Keeping Up with Hillary Clinton ... Enthusiasm, Stamina, and Trust at the Fore

Yesterday in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton participated in a forum on gun violence in Milwaukee, rallied voters in La Crosse, toured a technical college, and visited a brewery, also in La Crosse.  Hillary never forgets the people who labor unseen to make our days safe and comfortable - that includes those keeping "Happy Hour" happy.

From there, Hillary hit the trail again, this time back home to New York for what we are certain will be a rousing homecoming rally this morning at the legendary Apollo Theater on 125th Street in Harlem.

Hillary's event schedules, not to mention her four years of daily schedules as secretary of state, fly in the face of a fairy tale one of the three Republican candidates has repeatedly tried to spin that Hillary lacks the stamina required of a POTUS.  These attempts have met with the same failure as his efforts to spark chants of "USA" at his campaign rallies.  That same chant has erupted spontaneously and enthusiastically recently at Hillary's speeches after victories in FL, NC, and AZ without Hillary's prompting. The same Republican front-runner, who boasts of the strength to take out ISIS, whines perpetually about Megyn Kelly bullying him and says his campaign manager was rightfully protecting him from an assault by Michelle Fields, formerly of Breitbart.

Last night, all three remaining Republican candidates rescinded their loyalty pledges to support their party's nominee. Let's remember that these three folks expect Americans to put them on a podium on the Capitol steps to take the oath of office!  How good is their word?  Any of them?

Bernie Sanders also has recently waffled on whether he would support a Hillary Clinton candidacy.
We can point to verifiable evidence of Hillary's trustworthiness on this and many issues. Hillary has always said she would back her party's nominee, and has a history of having done so.  She has never waffled. Let me share, with those of you who are new to Hillary this cycle, the email we received from her on June 27, 2008 after she suspended her campaign.

Dear Friend,
On February 8, in Unity, New Hampshire, 107 people voted for me, and 107 people voted for Senator Barack Obama.
Today, Barack and I were in Unity to celebrate a unified Democratic Party focused on electing him the next president. I was proud to stand with him today, and I will do whatever I can to help his campaign between now and November.
Senator McCain and the Republicans may have hoped that we wouldn't join forces like this. They may have wished that we wouldn't stand united to fight this battle with everything we've got.
But I've got news for them: We are one party; we are one America; and we are not going to rest until we take back our country and put it once again on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress in the 21st century.
Click here to watch the video of today's unity rally in Unity, NH.
Sincerely,
Hillary
Immediately after this rally, Hillary hit the trail for the Obama/Biden ticket and campaigned her heart out.  She lost some supporters along the way.  Not all of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits" agreed with her wholehearted support of her former opponent, but I pointed out then and do again now, that Hillary Clinton is a woman of her word.  Her plans are carefully crafted, intersectional, and pragmatic.  She will not promise what she cannot deliver, but when she promises, you can count on her to deliver.

On that note, Hillary is the one making the policy speeches on specific issues and policy plans while the other remaining four give boilerplate stump speeches.  There is a difference between a policy speech and a stump speech.  Hillary's speech on the subject of the Supreme Court this week is but one example.

Please feel free to share this with those less familiar with Hillary Clinton than we are.
