Related: About this forumIn final pitch, Hillary Clinton emphasizes experience, effectiveness
With less than a week to go before the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton is making her closing argument: That she can actually get the job done as president.
"The American people can't afford to wait for ideas that sound good on paper but will never make it in the real world," she says in a new television ad released Wednesday by her campaign. "We can make real progress right now."
The ad, one of two new spots that will run in Iowa this week, echoes the message that Clinton has been working to perfect as she has criss-crossed the state to turn out the vote. It's a departure from the sharp, if sometimes veiled, language she has used to describe her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, at campaign stops as recently as last week. Instead, the ad focuses inward, on her own experience over decades of public service.
It also seeks to emphasize the qualities that many Iowans have named as the most important factor in their decision to support her.

In the article, some of Bernie Sanders supporters are switching to Hillary Clinton because they want someone who has the experience and effectiveness.

There are not that many naive people. Even if you believe "experience" & "effectiveness" are important (I don't), do they believe Clinton is going work her charm with Republican congress? The only thing she will be effective in pushing through is what oligarchy deem as priority, and Republicans allow (e.g TPP, Social Cuts, Further trade policies, Wars).

Like her campaign?
It must be tough to peddle that with a straight face.

(69,725 posts)10. One of her best arguments--Experience does count-on day one-she is ready.
...........Ryan McDaniel, 18, said he was planning to caucus for Sanders until he saw Clinton make this case in person in Marshalltown on Tuesday night.
"I'm realizing she does have a lot more experience with foreign policy," said McDaniel, whose mother, Maria, a longtime Clinton supporter, encouraged him to attend the event in their town. "She still has a lot more experience with domestic policy, because she's been a senator before. She has both sides of the coin of being a president."...........

Good plan to go with the experienced candidate, with any luck we'll get another Nixon.

(46,585 posts)14. I meant what I wrote and it's correct.
Effecting - to cause something to happen or bring about.
