For this assignment, I have reviewed an editorial posted on National Review named The Democrats’ Clinton Problem (Heather Wilhelm, March 9th 2017). In this article, the author outlined the Democratic party's "obsession" with the Clinton family and why she thinks they should add variety into their candidates. It is very apparent as to whom the author's message is aimed to as well as her opinions on both the Republican and the Democratic candidates in this most recent election; it's clear that this message was intended for Democratic supporters to convince them to not support Hillary or anyone else in the Clinton family when one is running.

In the editorial, the author claims that Hillary and her family have been the center of attention in the Democratic party as of late, and backs it up with articles from other news sources speaking only positively about Hillary and her daughter Chelsea, who has been said to be running for office in the future as well. The author states that Hillary and the Democrats got too full of themselves during the election, and ended up making Trump look like the better choice. The article also said that despite the awards and media support the family receives, very few actually support her. While some of the claims the writer makes are biased, the point still stands relatively reasonable- the Democratic needs to open up to other candidates if they want to stand a chance. People have caught on to Hillary and her kin and no longer care about them; it's for the best that Hillary gets dropped.
