TOW #25 (Article): Hillary Clinton for President?

In a recent article by CNN, it was announced that Hillary Clinton is announcing her campaign for 2016 president. The interesting thing about the announcement though is that she is posting it on Facebook and Twitter. Instead of having a press conference, Clinton is using social media as a way to communicate. While many people find this as a sign of laziness, others actually like the idea. Clinton is able to reach out to the younger generation who will have a huge say in the upcoming election. Being one of those people myself, I can say with confidence that having someone who is able to reach out to me using my means of communication is a lot easier. I wish I could watch every speech Clinton gives and be there at every crowd rally, but with my schedule, it is near to impossible.  Therefore, I wouldn't view her strategy as lazy but resourceful. As graduating high-schoolers will be able to vote in the 2016 election, she is making the right decision. Another problem that was happening with her campaign is many people view the theme as "women empowerment". The whole idea being "women can be in office too". However, Hillary has been proven to not be the strongest advocate for females. In fact, she is currently involved in a scandal where she takes money from Saudi Arabia, who are known to beat women, through an organization. These types of transactions that are on the books are bound to get her in trouble. As the first possible women president, Clinton needs to be careful of how she is going to set up her campaign. She can't be contradicting her slogan with her current activities. This type of inconsistency will make her lose the election.
