Hillary Clinton Owns the Bronx!

A flurry of candidates are converging on the upper borough this week, but Hillary Clinton knows where the heart of the Bronx is - Yankee Stadium!  And that is where she showed up this morning for a presser and appearance with Borough President Rubén Díaz. (His dad, Rubén Díaz Sr., is an evangelical Pentecostal minister, a New York State Senator, and a Ted Cruz supporter.) They spoke to the press and local residents gathered to see her.

From there, they boarded 4 train and took a short ride.  Imagine the surprise of the riders!

Díaz told reporters that the Bronx knows Hillary and her work and is solidly behind her.

Then the whole crew went to the subway station and hopped on.  Nick Merrill and Huma Abedin, who rides the subway all the time, included.

But she got in and on the platform.

New Yorkers are ready for anything any time.  This woman seized the moment.  She was ready for a selfie with Hillary.

This dad was overjoyed to introduce Hillary to his little daughter.  You can't see it in the stills, but the baby waved at Hillary.

And on they went to their next destination with Hillary greeting well-wishers.
