We can only guess how debate prep is unfolding in the campaign
camps. CNN says walk throughs will commence shortly. Topically it is a
crap shoot although it is a pretty good guess that Webb, Chafee, and
O'Malley will be concentrating on introducing themselves to viewers who
have never heard of them. When it comes to seizing the moment, however,
the lady in red has already won the day. She did it yesterday.
Hillary
Clinton arrived in Las Vegas, got in a car, and went straight into town
to join a labor rally at Donald Trump's hotel. It seems one other
candidate heard about this demonstration after Hillary had made a an
entrance and a speech and sent a car for people to wave at. We do not
know if that candidate was actually in the car at the moment.
Back
in 2008, when I was promoting Hillary Clinton, one of the things I
remember saying frequently was that she is scary smart and that what we
need is scary smart. That remains true, and what could possibly be
scarier to all comers no matter the party, than this amazing move by
Hillary Clinton? Basically, she can just stand there tonight and smile
graciously. As one commentator put it, she can straighten all their
ties. She won the optics with this.
