Affluent grandmother and public speaker Hillary Clinton is looking for a new home to serve as the headquarters for her 2016 presidential campaign, MSNBC reports.
Clinton was initially thought to be eyeing White Plains, N.Y., a few miles down the road from Chappaqua, where she and her husband own a multi-million dollar mansion. But apparently, aides were worried the choice "could contribute to the narrative that Clinton is out of touch."
Therefore, in order to counter that narrative, Team Clinton is said to be considering setting up shop in the down-to-earth American hub of Brooklyn. Aides believe inhabiting a trendy locale—one that epitomizes the urban hipster gentrification millennial liberals love to decry in theory but embrace in practice—could give the 67-year-old’s campaign operation a "youthful feel." The Hill asks: "Can Brooklyn cool rub off on Hillary?"
Clinton is also reportedly considering another New York City borough—Queens—as the site of her campaign headquarters. Though not immune to the wave of hipster gentrification sweeping our nation’s cities, Queens has a reputation for being more solidly working- and middle-class, and is, generally speaking, less weird than Brooklyn. Clinton, who literally wrote a (failed) book about making Hard Choices, has another difficult decision on her hands.
What will it be?
Queens?
Or Brooklyn?
Queens?
Or Brooklyn?
