Praise for Hillary's foreign policy speech: (Hillary Group)

[DeepModem Mom]

I've never seen online such unanimous praise as the praise I'm seeing on Twitter today for Hillary's speech. It's from ordinary folks and also from pundits and experts. So far, the pundits and experts, across ideological lines, are in agreement: this woman is ready to be President.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called on Congress to authorize a new military action against ISIS in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations Thursday.

Here’s a full transcript of her remarks.

Thank you, Richard. And thanks for the great work that the council does under your leadership. It truly is an important resource for us all.

Fareed, I look forward to having the conversation with you, everyone here at the council, and Mr. Mayor. Thank you very much for being here and for everything you are doing and will do to keep our city safe and strong. I’m very grateful.

I wanted to come here to our city, which has shown such resilience in the face of terrorism, to talk about the events of the past week, and the work we must do together to protect our country and our friends.

When the United States was hit on 9/11, our allies treated that attack against one as an attack against all. Now, it’s our turn to stand in solidarity with France and all of our friends. We cherish the same values. We face the same adversaries. We must share the same determination...................

10. Brilliant as usual. Her words will be resonating for days as the story...

goes on.
Yes, republicans & bernie supporters will twist her words and take them out of context, but most Americans are going to get a chance to hear exactly how she would handle this issue. And most Americans will agree with her and respect her.

So, when is bernie delivering his Game Changing Socialism Speech? I saw him do his usual stump speech at GWU on line. Is he going to be on TV somewhere after that to roll out his big deal???
