For Hillary, it's all about marketing

It truly is.
In fact I can relate to this to a time in history when American's sold snake oil and told that cigarettes were actually healthy.Yup they were and these old ads often used doctors saying they were. This is what we're seeing today with the Hillary campaign, marketing. Is it genius? Yup it is, it truly is because millions have been sold on her despite her record and despite that she is the weaker of the 2 candidates in a general election. In fact, the whole thing reminds me of some of those "As seen on TV" ads.

Despite Hillary voting for cluster bombing, propping up her husbands welfare reform, voting for Iraq, being against a living wage and true universal health care and the host of other things including an ongoing FBI investigation, she gets a pass. What would happen to any of us if we went to a job interview and told our prospective employer we were being investigated by the FBI?

Marketing. It's a powerful tool. It makes people believe that McDonald's > BK > Wendy's. It's advertising and for any of you who watched the tv show "Man Men", you know precisely what I'm talking about.

People mark every day for it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Here are some gems from the past for you all. Yup, that's all it is, marketing. And people eat it up just like the "Shake Weight" which sold millions of units through your tv set. The only difference this time is it's about one certain presidential candidate--HILLARY.
