Hillary Clinton unveiled her new campaign slogan, “stronger together,” on Meet the Press Sunday and most the panelists at the roundtable weren’t too enthusiastic about it. Many felt the slogan was too defensive and provided no drive for supporters, but New York Times Correspondent Helene Cooper had nothing but praise for it. “I want to put some love in for Hillary's new slogan,” she stated, “[It] goes back to kind of what we saw in 2008 and when president Obama was talking about “yes we can.”

“Stronger together” could be seen as an attempt to wrangle up Bernie Sanders supporters who will stay home in November or defect to Donald Trump. Democrats have been so fearful of a shattered party that many in the liberal media have taken to going after Sanders about his nil chances of winning and the damage he is doing to the party. But the slogan raises new questions, does that also apply Republicans?

If she seriously believes we are stronger together, is she going to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans to implement entitlement reform? How about immigration reform? Is she joining with Republicans to reduce the size of government and respect the constitution?
