AWESOME speech by Hillary to canvassers in Henderson, NV. Just great!




This lady is a TENACIOUS FIGHTER, taking on the RePUKElicans damn hard, and offering specifics on using MIDDLE CLASS ECONOMICS to create better, higher-paying jobs right now.

Yes, "Progressive means MAKING REAL PROGRESS," and Hillary Clinton has done that her whole life.

We need a FIGHTER who will BASH THE CRAP out of the RePUKElicans.

4. Ah, I see her "Big Banks with Fine Print" shtick has become a regular part of her speeches now.

That's where she claims she's going to break up the big banks, while cleverly inserting a disclaimer in there, so she'll be prepared to reverse herself should she get elected:

14:01 "If we broke up the big banks tomorrow--and I will--if they deserve it, if they pose a systemic risk--I will, would that end racism?"

Here's the truth: She won't. Anyone who understands the issue and truly wants to remedy it KNOWS the big banks--bigger now than when they were bailed out last time--pose a systemic risk. That systemic risk isn't a question, nor will it evaporate in the next year. Hillary Clinton, who never met a big bank speaking fee that she didn't like, wouldn't even be talking about the issue if Bernie Sanders wasn't running.

More dishonest pandering.

18. What a cheap, drive-by remark that was, RBInMaine.

How about addressing my post, instead of delivering nothing but a sneer?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it YOU who couldn't stand Hillary Clinton in 2008, who published a FULL-CAPS post on here about how you couldn't stand her?

against the broken record, Johnny one-note Sanders -- and without even mentioning his name.

9. Looks like a crowd of 300 to 400.

The rally was held in a Nevada union hall, a moderately-sized building, so it was smallish by design. I think the Clinton Campaign is being careful to avoid larger venues because HRC's drawing power with the general public just isn't that great and they can't risk the optics of rows and rows of empty seats.

By contrast, on the same day as your photo of Hillary above, Bernie Sanders was speaking to a crowd of more than 18,000 at the Colorado Convention Center.

Pretty telling, I think.
