Objective: Win 2016 Democratic nomination for president of the United States
  • Continue life of public service, heeding the call of my party and my country
  • Win
  • Obliterate that highest, hardest glass ceiling, sending its shards sprinkling around us like liberation confetti
  • Stop Republicans from killing national healthcare in the crib
  • Income inequality bad
  • Think Democrat: college loans, child care, safe pensions, secure entitlements
  • Don’t think Bill: welfare “reform,” Doma, don’t-ask-don’t-tell, Rwanda
  • Fix Syria, Libya, Iran and all the other foreign policy messes of this administration
