1. thanks much!

[LenaBaby61]

2. THANK YOU!

OP

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Just watched a few minutes of it, but if...

that's the tone she takes through next week, we got it in the bag.

[tallahasseedem]

5. She's on fire!

[joshcryer]

12. It's a g***amn joke.

How the F**K can anyone vote for Trump? It's a joke. Holy s**t.

[forest444]

52. Fear and hatred sell, unfortunately.

Fascists throughout history have always understood that.

We are going to need all hands on deck for this one.

[liberalmuse]

4. Thank you!

This is cathartic after the past week. I needed it!

[Tatiana]

6. She is very smart to use the theme of TEAMWORK to solve problems. Big contrast with Trump.

We are at our best when we work together.

[ismnotwasm]

7. She's hammering it!

Woot!

[Joe the Revelator]

8. You know, I've disliked Clinton for a long time....but in comparison....

there just isn't any comparison. She's the only sanity (aside from Gary Johnson on the other side) out there. She's killing it in this speech.

[Joe the Revelator]

18. Looks like a really good sized crowd....bigger and more into it than anything we saw at the GOP con

[Satch59]

9. Great message...

Attacking Trump's "I alone can fix it" and turning it into the country being a team and working together...

Well done, Madam President!

[Joe the Revelator]

11. I liked the line about 'We fought a revolution so we wouldn't have to have one guy saying he would

fix it alone'.

[Stinky The Clown]

54. That line was the speech's headline and highlight.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. That was actually a really well done shout out to McCain without saying his name.nt

[tallahasseedem]

13. I am really liking the message and tone going into the convention!

She's on fire!

[ismnotwasm]

14. Stand against "All these hates that affect the soul"

Yes indeed

[Nonhlanhla]

15. She's doing well

Good talking points, good tone, coming over as genuine (which I believe she always is, although she can sometimes seem less so). Loving this speech.

[joshcryer]

16. Clinton just invoked LGBT + Imam + Gun control.

Has there literally been ANY OTHER CANDIDATE MORE LIBERAL THAN THIS?

HAS THEIR? Name one. A single one.

FUCK ANYONE who doesn't think this woman is not the MOST LIBERAL CANDIDATE IN HISTORY.

Hey, jury. As Clinton literally just said, "WE NEED MORE LOVE AND KINDNESS IN THIS COUNTRY."

[auntpurl]

19. A-FREAKING-MEN nt

[ismnotwasm]

20. Hell yes!

[retrowire]

58. Imam? nt

[auntpurl]

60. She mentioned an imam in Orlando who has been working with the LGBT community

to help them recover from the shootings at Pulse.

[retrowire]

67. oh neat

That should enrage the shit out of some Republicans.

[auntpurl]

68. Yes, one would think.

Fuck 'em, I say.

[retrowire]

69. this world of ours has lost its fucking mind

I wonder if this was the political climate worldwide before a world war?

Giant Meteor 2016

[joshcryer]

65. Imam = Muslim leader.

She invoked a local Orlando Imam (Muslim leader) who denounced the Pulse killings and supported LGBT.

[auntpurl]

17. God, she sounds freaking AMAZING.

She is such a grownup. She's never sounded better to my ears, after the shit show in Cleveland. I already liked her and supported her, but MAN.

"WE NEED MORE LOVE AND KINDNESS IN THIS COUNTRY". You're damn right we do!

[ismnotwasm]

26. I know!

'The last thing we need is someone running for president, who talks trash about America"

Boom

[RAFisher]

21. Here's the YouTube link if anyone needs it. Also on CSPAN

[TreasonousBastard]

22. Just heard her say "I am humbled"...

and went on again about working together.

That's the tone to take to defeat the Mouth over there.

[DCBob]

23. Did she announce vp yet?

[auntpurl]

25. No not yet nt

[DCBob]

30. Thanks. Im sitting at a bar on the Potomac at National Harbor south of DC.

Hotter than heck but enjoying nonetheless.

[auntpurl]

33. I will reply to your post when she announces. :)

[DCBob]

36. Super!

Appreciate it.

[auntpurl]

40. She's done. No announcement. nt

[DCBob]

45. Really? Wow. What does that mean?

[auntpurl]

48. I think it's to do with Munich.

The shooting spree in the shopping mall. It's quite bad (9 dead) and the killer is still on the loose. It probably wasn't appropriate.

[DCBob]

51. Yeah. That's probably correct.

Thanks for the updates.

[angrychair]

53. I think she has changed her mind on pick

I think she was leaning towards Tim Kaine but recent events and pushback from liberal progressives will likely Move her toward Tom Vilsack or Tom Perez.
At the end of the day all we can do is trust her choice and hope for the best.

[auntpurl]

55. I don't think so.

The news is saying the events in Munich influenced her decision not to announce.

[angrychair]

56. Makes sense

I'm also hoping for a different outcome.
Again, she chooses who she chooses but I have my preferences too

You make a good point that she would want to avoid overshadowing other issues that are more important right now. Thanks!

[auntpurl]

57. I agree, I would prefer several other candidates to Kaine.

But if it's Kaine, I'm still 100% onboard. Especially after that fantastic speech!

I would prefer Becerra, Brown, Booker, Warren, or Perez over Kaine. I prefer Kaine over Vilsack. How lucky we are, having so many good choices. Trump scraping the bottom of the barrel desperate to find his VP, and Hillary has an embarrassment of riches from which to choose.

[DCBob]

59. Me too.

But Kaine is probably the safe pick.

[auntpurl]

61. Not sure.

I suppose it depends on whether we're more likely to pick off voters on the far left or the middle. And how influenced those people are by the VP pick. The extreme left who refuse to vote for Hillary won't do so no matter who she picks, but there may be waverers on the left who want to see a sign from Hillary that she's going to continue in a progressive direction. A Warren/Brown/Becerra pick would make those people feel more confident. If you're picking them off from the middle, then Kaine is absolutely the right choice.

I think Hillary has a fantastic team who is privy to more information than we are, and I am sure they are considering all of the above and a hell of a lot more when making this decision. I trust them and her to make the right choice.

[DCBob]

62. Yeah. That makes sense.

I think the Hillary team is very cautious and simply playing prevent defense. Kaine does no harm.

[Stinky The Clown]

63. Uhh . . . .

Liberals would like Perez. Vilsack not so much.

Also, I can just see the attack ad featuring his treatment of Shirley Sherrod.

[joshcryer]

66. You probably know, but she didn't announce today.

Munich probably overshadowed it.

Just posting in case a reader sees your question and wants an answer.

[DCBob]

70. Yeah. That's my guess also.

Unfortunate but wise to do so.

[joshcryer]

71. Can we haz Warren?

(Probably not.)

[Joe the Revelator]

24. After the last week, I can't stress enough that it feels good to have someone who you know won't....

kill the country. Maybe she's more of the same, but more of the same is SO much better than the alternative.

[Tatiana]

27. She is standing up and strongly proclaiming our values. We are a great country ALREADY!

Yes, we can do better, and we will do better to help build a brighter future.

We are a "forward looking nation."

She is doing exceptionally well. This is Hillary at her minimally-scripted best.

[Joe the Revelator]

28. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but if you're not watching this speech, you should be.

This is Hillary going for the early win.

[Johnny2X2X]

29. This is her time now

Trump had a disaster of a convention and that only had 1 night that wasn't considered a failure. This is her week now and she will dominate the news cycle.

[Joe the Revelator]

31. She's done more during this speech then the entire slate of speakers did in Cle

This is a hell of speech.

[auntpurl]

32. She is absolutely bloody NAILING it.

Positive, strong, inclusive. Fantastic speech and the PERFECT response to the Cleveland garbage fire.

[Stinky The Clown]

34. Her tone, her delivery, her empathy, her concern, her volume, he speaking TO people . . . .

. . . . not at people, was all so perfectly spot on.

[red dog 1]

35. Thanks!

[joshcryer]

37. CLINTON DOESN'T ANNOUNCE VP

[Tatiana]

38. "STRONGER TOGETHER" - That needs to be a slogan at the convention.

"We need to stand up against hate and divisiveness." (told to Hillary by those in Orlando when she asked what they needed)

[joshcryer]

42. I think that's her new campaign message.

[Squinch]

39. Yep. That's why I'm voting for her!

[Expecting Rain]

41. No announcement

[tallahasseedem]

43. What an amazing speech!

A great rebuttal to the week of hate we have been dealing with. I am fired up for next week now!

[auntpurl]

46. I feel SO FIRED UP!!!!

She was absolutely bloody brilliant. And she LOOKS amazing! Beautiful physically with light in her eyes. SO different from the dead-eyed zombies in Cleveland.

I actually got tears in my eyes. I am SO GRATEFUL and SO PROUD to be a Democrat! Fuck anyone who says she's not perfect so she's not good enough. She's AMAZING and we are SO LUCKY to have her!

[Tatiana]

44. Love TRUMPS hate!

LOL! LOL! And she gently lays the mic down....

Love it!

[Stinky The Clown]

47. At the moment, its just the dogs and me in the house, and I'm applauding and cheering!

You GO girl!

[auntpurl]

50. ME TOO!

I am FIRED UP!!

[bucolic_frolic]

49. "Love trumps hate!"

Sweet!!!!!

Go Hillary!

[NastyRiffraff]

64. She said the same thing I said about Ted Cruz

"Ted Cruz was right!"

The whole thing was wonderful. Her take on the "I alone" Trump statement, the divisiveness of the whole Republican convention, followed by the contrast; she used "we" most of the time.

[Astraea]

72. I genuinely liked it

and I can rarely sit through a politician's spiel without rolling my eyes and changing the channel.

She did very well, I thought.

[DawgHouse]

73. I missed it but am going to watch it at livestream.

Thanks for posting!

[MineralMan]

74. She destroyed Trump and set the tone

For the convention and her campaign. A winner on all counts!
