Clinton’s position is that things will never change? Talk about s straw man. ---

Plus I still say she would never have made the concessions to Iran that John Kerry did. There’s a reason there was no deal under Clinton’s watch, and that’s because for all her faults, she’s STRONG. ---

In the printed speech that was released, does he ever get into the details of what his plans actually are to create these millions of jobs and “restore law and order”, because so far all I hear is layer upon layer of bluster. ---

He is for the most part sticking to the leaked speech. And it is seriously cramping his style. You just know he wants drop a rapist immigrant line in here somewhere. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Perfectly acceptable hyperbole. She is the ultimate status quo candidate, nothing wrong with beating that into the ground. That, not her personal faults, is what will destroy her in the end if anything does. It’s hard to think of Obama (and Clinton) as status quo when they’ve faced an obstructionist congress throughout most of his presidency. He has only been able to accomplish a tiny percent of what he otherwise could have. ---

Enacting Democratic policies from the 1972 wishlist is not change. Change means changing politics, changing the system, not using the system to pass your favored mainstream policies. That’s called “status quo”. ---
