Hillary has just given a stemwinder of a speech! She gets better and better!

[Hekate]

Fired up!

Anyone with a link to the whole speech, please post it, because I missed the first half. I came in about the time she said "partner with unions."

It's exciting to see her like this.

1. Oh man, I agree!

Better and better. Trump called her old and tired. She just demonstrated she's just the OPPOSITE!

[BootinUp]

2. This video is whole rally her speech starts around 27 minutes in

21. Thanks!

[sarae]

3. I agree...

She seems very energized. I love seeing her like this.

[procon]

4. She was 100% right when she said that Trump was reduced to making personal

attacks against her because he has no policies to talk about. He has to resort to internet conspiracy theories because he can't speak knowledgeably about anything... and he thinks he's going to beat Hillary?

[Her Sister]

6. Oh Man! That's so perfect!

[LiberalFighter]

5. I thought I heard them say she did not use a teleprompter.

[Control-Z]

10. She had notes in her hand.

Notice I wrote IN her hands, not ON her hands? Lol. I love having the brightest, most qualified woman person in politics on my side. It's like a breath of fresh air and just so comforting. That she's a woman is icing on the cake.

Speaking of cake - I love that Senator Barbara Boxer brought snacks to the sit-in. Another exceptionally accomplished public servant whose gender happens to also be icing.

7. She really has become

an excellent candidate, a far cry from 2008 Hillary. She is more relaxed and confident now and apparently doesn't have a Mark Penn type adviser.

Hopefully the media will give her the exposure that she deserves, especially after all the free air time they've given Trump over the past year.

8. She was incredible! And what a contrast with that dunce twump!

9. I am not a fan of Hillary's "big venue" voice.

I get it. I understand that one needs to get a little monochromatic and deliberate when speaking in a large space (even when the mics are on), but I think her speaking style in these settings reinforces the idea that she is cold.

Yes - there's a double standard for men. But the best orators find a way to soften their delivery and to save the more-forceful (strident?) utterances to drive home a point. Bill and Barack know how to do this. Maybe they can afford it because they're male. I don't know.

That said, the visuals were great today, beginning with the fact that the podium lectern was set waist high, which had a good effect of making Hillary look taller and larger than life. When the podium is too high it cuts off her physical presence. And her clothing reflected the seriousness of her message. I know this might sound trite or sexist to some, but it is a reality of the image projection game, and on that point, Team Hillary hit it out of the park today.

11. I heard most of her speech and thought her voice was right.

It wasn't as loud sounding as some. And I don't believe she has been too loud in that many.

I didn't realize the podium height. Good to have the visuals right. I did like her outfit much better than some of the others she has worn. She didn't look baggy.

[stopbush]

13. It's not a matter of being loud. It's the lack of modulation.

[tallahasseedem]

12. She has really come in to her own this election season...

I have followed her since 1993 and I don't think I have ever seen her so wonderful! Very relaxed, confident...amazing!

[peggysue2]

14. On Point!

A great counter to the earlier speech/drivel given by The Donald. Hillary was in the zone with substance, delivery and humor. She's the best she's ever been at exactly the right moment.

It was a joy to see and hear. Also understand she received a rousing welcome in Congress as she outlined what she's prepared to do and how she'll support down ticket races.

We've got a winner here!

[flamingdem]

15. She's winning me over

Very impressive lately

[ProudProgressiveNow]

16. +1000 nt

[Hekate]

17. I'll have to watch the whole thing later. Currently I'm watching the House Dems sit in.

I am so proud to be a Democrat today.

[ibegurpard]

18. speeches aren't going to cut it

Many of us have big reservations about her and will be watching what she actually does.

[Hekate]

20. She's doing what she needs to do as a candidate. I'm sure you will be "watching"...

I'll be watching, too, as Democrats unite to elect our candidate.

[Bill USA]

19. a great speech!

[DCBob]

22. Great news. Although this doesnt surprise me.

I knew she would rise to the occasion.
