Hillary Clinton works the charm angle with congressional Democrats

Source: Paul Kane, Washington Post, msn.com

Hillary Rodham Clinton has left no doubt about the type of campaign she expects to run with fellow Democrats in 2016.

“I want to be onstage with you, and I want you onstage with me,” the Democratic presidential front-runner told senators during a recent visit to the Capitol.

The former secretary of state conveyed that she intends to run a highly coordinated campaign with congressional Democrats, particularly in seven states with key Senate races that are also battlegrounds in the presidential campaign.

It's good to be a Democrat!

The immediate goal is to run campaigns in key states — such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin — where Clinton and Democratic candidates can draft off of one another in a manner that could deliver her the presidency along with a Democratic majority in the Senate.

Get her agenda passed. With 115 endorsements coming from Congressional members already the stage is getting set for the work to begin.

It won't arrive via sleigh.

Fortunately, Hillary is a workaholic.

Or take back the United States of America!

Now that's a goal we can and should get behind! Together!

Every Democrat and progressive and liberal out there!
