Ostensibly Clinton's candidacy is to be a continuation of her boss's eight years. The problem, however, is that for all Obama's iconic status, the president polls well below 50% in approval ratings. He lost both the House and Senate, and the majority of state governorships and legislatures are now Republican, if not solidly conservative.
His signature legacies -- Obamacare, the Iran nuke deal, open borders, and massive deficits -- poll poorly. Is borrowing another $8 trillion Clinton's agenda? Cutting another 25% from defense? No one believes that Obama's liberal boilerplate -- more government regulation, zero interest rates, higher taxes, bigger deficits, smaller defense, more illegal aliens, greater racial hyphenation -- is working.
