CNN commentator: Bernie says, DREAM. Hillary says, "DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN."

I don't watch much TV so I'm afraid I don't know the name of the man who said this, a young African American.

But I thought he put it so well.

She should put that on campaign materials, if it isn't already.

revealed Bill was a natural, and she has to work at it.

Hillary also revealed as Secretary of State, she often thought this was it. No expectation of running. People encouraged her to.

There is this cultivated narrative that the "Clinton machine" is Machiavellian-plotting where every detail of their lives is calculated and mechanized, craven for power.

When, in fact, they really do seem to stumble through life like the rest of us!

She has the best opportunity to shatter that largest of all glass ceilings - the culmination of a lifetime of work - and all those around her say, "Now is the time!"

I wish people would recognize just how simple and honest this all really is!

A woman in her generation wouldn't have been plotting to become President herself, no matter how well qualified -- that was an idea that grew over the decades.
