I’m Excited – Meeting Hillary in Bridgeport ~~ (Not me~ The writer, lol!)

Great description of her experience meeting HRC at rally. Encourage a read as she describes her experience! NICE!

Hillary was introduced by state Rep. Charlie Stallworth (D-Bridgeport), a local pastor who read his prepared remarks.

When Hillary entered the circular, secured area from the back of the room, the energy in the room soared. It’s impossible not to note the pretty ensembles she wears with accessories and jewelry. This day she wore an aquamarine coat and scarf over tan pants and looked stunning with low heels which allowed her to quickly maneuver and climb steps. When I watch her gracefulness, I see a yoga student.

“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure America’s best years are ahead of us,” she told supporters in the university’s gym. “You should feel that your country has your back. Our economy does better when we have a Democrat in the White House.” She hit all the high notes; the crowd’s enthusiasm exploded. For Hillary’s approximately 30 minute speech, she spoke without notes or a teleprompter. It was impossible for the audience to be distracted. One has the feeling she digs deep into her vast intellect to recall experiences, names of people and moments that cement relationships, and get you hooked on her extraordinary abilities.

...only about 200-300 people at each. No huge rallies of 10,000 to brag about.

Who won? Clinton by almost 7%. THAT is how to do grassroots campaigning.

Sanders can talk about his "yuuuge" rallies, but the people that attend those just simply do not get out to vote. As I've been saying for months, he's a novelty attracting tourists and spectators, not voters.

Was the title of the piece! I have never met HRC.

I shook hands with AL GORE once at a fundraiser where I was volunteering in 2000 so I guess that was a job recommendation or something.... lol!
