Thoughts?

The NBC roundtable kind of panned it, but I like it. I think it offers a positive vision while simultaneously reinforcing Trump's biggest weakness, which is that he's a bigoted pail of scum. Hillary wins when it's a culture war election, but Trump, of late, seems to have been doing a good job shifting the narrative to Hillary's flaws and economic populism. Let's make it about America's core values. This slogan does that, and when the attention is on that she'll win.

I'm sure it was thoroughly focus grouped.

I think it's a good slogan. Reinforces the idea that trump is the candidate of division.

So she ripped off the slogan of the No side in the Scottish referendum.

I suppose it's better than her previous campaign slogan. Did she even have a campaign slogan before?

Not necessarily a direct slogan, but the obvious central theme for months has been "breaking down barriers."

Not sure Bernie Sanders would agree her on that.

Theirs was "Better Together." A minor quibble, but a quibble nonetheless.

That may be so, but reality has always been a challenge for him.

I liked her line in the interview about criticism of her husband's presidency, something along the lines of, "What are they campaigning against, the peace or the prosperity?"

OT: Very good slogan. One of the best moments of her campaign was the South Carolina victory speech, which had a very similar message and was probably the best speech she has given this campaign.

Yeah, this is a good slogan, only problem is it's difficult to chant.  Stron-ger-together?  It fits in well with a lot of different sentences, attacks, and advertisements.  Kind of like her H-with-an-arrow thing, you can slap it on anything.  "Trump talks about strength but divides America, I think we're stronger together."  "Foreign policy.  I want a strong america, and a fundamental part of that is I believe we are stronger together."  "Trump keeps saying these things that alienate and demonize large groups of Americans, because he thinks his strength is all America needs, but I understand that we are stronger together."  etc. etc. etc.
It's a hell of a lot better than "breaking down barriers"... what does that even mean?  All it told me was that she was going to be more concerned with things like the wage gap and Idris Elba not getting an oscar nomination than with things like the economy or foreign policy.

Obviously they have been thinking about this message for a while. Back in April they released an anti-Trump TV commercial titled "Stronger Together" pointing out all the divisive things Trump said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA5ZhyoaJec

...although the commercial itself didn't actually use the phrase 'stronger together' as a tagline. 

It seems like a good slogan or at least phrase to use, but it does seem to be a defensive thing. It is a reaction to Trump more than something about her.

The old slogan was "Forward", right?

Well, that might convince 1 Bernie supporter.

Hint: people aren't supporting Bernie because of useless focus group tested slogans.

All campaign slogans are vapid.
