"Hillary Clinton, who has spent most of the early campaign touting her virtues as a note-taking listener, had lots and lots to say — and then some more — during her epic 2016 kickoff speech on Roosevelt Island.
Much of it was the expected proto-State of the Union stuff — the entire last half was a policy agenda full of vague specifics (“I will rewrite the tax code so it rewards hard work and investments here at home, not quick trades or stashing profits overseas”) and wonked-out data points geared to justify government investment (“eighty percent of the brain is developed by age three”).
But much of the address — — had the discursive and intimate quality of a Facebook stream, as if Clinton were sending a friend request to the entire Democratic Party and hoping for the best." Politico
