Hillary’s Race for the White House

By Arnold Ahlert On April 13, 2015  In FrontPage

In an move best described as the ultimate attempt to re-brand a familiar (and quite tired) commodity, Hillary Clinton yesterday announced [1] her intention to run for president of the United States. The announcement was originally scheduled to occur 12 noon EST, but aides revealed [2] a planned delay that was an effort to “build anticipation.” At 3 PM, campaign advisor John Podesta emailed campaign donors and alumni. “I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me – it’s official: Hillary’s running for president,” it stated.
The email was immediately followed by a campaign video posted [3] on social media that attempts to connect with working class Americans, but adds the familiar class-warfare element to mix. Clinton is expected to follow up her announcement with a series of smaller events designed to help her connect with voters, downplaying her celebrity status in process. She is expected to take her campaign on the road to an early voting state such as Iowa next week
Satirical website The Onion deftly lampooned [4] her reasons for running, insisting her campaign slogan is “I deserve this.” Her low-key campaign strategy is best described [5]  by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. “It’s a do-or-die remodeling, like when you put a new stainless steel kitchen in a house that doesn’t sell,” she writes.
The day before her announcement, Clinton’s campaign team put their sincerest foot forward in a memo [6] entitled, “We Are Hillary For America.” “This campaign is not about Hillary Clinton and not about us — it’s about the everyday Americans who are trying to build a better life for themselves and their families,” it states.
The memo also includes several guiding principles about being driven by strategy as opposed to tactics and one-offs, bouncing back from tough days, and fighting for every vote. After that, the boffo ending: “We are guided by Hillary’s bedrock values of hard work, service, fairness, and faith in the American Dream.”
The New York Post enumerated [7] a number of those “bedrock values” leading off with the inherent conflict of interest surrounding the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and the millions of dollars donated to it by foreign entities.
