The words and delivery are fine, just more low key than I've seen from her. Usually there's more passion, more raising of the voice, more arm movements.

and Clinton will fight for. A lot of them are totally news to me, and Clinton has skirted them far more than Warren suggested, but if that's where the party is actually going to go ...awesome!

I did have my hand over my mouth when she said there was no gridlock in Washington any time they wanted to rip off the american people, but then somehow she pivoted to saying that democrats are the ones who have always fought for us. That was a little jarring, but if she gets to be a part defining our democratic platform going forward, I've got high hopes.
