Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton accused four potential GOP presidential rivals by name of being "scared of letting citizens have their say" as she called Thursday for every American to automatically be registered to vote. Clinton told an audience at the historically black Texas Southern University that she supports the concept of signing every American up to vote as soon as they're eligible at age 18, unless they specifically opt out. She called for expanded access to polling places, keeping them open for at least 20 days and offering voting hours on evenings and weekends. For the first time in her campaign,...

... Mrs. Clinton lacks some of the extraordinary gifts for connection and empathy that her husband possesses, and the round-table events that have characterized her early campaign can feel stage-managed. But even these settings are producing revealing moments, as Mrs. Clinton finds herself far from the world of international diplomacy and scrambling to re-educate herself about the nation she hopes to lead. A lot has changed since Mrs. Clinton left domestic politics to become the secretary of state: Student debt has ballooned, access to credit has tightened, and the cause of income inequality has taken on a forceful momentum. Ever...

Hillary Clinton supporters can now don a “pantsuit tee” inspired by one of her signature looks. The “everyday pantsuit tee” went on sale Tuesday in the 2016 Democratic candidate’s just-launched online campaign store. The $30 bright red shirt brings “a whole new meaning to casual Friday,” according to the product description. Fine print on the page points out: “Pantsuit bottoms not included.”

Hillary Clinton made another display of solidarity this week with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community by penning a beautiful letter to the lesbian couple featured in her campaign announcement video. Kassie Thornton and Christy Spitzer opened their mailbox this week to discover the letter from Clinton, which thanked the pair for their involvement in the video and for their involvement with the lives and struggles of queer youth.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, is coming to South Carolina on May 27, a campaign official said Tuesday. No details are available on a place or time for Clinton’s visit — her first stop in the Palmetto State since announcing her White House bid a month ago. The visit also will be the first time Clinton has come to South Carolina since her 2008 presidential campaign, a campaign official confirmed.

No one knows how Hillary Clinton will do as president, if she gets the chance. But we do know she is probably the best qualified presidential candidate ever, at least when it comes to checking off relevant boxes. This comes up today because Joseph Epstein, a writer for the Weekly Standard, claimed she would be an "affirmative-action" president. Let's go through her resume:

The House Select Committee on Benghazi is asking former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham to testify in two upcoming public hearings, one to be held during the week of May 18 on her use of a private email system while serving as the nation’s top diplomat, and another to be held by June 18 specifically on the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Libya. “With her cooperation and that of the State Department and administration, Secretary Clinton could be done with the Benghazi Committee before the Fourth of July,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican and...

Hillary Decimated by Palin in Today’s Poll Palin Wins Hands Down The results of today’s poll are: 1. Palin 79% 2. Neither 14% 3. Clinton 7%

She even campaigned as "Hillary" during her 2000 race for senate. Now that Hillary is officially in the running, prepare to start hearing the s-word. Don’t like her politics? Sexist! Disagree with her positions? Sexist! Still have issues with Benghazi? Sexist!

 Sarah Palin Politician · Hmmm, as people all over the country are reminding each other, this Hillary Scooby-Doo Tour thing sure looks familiar. We're flattered the liberals think the idea is really keen! Since it's ‪#‎ThrowbackThursday‬, it's also pretty keen to thank the democrats for taking a page out of our playbook and also to share the picturesque, sincere, no-media "One Nation" RV trek of ours a few years ago. From way up North in the natural resource-rich state of Alaska down to the inspirational, loud and patriotic Rolling Thunder Rally in DC to a calm clambake on a cool New...

The word from on high is out at the Democratic Underground. Despite the previous misgivings from many if not most of the DUer's about Hillary Clinton and her massive war chest fattened by corporate capitalist and shadowy foreign donations, they must be absorbed by the Hillary Borg. And to emphasize the point, the DU leader and co-founder, Skinner aka David Allen, posted a picture (above) of himself holding a Chipotle burrito and Hillary logo with this message: "So, I had this inexplicable craving for Chipotle today..."Yes, there are still 8 months left until the caucuses and primaries begin but Skinner has...

As recently as a year ago, Hillary Clinton was sparring with a public radio host about her position on same-sex marriage, defending her past reticence to discuss the issue and falling well short of full-throated support. Now, in a markedly new position, Clinton is offering just that, calling gay marriage a right afforded by the Constitution. "Hillary Clinton supports marriage equality and hopes the Supreme Court will come down on the side of same-sex couples being guaranteed that constitutional right," said Adrienne Elrod, a Clinton spokeswoman, in a statement. This is an entirely new position for Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is making campaign appearances in Iowa under extremely controlled conditions, and during one event she spoke of commerce:

Students at Iowa’s Kirkwood Community College were apparently on ‘lockdown’ if their classes were along Hillary Clinton’s walking path when she visited their campus Tuesday. Jennifer Jacobs        ✔ @JenniferJJacobs Organizers told us that the hallway where Clinton enters would be locked down. It apparently affecting the classrooms along her path. 2:36 PM - 14 Apr 2015

Sexist words, according to the group, include: “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over confident,” “secretive,” will do anything to win,” “represents the past,” and “out of touch.” “You are on notice that we will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism,” the group reportedly wrote her.

Don’t expect a gold mine of emails on Hillary’s private account. Why not? Because she doesn’t know how to type. That’s right. She writes everything out in longhand. Really. Anyone who has spent time in meetings with her knows about her endless yellow pads. So her emails will most likely turn out to be very short and quick. She wouldn’t spend a lot of time pecking out long letters. No way. That’s why the Benghazi Committee needs to also look very closely at the emails on private accounts that Hillary’s closest aides, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, maintained. Anything more...

Undaunted by an email scandal and congressional investigation, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton exuded wholehearted confidence Monday that she’ll win the White House as she publicly mused about hires for her administration. Speaking at a policy roundtable at a liberal Washington think tank, Mrs. Clinton hinted at a future job offer for Compton, California, Mayor Aja Brown. “Don’t be surprised if you get a call,” Mrs. Clinton said after praising the Democratic mayor’s anti-gang programs.“Maybe we’ll start not too far from here in a beautiful domed building, where we’ll get everybody in the same room and start that...

Editor's note: Bob Morrison coauthored this column.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of Congress on this day in 1941. Looking stern and resolute, the President wore a black armband, as if to memorialize the thousands of U.S. sailors, Marines, Army and Coast Guard personnel who had been killed and wounded the day before in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The President stood before the hushed Members of Congress and spoke these words of determination and strength: Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly...

It's what every young child with political aspirations wants, but unfortunately, "Hillary: The Coloring Book" won't be available in time for Christmas. Yep, you read that right. There's a Hillary Clinton coloring book, which comes out on Jan. 13 at Amazon, courtesy of Ulysses Press. Unlike "Ted Cruz Saves America," Clinton doesn't get the superhero treatment, but instead, has a heavy dose of pantsuits, ready to be finished off by your young artists.

Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton said she learned all she needed to know about Sen. Mary Landrieu by watching her work to get funding for New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Clinton recalled she and Landrieu's experience in the U.S. Senate together during a get-out-the-vote rally at the Sugar Mill in New Orleans on Saturday. She touted Landrieu's leadership and how she prioritized Louisiana's women and families while urging the crowd to vote Tuesday. Clinton and Landrieu served in the Senate together from 2001-2009. Clinton said her greatest memories of Landrieu came in the aftermath of Katrina. She remembered Landrieu...
