Nothing but platitudes and a lot of talk about herself.

No plans at all about what she is going to do.

It's an empty speech.

Did you know that? lol, yes! Citizens United was about HILLARY CLINTON!

You can't make this stuff up. She is delusional.

But the case wasn't about her.

Of course, despite what she said tonight, she is on both sides of Citizens United: she is against it when she speechifies, but she is for it when it comes to having a SuperPAC.

Interesting ... on MSNBC both Chris Matthews and Chris Hayes also said her concession speech was devoid of substance.

The fact that someone went after Clinton has ZERO to do with whether she's being influenced by big donations.

Too much baggage.

for her, being in the position she's in tonight.

How many ways can you say "I just got my head handed to me, but we're going on"?
