She is probably more qualified than the whole clown car of repuKKKe goof balls, but I just dread the long future of campaigning we have to put up with to keep our government functioning.

The real challenge is the Congress. If we continue to allow the dim witted corners of this country to control Congress, we are screwed. Little baby steps forward aren't going to do it. We need to get this country moving into the Twenty-first Century. We have been suffering since ronnie's trickle-down nightmare infected our country, and it's going to take decades to fix the mess we are in today. With a bunch of teabaggers and corporate politicians in Congress, we will continue to siphon off our wealth and our future to the oligarchs and corporations. Doom is near, and we keep treading water.

It didn't sound like she was speaking from the heart. To me, she sounded scripted and stilted, just saying the words with an overlay of charming body language. I'm comparing her to Bernie Sanders, who always sounds like he means it, never falls into speechifying.

Yes, I know how much her fans adore her, and yes, if it comes down to Hillary or a Republican, I'll hold my nose and vote for Hillary. But, once she achieves her goal, if she abandons the people and moves into the corporate column, I'll be lined up with all those who will be demanding her scalp.

Hope she picks a good vice president.

But then using 'yesterday' as a central theme of how she kicked off speech... should have drawn the lines more distinctly, one way or the other

I think they need a new speech writer, especially someone who can work with her delivery style.
