Is Hillary Clinton running from her record and “experience” already?
In a new web ad, Clinton focuses on “climate change,” and seeks to make her plea to voters by focusing on her personal traits, not what she’s done to supposedly prepare herself for the presidency.
“Future generations will look back and wonder ‘what were we thinking? How could be possibly be so irresponsible?’
“I’m just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain. And I know what is happening in the world is going to have a big effect on my daughter and especially on my granddaughter,” she says.
Clinton ridicules the Republican candidates for president in the ad titled, “Stand for Reality.”
“It’s hard to believe there are people running for president who refuse to accept the settled science of climate change — who would rather remind us they’re not scientists than listen to those who are,” Hillary says in the ad while quotes from her Republican rivals scroll across the screen.
“You don’t have to be a scientist to take on this urgent challenge that threatens us all. You just have to be willing to act.”
Hillary claims on “Day 1” of being president, she’ll set two goals:
- Ensure we hit a target of half a billion solar panels by the end of her first term.
- Set a 10-year goal of generating enough renewable energy to power “every single” home in America.
She doesn’t say how she’ll actually do that – or how many Solyndras she’ll spend tax dollars on – but promises “over the coming months I’ll lay out an agenda to meet the climate challenge and make America the world’s clean energy superpower.”
She warns, “We’re all going to have to do our part, but that’s who we are as Americans.”
Hillary’s ad comes on the heels of her statement last week saying that people should not vote for her because she’s a woman. But vote “on the merits. And I think one of the merits is, I am a woman,” according to a reporter at BuzzFeed.
