Hillary Clinton made a surprise stop on the campaign trail to make an appearance at BET’s ‘Black Girls Rock’ show in New Jersey on Friday night.

via AP:

The Democratic presidential candidate said black women are “change makers and pathmakers and ground shakers.” She said her life has been changed by strong black women leaders, including Marian Wright Edelman, the president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, the late poet and author Maya Angelou and the late civil rights activist Dorothy Height.

Clinton introduced a video honoring Beverly Bond, the founder of Black Girls Rock.

The Black Girls Rock! show, hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, will air on Tuesday, April 5 at 8P/7C.

The Enemy is the GOP - Hillary and Bernie need to train their sights on that, not each other

The math is the math. Or where I live maths. I have absolutely no patience for either candidate attacking the other right now, on issues OR on character. The evil that pervades the GOP is what should be in the cross hairs, not Hillary or Bernie. Each candidate should be focussing on that and so should we. This election is too important. The world is watching and sees Trump’s rise - everyone outside the US cannot fathom this man or that the American people would elect him! Every day, I encounter kiwis in complete dismay at the notion that Trump would become President. People around the world ARE watching.

Trump speaks right language to right people

For the sake of argument let's assume Donald Trump is, in American parlance, an ass.

So the question is: why is an ass - and not just any old ass but someone widely regarded as a gigantic ass, one of the world's biggest - holding a commanding poll lead over his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination?

"Trump personifies everything the rest of the world despises about America: casual racism, crass materialism, relentless self-aggrandisement, vulgarity on an epic scale. The fact that so many Republicans are comfortable with the thought of this monumentally unqualified man in the Oval Office shows how warped the Party has become."

Paul Thomas, The New Zealand Herald.

Oh and we notice the global threat as well.

The largest newspaper in Arizona just made the case for Hillary Clinton.

One of the most experienced candidates (ever)

This week, she has taken a commanding lead in the Democratic Party primary, and she is almost certain to be her party’s nominee for president of the United States.

More than a turn in the race, this is one of the great achievements in American political history.

Hillary Clinton deserves her due.

Not just because she has risen higher than any woman in American politics, but because she is by far the most experienced candidate of any of those running in either party this year. In fact, she is one of the most experienced people to ever run for president.

Idealism is nice, but realism matters

Clinton will win this race because of qualities she showed as a young woman. While Sanders went off into fantasy land, offering free college to students and a single-payer health-care system, Clinton kept it anchored, proposing subsidized college educationswhile not tossing the entire bill to taxpayers.

GOTV Arizona!

#ImWithHer Fundraiser Featuring Sir Elton John and Katy Perry

Some 6,000 people packed Radio City Music Hall for an "I'm With Her" rally that also featured Andra Day and on-stage appearances by other Clinton supporters, including Oscar-winners Jamie Foxx and Julianne Moore, plus brief remarks by former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton.

Sir Elton John dedicated his son “Still Standing” to Hillary stating: “I cannot wait for Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States.”

“This is a very important year for America,” Mr. John said from behind a grand piano, his sequined blue jacket shimmering under the glow of a spotlight.

“And she’s the only hope you have.” Ny Times

And Perry capping off the evening, singing “Unconditionally.”

“I sing this next song for her because I do believe this woman shows unconditional love,” Perry said of Clinton, who was in the audience. Bill and Chelsea Clinton were in attendance as well; at one point the former President took the stage to proclaim of his wife, “I want you to stay with her. Nominate her!” Billboard

Perry stated —

“I’m not voting for her because she’s a woman; I’m voting for her because she’s the right person for the job.”

Oh yeah — and Hillary Clinton is a badass.

“Thank you, you’re a great amen chorus.”

Hillary saying after her now famous coughing fit while speaking with civil-rights leaders at the National Urban League yesterday.

In a piece by Rembert Browne in New York magazine, the author gives a stirring account of the speech and the audience.

It was that moment of, Oh shit, did Hillary come to play today? I looked down my row, and multiple people had that same goddamn face etched on their faces. She was making points about privilege that minorities always make, but it packed such a different punch — even if President Obama had said it — because she was chastising her own privilege, putting the privilege of whiteness front and center.

I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The tiptoeing had vanished. She wasn’t trying to win everyone’s vote by flying as close to the middle as possible. And even though the room was markedly black, these thoughts were now on her permanent electoral record for all to see. The use of “imagine” was powerful, because it comes with an almost implied,You can’t imagine it, because that shit wouldn’t fly. She was finally just saying it, bluntly. Hearing this, in February, was so much more powerful than any policy plan. Because before many people want to know your plan — or before people will ever truly consider believing in your plan — they want to know that you understand their world.

Here is the video.

Disclaimer — Al Franken is one of my favourite senators (and all around person) and I was thrilled when he endorsed Hillary. And now, because he holds the “Wellstone” seat — he speaks about which candidate would better the Wellstone progressive agenda — it’s Hillary.

And not only does Hillary support progressive ideas, she also supports progressive candidates such as Al — who credits her with pushes him over the edge in his election.

Oops. I’m sure the media and the republicans will spend countless hours on this. Or not. Kerry sent 'secret' email to Clinton from personal account

As a senator, Secretary of State John Kerry sent at least one email to Hillary Clinton from his personal account that has now been classified as secret, the State Department confirmed on Tuesday.

The largely redacted May 19, 2011, email from Kerry — then the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee — “was sent from a non-official account,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday.

Days before the Iowa caucus formally kicks off an increasingly tight race for Democratic presidential nomination, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said Saturday he was finally ready to reveal his pick: Hillary Clinton.

The endorsement from Oregon's senior senator isn't all that surprising. Wyden has previously said he generally supported and liked Clinton — a former secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York — but always stopped short of making things official, saying the time wasn't right.

Hillary Clinton is choosing to highlight the Flint issue and have one of the newly scheduled debates in Flint, MI. Brilliant idea and what an excellent opportunity to highlight this issue and others like it around the country. What a complete contrast to the Republicans and the issues they choose to focus on.

We’ve agreed to an additional debate in NH and are currently in discussions to agree to additional debates – we think one of them should be in Flint,” said Clinton campaign chair John Podesta. “We should use the spotlight of the presidential campaign to keep the focus on Flint, and to lift up the historic underlying issues that Flint and too many other predominantly low income communities of color across America are struggling with every day.
