Liberal, Conservative, Both?

Hello hello hello again, today well look at two articles having to do with Hillary Clinton (DUHH).  One will be a more liberal article talking about a more liberal subject and the other will be a conservative article.  To be honest this was a hard blog for me and I don't really know why so bear with me okay!

As many of you guys (and gals) know most liberals support "same-sex" marriage.  According to the article "Hillary has a new position on same sex marriage" Hillary Clinton supports same sex marriage too.  However she didn't always but then the question is why does it matter if she changed her opinion?.  I personally think this article is showing how liberal Hillary actually is when it comes to this topic and how she able to adapt.  In the article you will see a lot back-lashing on Hillary for "changing" her view on same sex marriage, they even go as far to say that Hillary only changed her views for votes.  Hillary defends herself  though (you go girl).

Here is the link ->    ( www.cnn.com/2015/04/15/politics/hillary-clinton-same-sex-marriage )

Now lets look at the article "Remember when Hillary Clinton was against gay marriage".  In this article you will see that their are quotes back when Hillary was saying things like "‘I believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman.”  This article is different then the other one because it highlights things that Hillary said.  I think this article is trying to show the  conservative  side of Hillary that we don't really see on the first article.

ads, Ads, ADS!!!

Welcome back to the Hillary Clinton Post!  Where we learn all about the amazing Hillary!  So this week I will be talking about a few ADs Hillary has made for the 2016 Presidential election - I feel it is important to talk about the now instead of the past because well, Hillary is GOING to be the next president.  Let's get on with it then shall we?

I got this AD off of YouTube, here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N708P-A45D0

It is called "Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign Announcement (OFFICIAL)"

This ad is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds long and it starts off with 'normal' people talking about what they are getting ready to do.  You have a mother talking about her daughter going to start school, a man who is about to start his business.  There is another mother who is talking about getting out there and going back to work, their are families talking about how they are expecting their first child.  Taking a step back and looking as this ad you will see that it consist of people about to DO SOMETHING new, or doing something they have not done in a while.  In short this ad is about change and new beginnings.

This is a positive ad, because it relates to the people.  It relates to 'us' because well some of 'us' are also starting new beginnings.  That could be starting a new job or career, starting a family the list is endless.  I like how this ad ends with Hillary saying "I'm getting ready to do something too, I'm running for President".  Hillary then tells us that she wants to be the champion and she understands that when families are strong then America is strong and it's OUR TIME.  The 2 strategies that stand out throughout the whole ad is 1.Family, and 2. it is relatable.  America as a whole value families and like things they can relate to.  So I think she really hit the nail on the head with this ad.  I thought it was also a good thing that she was involved in the ad but also included normal day-to-day people for most of her ad, and the people she included were all diverse men and women with different backgrounds which makes this ad personal to the audience.

My seconf ad is a little more personal towards Hillary Clinton her is the link -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdKsA4q-FFA It is called "Family Strong/ Hillary Clinton"

This ad is about a minute long and it starts off talking about Hillary Clinton's mother -  Dorothy.  (In case you do not know her mother passed away in 2011 on November 1). [Newyorktimes.com]  It shows how and why Hillary does the things she does and why her passion for running is so strong.  Her mother Dorothy, had a huge impact on Hillary's life ultimately creating the path Hillary is walking now.  In my opinion I think that this ad gives us some light as to why Hillary values families, and children so much and that is why she presses those issues.  To me this as makes her values genuine.  What I mean by that is her background and personal experience make her truly want to make a difference in America.

This as bleeds into Hillary's resume and ends with the same sentence the last ad did, "When families are strong America is strong".  I personally think this is both an image and issue as.  Why?  Well it does have her image included in the video and it also covers all the issues Hillary supports.  As I mentioned above her mother had a huge impact on her life and she passed away in November of 2011.  With November being just a few weeks away I think that also inspired Hillary to do this kind of 'personal' ad.  It was a way to say "Mom I love you and even though you are not physically here with me I know your with me and watching my every step.  I will never forget you and how you are the reason why I do thins and the things I do".

Polls Polls and more Polls!

Hello all!!! This week I will be talking about POLLS!  I know, I know, who even cares about these things!?!?  Well polls have an important role when it comes to the big question “WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”.  Polls give the general public “us” information about what confidante is in the lead and things of that nature.

Anyway enough about polls and on to the juicy information.  As many of you may know I am TEAM HILLARY 100 percent, and due to my extensive research I have found out that she is ahead in the polls! Not someone who is climbing the hill, or jumping through hoops, or stranded at the bottom of the mountain but a front-runner!!!  (let’s take a moment of silence and appreciate this EXCELLENT INFORMATION).  You got to see it to believe it?? Lucky you!  I have included two Pollster Trends so that you are able to see who is in the lead.  As you can see from the pictures I have provided Hillary is doing pretty well!  These polls both show Hillary in the lead and that’s pretty much all that matters.  #TeamHillary2016                               

41.6 Clinton (+16.4) 25.2 Sanders 18.9 Biden 0.8 Webb 0.7 O’Malley 0.2 Chafee

Hillary Clinton 43.9% Bernie Sanders 24.8% Joe Biden 19.6% Martin O’Malley 1.2% Jim Webb 0.9% Lincoln Chafee 0.0%

So then I guess my next questions would be why?  Why is she polling so well?  Well she is relate-able to the people of the United States, ‘we’ like her.  She has good morals and wants to make changes and despite the negative feedback and back lash she was getting in the past people still want her to be the President.

Polls are so important right now because they let you know where your candidate of choice stands in the election and if they even have a chance or should just drop now.  Polls give the people and opportunity to change the numbers, nothing moves faster than word of mouth for example is Hillary’s polls were doing poorly I would be posting things all over my social media and telling my friends to tell their friends to vote for her.

I personally think that Hillary has a chance of becoming the next President of the United States.  I think that she may need to keep a close eye on Bernie Saunders because he might be having an uprising when it comes to the polls but as of now Hillary is standing pretty strong.  My only negative critic about Mrs. Hillary is that she needs to get involved!  Her polls have been known to be inconsistent, and as much as I hate to say it if she doesn’t remain consistent someone might take the “HIGH” lead she has away.  I think Hillary needs to make a new headline that will blow people away and make her polls rise.  As long as Hillary’s polls are going up and down her chances will remain the same – not as strong as they could be but far from weak.

DEBATE ANALYSIS

Hello and welcome back to the Hillary Clinton Post, if you have never read one of my blogs before I want to thank you for tuning in and reading about the amazing Hillary.  If you have been keeping up and reading my blogs every week you'll know that I tend to write in a more relaxed down to earth tone, one that hopefully keeps my audience (you guys) interested and coming back! Let’s began shall we?  Today you will be reading about an analysis for lack of better words that I did on one of Hillary’s debates.  In this particular blog, I will talk about her performance and what I thought she did well or did poorly.  I will also give my personal opinion as to what she needs to work on.  I will touch on advice that I would give her if I were helping in the Hillary campaign or if I were her campaign adviser.  Finally to bring it all around I will also touch on the issues that I think Hillary needs to address more during her current debates. (Note: the link to my debate is at the bottom)

                            

The debate I decided to analysis was on YouTube and called the Debate: Bernie Sanders vs. Hillary Clinton. I felt that for the purposes of my blog I needed to find a debate/speech that was current so I could you know convince YOU GUYS to be #teamHILLARY2016! The video I chose to use for this blog is lengthy so as a heads up I put the times as to when I fast-forwarded to the parts where Hillary was speaking.

 The part I watched first started at 8:16 and took place on 26 August, 2015.  In this part of the clip she is talking about her friend, the Vice President of the United States -Joe Biden.  I think she presented this speech very well she always talks in a loud and clear way so that her audience can understand her.  In my opinion I do not think she did anything poorly, I feel that everything she was saying about Joe Biden was genuine and I liked how she always brought the conversation back to herself.  I think that Hillary presented herself in a very classy way not giving to much information about Joe Biden out there to the press but enough to keep them content, she stated if she did not know something instead of making assumptions which was good.  Hillary always brought the topic back to herself and specified what she was going to do as far as her campaign and what she thought was right. 

Now fast forward to 23:18 “Civil Right and Racism” this took place on 16 August, 2015.  In this segment Hillary is talking about the black lives matter issue and how black lives should matter.  To me this topic is extremely important because I am viewed as a black woman in American so the fact that Hillary cares about black individuals and lets the world know is a big deal.  She explains to the audience that yes we need to have better policing practices and more accountability yes but she also mentions that it is a mistake if we aren’t honest enough to say that we have systemic issues of race and justice in our country that are troubling for people.  In this speech she goes back in time to the civil right movement and says how disappointed at how little progress we have made since then.  I think it is a strength that Hillary is able to relate to not only women in the United States but people of color.  She shows empathy towards people and puts herself out there by telling storied to try to relate to “us”.  She tells the audience that she will lay out a plan and bring people together when she is President because we have come too far to go back now.

Overall I think that Hillary does a phenomenal job when presenting a speech/debate.  If I was working for her campaign there is nothing I would change she understands the racial issues we are having here and now in 2015 and how important it is to address those issues because if we don’t history will repeat itself.  She understands that white males get treated differently than black males as far as the law and there have been studies to prove that claim.  Hillary may be older than everyone running but she is aware of the issues we are having in our country. Hillary knows what needs to be changed and has a plan as to how to do it, she understand that we are still fighting for equality (women, moms, people of color) and she wants to change that and I honestly believe that she is very capable of making the United States a better country. #TeamHillary2016
