This is a pretty damn good announcement video.
Better than her sitting on the couch in her Washington home in 2008. It hits all the key themes, principles and demographics. The right positive tone. Very good. My only complaint? Her logo. They really needed to contact me for graphics advice.
The logo:
Meh, the logo is growing on me. Second impression in seeing it on the website is better.
… and if she doesn’t win she can take over Fedex.
Your first impression was right: bet you it doesn’t last all the way to New Hampshire.
I don’t love how it point to the right…. What is she trying to say about her position with such a logo?
I take it to mean “moving forward” We Americans read left to right, and visually that arrow symbolizes going forward, whereas a left facing arrow would be going back if you are reading.
I love this video. It is as upbeat and optimistic as the GOP’s candidate are gloomy and fearful.
I also love the way she swipes away the family values issue and makes it much bigger by covering ALL families.
Just so much to like about this as a tone setting first note.
Indeed. I like the video, the tone, the campaign theme. It’s Elizabeth Warren’s campaign so far. So let’s not go nuts over a logo
Yeah, I get it. They are trying to take the focus off of Hillary by giving her only a short cameo appearance in her announcement video.
That’s actually pretty smart. I wondered how they were going to mask the hypocrisy aspect of her real life actions compared to her message, and make the narrative plausible. The only way to do that is to actually leave her out of the campaign…. it’s fantastic !
As usual, Hillary, and the democrats don’t acknowledge the word contradiction as part of the english language. This video shows a hispanic male being enthusiastic about starting his own business. But the video should feature Hillary immediatly scolding this man for trying that, just as she recently falsely told a group at one of her speeches that businesses dont create jobs, governments create jobs. Hillary, name just one accomplishment, not a title, not an activity, not a desire, not a hope, not something you want to be (like our champion), and not something your are going to, or have fought for, just name one positive accomplishment
“the hypocrisy aspect of her real life actions compared to her message”
If you keep saying it enough times it doesn’t magically become true. It just makes you a crank and a bore.
What would be fun would be a printing of Rusty Dils’ greatest predictions. The one I remember best was the 2012 prediction that Romney would carry California.
@puck. I hear you, buddy. But, I’m thinking the other way.
I was totally indifferent to a HRC presidential campaign. She’s too hawkish for me and it’s just another Clinton. I don’t mind her though and I don’t think she’s any more of a dirty liar than all the others. However, after these fucking roaches scurried out from behind the baseboard to bitch about her and to let loose their inner Limbaugh… I have to say… I fucking love the way this is setting up. There’s something about the combination of marginal literacy and apoplectic comments that has the potential to be incredibly entertaining.
The best chance the GOP have is another Bush. L O fucking L. The rest of the Republican field is terrible and has very little chance in a general election. And these worms rehash the same tropes from 15 years ago. This is brilliant.
“If you keep saying it enough times it doesn’t magically become true. It just makes you a crank and a bore.”
How can someone who touts woman’s rights as a key issue , while simultaneously accepting money from countries who are the worst abusers of woman, not be considered a hypocrite?
The real bore is going to be the explanations, manipulations, obfuscations, and the “it depends on what your definition of “is” is”, song and dance that we will have to endure from now until the election.
