Related: About this forumBILL CLINTON -- "TODAY YOU NOMINATED THE REAL ONE'
Up to the 28:25 mark is evidence of "the work." From 28:26 ...
... speeches like this are fun. Actually doing the work is hard. So people say, "well we need a change; she's been around a long time; and she's sure been worth every single year she's put into making people's lives better...
...You don't know any of these ...3.4 million people...but I'll guarantee you they know you ... because they see you as thinking their lives matter...one reason the approval of the United States was 20 points higher when she left the Secretary of State's office then when she took it.
How does this square with the things that you heard at the Republican Convention?...You can't. One is real and one is made up. You just have to decide which is which, my fellow American. The real one had done more positive change making before she was 30 than many political officials do after a lifetime in office. The real one... repeatedly drew praise from prominent Republicans when she was senator and secretary of state...
...life in the real world is complicated, and real change is hard and a lot of people even think it's boring...good for you, because earlier today, you nominated the real one...and she is the best darned change maker I have ever known...

Gives me goose bumps thinking about how big we can make this victory if we can keep Americans inspired by words such as these.
It's an exciting time to be alive in this great country of ours.
