Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign launch was meant to present a different side of Hillary — a softer, more humble, less power-hungry version of the candidate. The “Scoobie” van road trip to Iowa portrayed Hillary as the everywoman, interested only in You.

Hillary was trying to shift the public’s attention away from her scandal-ridden days in Arkansas and as first lady, her Wall Street connections, the Clinton Foundation’s questionable fundraising and her role as diplomatic field general for a disastrous foreign policy. Clinton’s campaign not only wanted to leave the old Hillary behind, but to distance her from President Obama as well.
