Hillary Clinton spoke just 94 words in her presidential announcement video, but she managed to send five important messages about her coming presidential campaign.
First, Clinton indicated she believes 2016 will be another election about the economy. “Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” Clinton said. “Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion — so you can do more than just get by — you can get ahead.” Contrary to the argument that 2016 could be a foreign policy election, Clinton’s kickoff video contained no clues that the speaker is a former secretary of state or that we live in a dangerous world.
