DUBUQUE, Iowa — If there is a single symbol to sum up the standard Hillary Clinton stump speech, it is, perhaps, the enormous 3D printer she first encountered at a technical training center in Waterloo, Iowa. Mrs. Clinton stumbled upon the printer — the largest in North America — in December while touring Cedar Valley TechWorks. She watched as the contraption molded sand and resin and spit out a two-foot three-dimensional replica of her “H” campaign logo. The director of the job-training program then told Mrs. Clinton that the material was made of discarded corncobs. She was impressed. She was excited. “Oh, come on! Come on!” Mrs. Clinton said, putting a hand on his arm. Now, several weeks later, as Mrs. Clinton tells the story over and over on the stump, she mistakenly puts the 3D printer at a community college in a different city, and in a state that is not Iowa, which may or may not have a 3D printer.

A story about a story. Impressions:
1. What an ordeal we put these candidates through, like doing Europe in 3 days. Is campaigning a test of fire or a running of the gauntlet? Are we trying to build them up or destroy them?
2. Anybody can go all Brian Williams and embroider and embellish and that is true of HC as well as Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. This is not the worst of her misremembered stories.
3. HC has a lot of positive energy and emits positive pleasing words. How much relates to doing the job of president?
4. HC's life is like living in a whirlwind with no time to sit and think and digest. It was like that when she was Secretary of State deciding how to handle her emails.
5. All of the above apply to all the candidates for nomination. Except for Cruz who has only negative energy.
