Hillary's scorching Trump with facts and details about his racist history.

That SOB can shout hyperbole and empty accusations all he wants. She has his history AND hers to draw on.

C'mon, Hillary! Do it for all of us who have had to listen his tripe for all too long.

Trump's speech was a bunch of over-the-top accusations with absolutely no evidence to back them up. Hillary is offering verifiable evidence about Trump's bigotry.

How he gets away with that BS is beyond my comprehension. Telling that audience that Hillary will do nothing for African Americans while backed by an all-white crowd is bad optics and tone deaf.

It was a strong and very forceful speech. Trump will try to push back on this but he has left too much baggage and scorched earth behind him over the last year of campaigning. All she needs to do is go to the video tape to prove her point. He is a racist who has surrounded himself with bigoted, racist advisors. He really has told us who he is all along and we should take him at his word on this subject. Thank you, Hillary for speaking up about this. The next few months are not going to be easy or fun for tRump. Bring on Nov. 8th for the final beat down!

Rump and his minions are despicable racists and misogynists, and no amount of sleazy pandering for votes can change those facts!

... to hate even if she raised people from the dead and walked on water but the rest of the nation will be able to see her.

From the Clinton Foundation non scandal it looks like Her and Bill are a force for good who trip over their own feet now and then...

WAAAAAAY better than have even a rational republican in office, I've not seen them do any of the kind of work the Clinton Foundation has been doing...

The M$M would rather them lay in a tub and draw their feet

Really? Really? How dare her malign the good neo-Nazi and KKK members.

Hillary eviscerated Trump, button to brisket.
Very very impressive.
You can not watch that speach and not understand how tough and smart this woman is.

Finally we have a Democrat who knows how to fight back. It is way past due.
Man I would love to give her a big old sloppy kiss.

She simply must keep on this fine course she started.

Trump is behind, and muddled. That means he must shake things up to
attempt to rebound, but with that comes risk, he can and often does
make things worse.

Hillary's campaign is about sound execution now. And wow, does this party
owe its expertise to the championship performances of Obama '12 and
Obama '08 and his advisers Axlerod et al.

Undoubtedly, even if her physical scars heal, the emotional ones probably won't, ever. As with most abuse victims, I'd guess.
