Tough questions

The Clinton campaign conference call was officially a call with major fundraisers, though reporters were allowed to listen in.

And, man, those donors ask the tough questions. I didn't catch the questioners' names, but here's a sample:

"Hi, I’m part of a nationwide youth movement called Hillary Speaks for Me, and it’s been so exciting to have Chelsea involved."

"The cool thing is Texans are not afraid of a strong, smart, confident woman."

And, from Oklahoma: "With Hillary investing in her own campaign — man! Better!"

(A Clinton aide, responding to my cynicism, notes that they're donors and would be expected to be fans.)
