Yeah, she seems to be employing the Obama strategy of exciting and energizing voters. It seems to be working initially. Its a matter of staying power. Can she keep this up for 3 months and will the message stay fresh that long.
It’s important to note that this will be her ninth election. Granted, there are differences (she’s got to run on a broader platform, appeal to a more diverse electorate, and so on), but she clearly knows how to campaign. Barring major gaffes or the dreaded ‘October surprise’, I don’t foresee enthusiasm for the Not Trump ticket waning. Especially in an abbreviated campaign season.
