    From the little I've read, she seems to have her intentions on creating substantial systemic change versus meandering around. She appears to have good intuition on when to fight and when to back down.

    Yes. She's a show horse, but extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her space.
    Bc it's an image in an optics driven election. That photo embodies what many (mostly republicans and some independents/conservative dems) fear about "a third Obama term"

    It's just galvinzing, an instant mailer. This convention was threading satisfying the Bernie bros while also making a broader stake in the general. I think they mostly hit all their objectives but this particular moment just struck me as unnecessary. Approval rating aside, I think a lot of Americans have an instinctive sense of "fairness" and -- coupled with some legitimate gripes with the last eight years -- are reluctant to keep Dems in the White House. Just a hunch

    something that has been painfully clear these past couple days - Bill is a much more talented politician than hillary. Much better liar.

    Hasn't she already attached herself to Obama long ago? She made it clear that she is going to try to carry out Obama's legacy. I thought she made it obvious she was going to try to piggy back off of Obama's policies and platform in the debates when she was vigorously defending Obama:

    “I want to follow up on something having to do with leadership, because, you know, today Senator Sanders said that President Obama failed the presidential leadership test. And this is not the first time that he has criticized President Obama. In the past he has called him weak. He has called him a disappointment. He wrote a forward for a book that basically argued voters should have buyers’ remorse when it comes to President Obama’s leadership and legacy. And I just couldn’t disagree more with those kinds of comments."

    Running as obama's third term might actually turn out to be a good thing for hillary
