LET'S GET OUT THOSE SIXTIES GUITARS – AT 9:51 A.M. ET:   Hillary Clinton, whose honesty might be found by the Hubble Telescope on a clear day, is turning to "love" as a campaign theme.  Let's get into the attic and get down those tie-dyed jeans.  LSD anyone?  From AP:

URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) -- Hillary Clinton had just finished detailing the dangers of terrorism, recalling tough calls in the White House situation room as secretary of state and lashing out at her Republican rivals for threatening the safety of Americans.

But when an Iowa man broke into her riff with a question about how the country could confront a new wave of hate and fear, her response sounded less like that of a commander in chief than of a soothing self-help guru. "We've got to do everything we can to weed out hate and plant love and kindness," she told a crowd of several hundred.

The lovey-dovey message seems surprising coming from a Washington veteran so battle-hardened that she often cites Eleanor Roosevelt's mantra about women in public life needing "skin like a rhinoceros." But as she grapples with Donald Trump's prominence in the Republican race, she's embraced a little love and kindness as a near-constant refrain.

COMMENT:  She'll say anything, and there's a good chance she'll be elected.  She's right out of the 60s, and has never changed.
