For her first campaign stop in Wisconsin, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton plans to rally her supporters at a Thursday evening "Women for Hillary" event at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Her campaign said Clinton "will discuss her record of fighting for women and families," including her plans to protect funding for Planned Parenthood and fight Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare.

Clinton is also expected to stress her support for equal pay for women, and say she will fight for all workers to receive paid leave, whether it be to care for a new baby or a sick relative.

The event is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. on the UW-Milwaukee campus............

13. Funny, I'm called a misogynist for something the Clinton campaign is actually doing.

She’s also aiming to make a personal connection with women by using a marketing campaign that will offer regular subscriptions for home deliveries of some of Clinton’s favorite household items and branded products, according to Jesse Ferguson, the campaign’s spokesman.

Don't like it? Take it up with Hillary, for this stupid idea wasn't mine

[azmom]

29. She needs to fire the person who

Came up with that idea.

[arcane1]

30. Agreed. It reminded me of something the Romney campaign would try

NOT a good comparison

[bigworld]

41. That is really, really bizarre.

[riversedge]

16. It was a sexist post and should have been hidden. This is 2015 and Democrats should

be beyond such crap.

[Agschmid]

17. See above.

Not sexist if it's actually happening.

[arcane1]

27. I probably should've put part of it in quotes, since it was a copy/paste job.

Oh well. At least the jury knew what I was talking about

[arcane1]

19. Exactly. The Clinton campaign should know better than that. n/t

[LiberalArkie]

22. At least Hill isn't commenting to the women about staying home making cookies.

But she did have a good cookie recipe.


Edit: left out an n't

2. Also-->Ellen Degeneres announced her support for Hillary Clinton!

6. Ellen is awesome.

I encourage Hillary supporters to go to Ellen's FB page and write something nice before the anti-Hillary internet crowd gums it up with crap like they did Howard Dean's.

[riversedge]

23. yes,, they are are

good at that. It is shameful

[mpcamb]

18. Ah, Hil. Smell the money.

And shun the issues.

[riversedge]

24. Hillary talks about the issues every time she is out have

a town hall. Just like Bernie does. they both talk issues dear to them on the stump.

[mpcamb]

28. Sorry. I don't buy it.

She moves in an over-caculated way and responds only when cornered.

Really. Can you say she's taken the lead on any of these issues??

The evils of super political action committees. (Sanders proudly doesn't have one.)
The "disastrous" Citizens United v. FEC decision.
The disappearing middle class.
The "incredible ... uncontrollable greed" of the billionaire class.
The real unemployment rate.
Black unemployment.
Youth unemployment.
Workers' pay.
A $15 an hour minimum wage.
"Our gay brothers and sisters."
Paid maternity leave.
A trillion-dollar jobs program.
Opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
The fight against big banks.
The Koch Brothers.
American oligarchy.
Public funding of campaigns.
Republican voter suppression.
Free college tuition.
Student debt relief.
Climate change.
Single-payer healthcare.
Ending institutional racism.
Opposing the war in Iraq.
Avoiding another war in the Middle East.
Veterans' care

She's jumped in where she had to. Don't call that leadership.

[riversedge]

31. Seems you need to catch up on what Hillary talks about and is

proposing. But you can do your own homework.

[mpcamb]

35. Or you reply to the laundry list of problems above with what she's proposed.

Hey, I'm not shilling for any candidate.

There's work to be done and her tepid solutions don't cut it.

[L0oniX]

46. XL? TPP?

[silenttigersong]

34. Is That quote from Ellen?

Just wondering.I like Ellen,but I have turned off the TV talk shows.Thats why I am asking .I did not know Ellen was a Centrist Dem.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

37. I always thought Elen was more politically aware than that.

Right all across the board? She doesn't really know much about Hillary.

[Lychee2]

38. Hillary seems more popular among gays than Bernie.

I'm not sure why this is. Hillary was against gay marriage until 2013.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/06/hillary-clintons-gay-marriage-problem/372717/
So her track record isn't that great. Does Bernie talk about gay issues?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

40. I'm not sure why, either. Bernie has a 100% rating on GLBT civil rights issues.

The thrust of Sanders's campaign thus far — like his political career as the mayor of Burlington, Vt., 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the past seven in the U.S. Senate — has focused on supporting working-class Americans through elevated taxes on the wealthy and correcting income inequality "which is now reaching obscene levels," he told the AP.

But Sanders has also been a steadfast and reliable supporter of LGBT equality, supporting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act when it passed the Senate in 2013 and even calling on President Obama to evolve already and support marriage equality in 2011. He's a cosponsor of the federal LGBT-inclusive Student Non-Discrimination Act and has consistently voted against bills seeking to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage, while cosponsoring a bill that would repeal the remaining portions of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. Sanders has a perfect score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign's latest Congressional Equality Index.

Sanders used Twitter to highlight that long-standing support Monday, just one day before the Supreme Court heard arguments on marriage equality. That comment included an overt reference to Clinton — albeit to the former president and not the current presidential hopeful:

You can't claim to support equality and not support equal rights. #SCOTUSmarriage pic.twitter.com/iBcZHzfxxk

[Lychee2]

42. So he's really been active in supporting gay rights.

I didn't realize how active until I read your post. Bernie's campaign should do more to get this message out to the gay community.

7. Must subdivide the electorate! Must make each demographic find themselves pitted against the other.

Bernie wins by multiplication and addition, Hillary wins by division (or so she thinks).

[L0oniX]

8. So when is the national "Men for Bernie" event?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

36. I caught your post out of the corner of my eye - thankfully

I was about to say "What would the media do if Bernie had a "Men for Bernie" rally?

This is sexist if you ask me, and anyone that votes for her just because she's a woman is sexist too.

[Lychee2]

39. The only time there can be a men's group--

is for the purpose of analyzing, apologizing and "curing" themselves of their tendency to mistreat women and children. Anything else is "sexist." I think that's because men are seen as "privileged," so they don't have the right to complain about their treatment as men.

This is not intended as a criticism of autonomous women's political groups.

[L0oniX]

44. So men against women for Hillary is a no no?

[Lychee2]

45. THAT is absolutely out. :) nt

MILWAUKEE (AP) -

25. It says that the event is over, it doesn't come up (google helped me find another, though)

that being said, if Karen Tumulty didn't update her twitter post (and she didn't)

this falls under the category of journalistic malpractice.

I don't expect much, even from the Washington Post.....but that is pretty bad.

[riversedge]

33. Yes, it is from ealier today but I again was able to just clink on the

forward arrow and it starts. It has a few opening speakers so be patient. The crowd is load and enthusiastic. Good luck (this one is from earlier today when she was in Columbus OHIO.
