Former Sec. Clinton”s foreign policy speech yesterday wasn’t targeted at Donald Trump and it wasn’t given for the American people, it’s target was Bernie Sanders and it was for the Democratic primary voters of California. In a brilliant strategic move Hillary was using the presumptive Republican nominee to woo potential Sanders voters in this Tuesdays state primary finale.
Think of the location of the speech, San Diego and think of the timing, it could have been any time probably more appropriate after she crosses the threshold of needed delegates to usher in the general election just 5 days away. But she chose to do it yesterday.
Also think of the topic; Secretary Clinton feels Senator Sanders is most vulnerable in 2 areas, gun control and foreign policy. Trump is already proclaiming Hillary aims to abolish the second ammendment (lyin Donald; he lies, lies, lies….) sorry…so she wants to avoid the image of gun confiscator in chief because we know how safe she likes to play it on the campain trail, so…foreign policy. Bernie is percieved to have shallow foreign policy interest and she is Madame Secretary. So her choice sounds very logical.
Her message: vote for me on Tuesday because I am the serious candidate and to take down Trump we must be serious.
Don’t let the flag drenched backdrop fool ya, yesterdays speech was a California primary campaign event.
