Thursday on MSNBC’s “NewsNation,” Politico’s Roger Simon offered his evaluation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign rollout.

According to Simon, it was much improved from her first effort in 2008.

“It was a good week,” Simon said. “She, through a careful attempt to shape her image, she also tried to appear to be the spontaneous candidate who would just leap in a van and drive 1,000 miles to Iowa. I think she came off as warmer, much warmer and likable than last time she ran. I would give her high marks for this trip.”
