Hillary to Voters: “Trust Me!”
Sounds just like Obama’s “Hope and Change”.
Hillary Clinton will use an outdoor rally in NYC on Saturday to push for voters to do the one things pollsters have been saying the American public is reluctant to do, trust her. The New York Times reports that Clinton will try to brush aside concerns that she is out of touch with the average American family as she rallies at an outdoor event.
It will be held in New York City on an island named for Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the shadow of diverse middle-class neighborhoods, as Mrs. Clinton tries to evoke the legacy of the New Deal and lay out her vision for a federal government substantially engaged in lifting American families that feel economically insecure and increasingly left behind.
And she will channel her personal hero, Eleanor Roosevelt, in emphasizing women’s and civil rights and her assertion that the Republican Party is out of touch with an increasingly diverse electorate. Her plans were described by people briefed on the speech who were not authorized to discuss it for attribution before the campaign officially released details.
A recent CNN poll found that 57% thought that Clinton was not honest or trustworthy.
The Times quotes former Obama operative David Axelrod as saying,”She has to articulate an authentic, compelling rationale for her candidacy, a cause and vision that is larger than her own ambitions.”
Despite being the only serious Democratic contender, Clinton appears to be failing to connect with voters.
