2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt's well known I'm not a Hillary fan. That said she gave an exceptional speech
The delivery. message, and sincerity was spot on. It's obvious she put a lot of time, effort, and heart into this speech.
I applaud her for her efforts. The message of inclusion and efforts to reach out to Sanders supporters was much appreciated.
Best wishes to DUers from all walks of life....

(72,790 posts)It was a fantastic speech. There was a lot of unity in Philly for 4 days. The party is in good hands.

(11,641 posts)Trump has already stoked enough hatred and fear of other people. Even other Americans. There is no way I want to see Donald Trump near the White House.
Watching him early on as birther made me furious. I actually had very heated conversations with Republican friends that bought into the bullshit. Thankfully they never brought it up again and hopefully they actually realized how wrong it was to think that way.
Hillary did an excellent job of laying out why Trump would be a disaster for America. I loved this statement of Hillary's:
A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.
That was an excellent and summed up one of Trump's major faults perfectly...

(12,265 posts)She has a rather impressive list of references, as well
Decades of hate and propaganda suggest she can't be trusted to the point where my own perception of Hilary has been clouded. After watching the democratic convention for four days, I've decided to reassess my preconceptions. After all, if Bernie Sanders is comfortable endorsing her, if Elizabeth Warren is comfortable endorsing her, if Sherrod Brown, Joe Biden and Cory Booker are comfortable endorsing her. Heck, if my favorite First Couple Barack and Michelle Obama are comfortable endorsing her, then I should be comfortable giving her the benefit of the doubt; I mean these people, all of whom I have great respect for, surely know Hillary better than I ever could.
Prior hesitancy and reluctance issues laid to rest.
I'm with her.
Because I trust the people who have endorsed her.
