Jennifer Granholm writes: 10 reasons H.Clinton will fight for Populist and All Americans

I couldn't get the whole title in the subject line.
It is " Off the Top: Ten Reasons Hillary Clinton Will Be a Fighter for Both Populists and All Americans"

HILLARY GROUP POST.....

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-m-granholm/off-the-top-ten-reasons-w_b_6723752.html


I read a blog post on The Huffington Post this week titled "The Case for a Populist Challenger in the Democratic Primaries." While the piece well delineated the differences between Republicans and Democrats, it also falsely suggested a divide within the Democratic Party itself -- specifically between Hillary Clinton and "populist" Democrats. In reality, there is no such divide.

To be a populist means to represent the interests of ordinary Americans -- exactly what Hillary Clinton has been doing her entire life. Ordinary Americans are those who weren't born into wealth or haven't stumbled upon good luck but work hard and are doing the best they can.

As Hillary Clinton likes to say, "talent is universal; opportunity is not." She has devoted her life to expanding opportunity for all Americans. Let me give you 10 reasons Hillary Clinton is the candidate for populist Democrats and all Americans:

1. Hillary Clinton wants to grow the economy from the bottom up, not from the top down. At a speech at the New America Foundation Summit, Hillary said, "Now the empirical evidence tells us that our society is healthiest and our economy grows fastest when people in the middle are working and thriving, and when people at the bottom believe that they can make their way into that broad-based middle."

If the haters could open their minds they would find Hillary has been an advocate for the middle class all if her life. She has been on the lower wage scale, knows it is never easy and wants to lift up our children to a better life. She presented healthcare though it did not make it through she still tried. She has been a strong advocate for women, against the violence against women here and the rest of the world. She is smart and understands the world around her. I am looking forward to her presidency.
