Hillary Clinton has 31 policy groups on her campaign’s “Issues” page, which outline her policy goals as president.

And, guess what, they’re great!

She is better helped, as a candidate, by improving her positives than increasing Trump’s negatives (he does that well enough on his own).

So why not highlight those positives, night after night, and promote a better sense of the progressive and popular choice that she is? It’s easy enough to do, she’s a great candidate with generally great positions on the issues Americans care about.

For Night 7, we’ll be looking at HIllary Clinton’s plans to make college more affordable for all students. This was an issue discussed by both candidates during the campaign, and so (as with other issues) there may be lingering feelings regarding Clinton’s plan. However, it is clear that is represents an improvement, and a very realizable one, over the current status quo that is failing so many would-be students who have a desire to learn, to train, and to succeed in today’s economic marketplace. It is something worth voting for, this November.

As far as her abilities to handle the challenges, I have always felt she had the toughness and smarts required. She will put together a fantastic team, there are so many great people to choose from. We are at such an important time for our country, still recovering from the disastrous dubya years, and I think enough people have woken up now to make a real difference.

She has so many items on her platform, so it makes sense to break it like that, every day! Also it's exciting!
