I'm watching Hillary's speech on economic policy.



I have to say I'm impressed. The speech made me more comfortable with her from an economic standpoint, especially when she called out the right on the privatization of EVERYTHING. It was a pretty Progressive speech.

She hit a homer with that one. She carefully, methodically and thoroughly demolished Trump point by point on economic grounds. She successfully challenged his signature boast: his business "acumen."

by how solidly progressive Hillary is, even though it should come as no surprise at all, given her lifetime history of fighting for progress and progressive ideals.

I'll admit I was one of those people who had reservations about President Obama. I feared he wouldn't win the election, I feared he wouldn't be able to get anything done. I felt he would get one term at best. Boy was I wrong. So wrong. And I have never been so proud and so very happy to be wrong. I love the President, and even as I am excited about Hillary taking the helm, I am very sorry to see him go.

I hope in the future you will find yourself contentedly, even enthusiastically, proclaiming yourself as wrong as I once was.

I've been trying to tell folks that she's not who they think she is, but I should learn that people have to find these things out on their own and me "hillarysplainin'" doesn't help.

I am so happy that she will get a chance to show people who she really is instead of being remembered as what the people that hate her told people she is.

She talked about eliminating college debt, and creating and economy that works for all of us. The whole speech was a win-win, very impressive.
