[Historic NY]

Walking in, they're leaning toward Sanders. Walking out, it's Clinton. Live, she was "more genuine" than expected.

2. Her support is solid while her opponent's has some play

Who doesn't like to yell, 'Everything should be more fair!'? But when it comes down to executing a plan for fairness, she can't be beaten.

3. The real Hillary can move voters

The made up Hillary that Bernie folks talk about doesn't exist .


She is not running a talking points campaign like other candidates are

One by one........





.............A few minutes later, Clinton’s speech to this crowd of 950 shows how she’s trying to bring Sanders supporters like the Moseses into the fold. Clinton leaves out the grand rhetoric one might expect at a rally this size.

Instead, for 45 minutes, she reflects on the concerns offered up by her audience, displaying seemingly intimate knowledge of everything from the cost of hearing aids, to international climate negotiations.

She spends extra time on the issues where her campaign feels it has an advantage over Sanders, like gun control.

And after a visitor from Liberia took the mic to ask for a photo, Clinton launched into a long story about visiting post-war Liberia to meet the Liberian Congress.

Clinton’s efforts to prove herself to Sanders enthusiasts may be working – at least for Anya Moses and her family. Teeth chattering in the slush outside South Church afterward the event, these three are experiencing some change of heart. They came in preferring Sanders. After the event, Helm says “I’m probably more on the fence now than I was before.”

Anya adds “she seemed more genuine,” explaining “ It wasn’t buzz phrases, she wasn’t just saying ‘this is my platform,’ there actually seemed to have some heart behind it.”.......................

9. Thanks for the report. She knows the issues. Why why why are these elections in the winter?

It'd be so much better in the summer - I just think it's made harder this way. But that is a lovely article, HNY.
