"Make America Intelligent and Sane Again!"
Hillary has been criticized, among many things, for not having a punchy, one-liner that defines her campaign. I have one: "Make America Intelligent and Sane Again!"
But beyond one-liners, the most daunting task facing Hillary, assuming of course that she wins--which seems very likely--is what she can do to heal the rift that threatens to plunge us into an even deeper cultural war, one from which we may never recover.
For a starter, she needs to travel weekly to the Hill to meet with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. They should not travel to her. That sends the wrong signal.
Much more important, she needs to appoint prominent Republicans to major Cabinet posts. Given their heavy criticism, a Republican as The Head off Veterans Affairs makes perfect sense. More significantly, given the even more intense criticism and bitter opposition to the Affordable Care Act, appointing a "sensible" Republican as the Head of Health and Human Services also makes sense. By "sensible," I mean someone who wants to make good health care affordable and accessible to all, and not just rip the Affordable Care Act to shreds. Because it's so daunting is precisely why it needs to be done.
Finally, I don't know what to call it, but we desperately need to foster dialogue through a nation-wide series of associations, clubs, forums, etc. that will bring us together by discussing what we share in common, however little it may be.
In sum, we need to "Make America Intelligent and Sane Again!"
