Now that Hillary Clinton is 99% certain to be the Democratic nominee by virtue of her sweep yesterday, it’s time to look forward and pivot to the general election and comes out guns a blazin’ against your enemy and mine, Donald J Dumpf. We’ve already seen what kind of campaign Dumpf is going to run, wholly negative, insulting, degrading, dehumanizing and the attacks on Hillary will not be any different. Dumpf only knows one way, and that’s gutter politics. Hillary’s stragedy must be two-fold. 1, Keep on message, positive, upbeat, contrast your positions with Dumpf, and 2, defend yourself against the incessant attacks that are sure to come, not only from Dumpf, but also the conservative media. Also, we in the progressive movement MUST be ready to help her by countering all the misinformation coming from the GOP.
Hillary’s speech last night hit all the themes that are essential to her winning in November. Keeping the economy rolling, while also keeping us safe from threats around the world. Her experience in both foreign and domestic policy, and the way Washington works, will help her immeasurably as the campaign goes on. Dumpf has no clue about anything related to politics and Hillary has a great opportunity to pin him down on a number of things he’s just not qualified to do.
I supported Hillary Clinton in 2008, and was very disappointed that she lost. I was happy to support Barack Obama in the end, and he has been a great president, but now it’s Hillary’s time. Time to pivot away from the campaign against Bernie, who has been nothing short of fantastic in his own right, and start concentrating on November. We have an election to win, starting now!!!
