As a Bernie supporter.....Hillary DESTROYED Trump today. It was amazing. (Full Video)

My favorite line:

Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different — they are dangerously incoherent. They're not even really ideas — just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.

I must say, I was very impressed with Clinton's speech this afternoon. It was witty and on the mark. I do not support much of what Hillary stands for, but there is no doubt that this was her best speech in a very long time.

If you honor those who offer their lives, show it by not cavalierly spending those lives in for-profit wars. Return our heroes back to their families. That would be an honor.

neocons celebrate as being to the right of Obama.

From John Podhoretz

Now, there will be untold thousands of words of analysis devoted to this address, and much of it will properly center on the areas in which she factitiously and falsely defended her and Barack Obama’s foreign-policy choices from the Russian reset in 2009 to Syria in 2012 and, most especially, the Iran deal. But in its immediate aftermath, what is most striking is how determinedly Clinton decided to move herself to the center, edging to the center-right, on foreign policy matters and most especially on the complex issue of American exceptionalism.

With a few deletions and emendations here and there, this could have been Marco Rubio’s stump speech. It was many clicks to the right of Barack Obama

This was a glorious example of how to defeat him in November. She sounded calm, cool, and presidential.

The contrast between a real, grown-up, sentient leader (sure, she's not my first choice, but I'll most definitely vote for her) and Trump could not have been clearer.

I'm going to say something that sounds like criticism, but it's really not, because all three of the candidates do it too much (even my Bernie!), not just her: The tone today--quiet and measured--was so much better than when she shouts. I think that when she talks into the microphone, instead of shouting to make a point, she becomes about twenty times more likeable. (I know women's voices are criticized a zillion times more than men's, but I'm a woman, plus I don't like loud voices in anybody.) Maybe Trump's supporters like his sturm und drang, but a calm tone just accentuates the differences between her and him.

Republicans had what?, last year 20! 'people running for president' and they end up with a tabloid, reality TV showman-for their convention process.

Republicans would have been pitiful but better off if they re-ran Romney or McCain, or supported their R 'hero' Jeb! Now their party is less then ignorant, they're stupid.

Countries are divided into many tiny fighting ethnic groups. Their 'supporters' are pawns, like the regular citizens of the failure-countries are pawns.

A couple of Republicans try to ramp up an independent to run against Trump, if he happens to make it through their convention.

A 'counter' for Republicans would be to use their delegates to nominate someone else at their convention. Clinton/Sanders will steamroll over Trump in a general election. Against any other Republican the general election would be 'harder' for Ds.

Anyone who saw her steely cool-headedness during GOP Trey Gowdy's 11-hour Benghazi farce
like I did can take solace in what she might have to do if/when facing that "phone call at 3 am" in the White House.
