I thought she was anemic during the primary. I've always felt like she was a pandering politician. But what I am hearing out of Tampa is a born again hard Hillary. She sounds awesome. She's taking the gloves off on Trump. If this is Hillary going forward, she's a candidate we can all be proud of.

1. That was incredible.

Great job by Hillary. Perfect tone and pitch. Loved the optimistic message.

2. 'Love trumps Hate' Take that shit and run with it Hill.

Expose them for what they are.

[glowing]

15. I really think this is a horrific way of expressing displeasure with Trump....

It literally uses his name in her anti-message. It's not smart to put love and trump in the same line. Her message should be strong and have nothing to do with his name... If one doesn't see the Hate at the bottom and just reads the top two lines, we see Love Trump... I think the Dems need to come up with a different marketing campaign than being afraid of Donald Trump... If she's and we are afraid of Trump, how does one face up to the other leaders or multi-billionaires of the world?

3. She's tough as nails

Not many people could endure 4 days of televised vitriolic hate directed against them personally like what we just witnessed and come out swinging and smiling at the same time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Good! Seeing the GOP horror show of the last week

must have done it. Shit just got real.

[Sheepshank]

6. +1.....ain't that just the truth!!!!!

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Seriously, I am her biggest critic, but she was awesome. I'm fired up and ready to go. nt

[OldHippieChick]

5. Strong.

Loved it! And yes, MSNBC ran the whole thing.

[MohRokTah]

7. She saves this for the General Election.

She's never going to have that fire in her belly when up against fellow Democrats.

[stopbush]

12. Exactly. Imagine if she had trashed Sanders in the primary

the way Trump trashed his opponents. We'd be as divided as the Rs.

[bluestateguy]

14. That's because Sanders is an honorable man, and a fine public servant

So you debate him as a respectful critic with different ideas.

Trump is just a thug, deserving of no such courtesy.

[auntpurl]

16. Quite right.

And even then, Hillary was very obviously the grownup in the room. She's just had 4 days of the most vitriolic hatred thrown at her PERSONALLY by national elected officials and the candidate for president from the other party and she has emerged looking amazing, physically, with light in her eyes, animated, smiling, hopeful, positive, inclusive. Fantastic, hit JUST the right note.

[stopbush]

17. The other R candidates would have been respectful of each other

had Trump not dragged them into the gutter.

[auntpurl]

18. Not sure about Cruz - he is pondscum

but I agree, the tone was lowered irrevocably by Trump, and they never recovered.

[Tatiana]

9. Totally agree. She nailed it. She unashamedly presented what our values are versus theirs.

And she defended why Democrats hold those values.

She also made herself a bit more personable and came across as someone voters could relate to.

She sounded both firm and caring, realistic yet full of optimism.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. 'Tell them the truth and they'll think it's hell'

[OKNancy]

11. I'm obviously a fan, but that was one of her better speeches

hit all the right points IMO

[red dog 1]

13. K&R

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Home run!

That was fabulous. I can't WAIT for the debates!

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Bottom line: Who do YOU trust to take that 3 am call?

It's no contest there.

[grossproffit]

21. Not the white nationalist. That's for f'ing sure. #ImWithHer

[Joe the Revelator]

22. This year it really does come down to that. I'll sleep easier with Hillary in the situation room..nt

[calimary]

24. Besides, she doesn't need a tour around the place, or a tutorial about how to get there.

She's behaved with great class and elegance, throughout. AND she's setting up another template. She's broken ground for how a woman runs for President, because she's already gone farther along that road than any other woman.

I feel like OUR folks are the real adults in the room, and that will be proven yet again, and rather glaringly, in the way the Democratic convention is organized and staged and run. They're the seasoned pros. They're the REAL grown-ups in the room, with the cool heads and the mature, respectable behavior. They're the ones who take this stuff seriously. Hillary and Bernie are perfect to show how former opponents get along together when it really counts. I mean - look at the example the other guys gave us, to which we can compare how Hillary and Bernie will be a united front next week. Watching the pissy mess between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump - and how the "winner" there is behaving like a five-year-old, we can watch next week and enjoy, and feel proud as can be. (With apologies to real five-year-olds everywhere.)

Actually, watching that crazy display Wednesday and yesterday, it makes me appreciate Bernie just that much more.

THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE, GOP.

[AlbertCat]

23. I thought she was anemic during the primary.

She had a foil.

Not so much now.

[calguy]

25. I was afraid if she laid in on Trump too hard

before he was the official nominee, the GOPricks might have panicked and dumped him. She's playing this just right. I think she has two masters at campaigning in Bill and Barack to coach her along the way.
So far it's being well played.

26. Video

[Joe the Revelator]

27. I'm going to add this to my OP if you don't mind.

[MynameisBlarney]

28. To be honest, she's had that fire in her belly for some time

Now she is stoking it, and our support adds fuel to that fire.

[George II]

29. "Finally"? Have you been watching the news for the last 20 years?

[Joe the Revelator]

30. I can only speak to how I've felt the last 20 years.

Don't ruin it.

[NCTraveler]

31. Thank you JtR.

I am truly happy you like what you saw out of her today and it kicks ass you shared those thoughts. I know you have serious issues with Clinton. I hope she continues to give you something you find to be positive.

[Joe the Revelator]

32. She gave me Tim Kaine on the ticket and a hell of a speech. I'm off the bench.

Fired up...ready to go.

[wysi]

33. That was brilliant

This is going to be one hell of a campaign.
