. Hillary spends about ten seconds on camera--she lets Americans do the talking for her. I know there are going to be missteps, and we're going to see plenty of Wall Street/Centrist/Third Way Hillary, but for today, as I watched I have to admit the only thought I had was, "You know, this is a Democrat I could happily vote for."
I noticed that Reince Priebus, Chaiman of the Republican National Committee, said this week that Clinton was a good person for the republicans to run against.
No, she isn't.
The only Democrat that would be worse for them would be Elizabeth Warren. Period. Clinton has been a First Lady, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State. You would have to go back to Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey in 1968 to find a candidate for the Presidency of the United States who was as qualified as Hillary Clinton. And there is nothing that unites Democrats (even those who aren't all that fond of the Clintons) more than republicans with their chickenshit potshots and conspiracy theories concerning Bill and Hillary.
In other words, welcome to their nightmare.
Peace,
