Quote:Hillary Clinton rounded up her first campaign swing with an op-ed in a top Iowa newspaper in which she emphasized her campaign’s commitments to regular Americans and echoed the progressive platform she’s been touting on the campaign trail.

“Americans have come back from tough economic times. But the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” she wrote in The Des Moines Register.

“Americans are working harder and getting more productive, but they aren't seeing the reward in their paychecks. So it's time to reshuffle the deck and deal a better hand to the middle class.”

Clinton’s op-ed summarized the main message of her campaign by mentioning stories from a handful of Iowans she met with by name. That strategy seeks to take the emphasis off her political celebrity in favor of more personalized discussions with voters.

“When I came to Iowa, I wanted to do something a little different. No big speeches or rallies. Just talking directly with everyday Iowans,” she wrote.

“Because this campaign isn't going to be about me, it's going to be about Iowans and people across our country who are ready for a better future.”

“You are the reason I got into this race and I will work my heart out to earn your votes.”

She also reemphasized her four “big fights,” the campaign pillars that she began to tease on the trip, which include bolstering the economy, strengthening families, reforming campaign finance laws, and protecting the country from threats.

After her announcement in early April, she immediately took off for Iowa and then New Hampshire for a series of smaller-scale meetings with voters. Clinton is expected to hold a larger campaign kickoff in the next few months.

I certainly hope that Republicans make it about her.

The longer they harp on Clinton, the less time they will have talking about the issues and the more sympathetic the American people will be towards her.

It's not about her, it's about her ovaries.

That why you have a good number of celebrates and democratic talks pulling out "It's time for a woman ..."

You may be right long term but I'm not seeing any sympathy for her right now. Even the liberal media is going after her. You forget the Clintons have a well established pattern of deceit. This is just reminding anyone over 30 of what the Clintons are like i.e. travelgate, whitewater, rosehill law firm, vince foster, web hubble, cattle futures, etc.

Yep, even some libs can see through her. However, they'll conveniently forget all that the closer we get to the election.

It's not about Hillary. It's about quid pro quo, destroyed e-mails, violating federal law, bribery, racketeering, money laundering, treason ...

She's a crazy old lady. She has zero chance of winning and won't be the nominee.
