Hillary was
awesome talking to Dems.
Mixing humor with a fiery display of disgust, both of which drew standing ovations and chants of “Hillary!” at a Democratic National Committee meeting here, Mrs. Clinton sought to position herself as the fiercest fighter the Democrats could put up in 2016 against the eventual Republican nominee – and the one best equipped to strengthen the party organization and help elect more Democrats in 2016.
Her applause lines drew such enthusiastic reactions that, for a moment, the ongoing controversy over her email server – and the possibility that Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. might enter the presidential race – receded, as the crowd seemed to revel in her broadsides against Republicans.
She's fierce and fighting and not pulling any punches. That's what we need.
Facing Democrats who have concerns about her presidential candidacy, Hillary Rodham Clinton galvanized them on Friday with a searing attack on Republicans, saying “the party of Lincoln has become the party of Trump” as a result of Republicans’ reluctance to repudiate Donald J. Trump and his divisive remarks about immigrants, women and others.

“Their flamboyant front-runner has grabbed a lot of attention lately, but if you look at everyone else’s policies, they’re pretty much the same,” Mrs. Clinton said to several hundred Democrats. “They’re Trump without the pizzazz or the hair.”

Turning from smiling to stern, she continued: “You hear Mr. Trump say hateful things about immigrants, even about their babies. But how many others disagree with him, or support a real path to citizenship, or draw the line at repealing the 14th Amendment? Today the party of Lincoln has become the party of Trump. Think about it.”
She's fired up! Calling the rest of the GOPers the cowards that they are . . . rather ensuring that folks know that while Trump is the most blatant and rude, they all believe the same damn thing. Is Hillary the ONLY Democrat who sees this and speaks it? Trump is a fool but the GOPers are all the same.
And I love how she ridiculed Trump saying HE knew more about women's issues than she did. WTF!!
Mrs. Clinton laced into Mr. Trump for saying Thursday that she “doesn’t have a clue” on dealing with issues important to women.
“Really? I mean, you can’t make this stuff up, folks,” she said. “Trump actually says he would do a much better job for women than I would. Now that’s a general election debate that’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Go, Hillary! Give 'em hell!
And, she did not forget Black Lives Matter, a cause dear to my heart and for which Mrs. Clinton has been protested twice.
Mrs. Clinton’s speech drew several standing ovations – one when she charged that Republicans were offering no new ideas or commitments on an array of domestic policy issues.
“No promises to end the era of mass incarceration or say clearly and loudly, ‘Black lives matter,’” said Mrs. Clinton, whose choice of words inspired several audience members to chant “black lives matter” along with her.
Ah! Response and call, engaging the audience. Obama was a Master. Hillary is learning.
Hell, some of the Republicans like Scott Walker claims he doesn't even know what Black Lives Matter is. How can he or they, then develop any policies to stop cops from killing Blacks.
The speech was awesome. Lots of energy in the room. Lots of standing ovations. Lots of "Hillary! Hillary!" chanting.
