Sorry, no Scooby Doo-over for Hillary

SORRY, NO SCOOBY DOO-OVER FOR HILLARY

"It’s not America’s fault that Hillary Clinton decided to launch her campaign on a security camera in a Chipotle in Ohio. So why should she be entitled to subject the country to her do-over?

Dogged by scandal, Clinton opted to launch her second presidential campaign from behind the tinted windows of a Secret Service van. And for two months she has persisted with a bubble wrapped, phony campaign.

Now, much of political press is giving her lavish coverage for the kind of kickoff event that normal presidential candidates hold. But at the same time we are strenuously warned that nothing of substance will be discussed.

The big scoop, reported in some embarrassingly gushy tones, is that Clinton will re-frame her candidacy as an homage to her mother’s struggles. But even that is not new. When Clinton was trying to stave off defeat in Iowa’s 2008 caucuses, she deployed the exact message that will be the theme of her re-re-launch. Seen as out of touch and entitled by voters, Clinton put her mother in a TV ad. The only difference now is that Clinton is able to add the word “grandmother” to the script." Politico
