Hillary's Reno Speech - Check in here if you're watching

[stopbush]

She is going after Trump's racism and racist ties, naming names and taking no prisoners.

Sad that Trump brought the campaign to a level where Hillary was forced to give this speech.

[livetohike]

4. Watched the whole speech. Great job!

[PatSeg]

31. I don't usually make through an

entire political speech, but this one was outstanding. It actually left me wanting more.

[Blue Idaho]

5. Given them hell Hillary!

Reminds me of that great Truman quote: “I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.”

[madaboutharry]

6. I'm very proud of her.

It is a long time coming that the truth be told.

7. Watched!

WONDERFUL!!!

9. She needs to do

more of this. Expose the orange one again and again. You go Girl!

[PatSeg]

32. And she did it in such

a quiet, yet powerful tone. Earlier Trump was screaming and yelling - what a contrast.

[misterhighwasted]

10. WOW!! WOW!!

[LiberalFighter]

11. She makes me feel good when I hear her talk. Calm, quiet and not hateful.

Unlike Trump. Who is loud and obnoxious.

[Raissa]

12. Wow.

I watched. It was a powerful speech. I teared up as she got deep into the conspiracy theories of the alt right.

[lapfog_1]

13. I've seen some comments here

saying Hillary doesn't have to respond to every loony-toon thing that Donald says...

I think her take down of Trump and his fellow travelers (alt-right, Breitbart) was SPOT ON and needed.

It was a great speech... the very first great speech I've seen her give.

Sending her campaign more money tomorrow!

[Rose Siding]

16. When your opponent's drowning, toss 'em an...

anvil! Bill Clinton was the first person I heard say that. This speech is great, but I've wept at the power in several of her others too.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. In a matter of minutes, she was able to out a laundry list of all of Trump's history of extremism

It was amazingly efficient and effective--just a rapid fire takedown of solid, documentable facts. Her husband was famous for doing that. Looks like she's just as good.

[KewlKat]

23. she was educating her voters. not everyone is like we are....I'm very proud of her and her campaign

[misterhighwasted]

18. They are dead wrong. This speech is exactly what she needed to do.

This is what a President must do for the country they want to lead.
Defend it's people against all threats, domestic and abroad.

Hillary unites. Trump divides.

[liberalmuse]

34. I'm so glad she did this.

This racism crap needs to be outed and cut down!

[mcar]

19. I've seen them too

Last week we had lots of threads saying HRC needed to get off her butt and get out there campaigning. Now we have people wondering what she's doing campaigning.

[sheshe2]

22. ...

I watched, she did great!

[Indpndnt]

26. Saw those, too. Some are only happy when they're complaining.

I don't get it, either.

[mcar]

14. It was an excellent speech

Factual, sober, damning.

[Democrats Ascendant]

15. GOTV

[misterhighwasted]

21. Absolutely!

GOTV..momentum is strong from here to Nov 8th.

[stopbush]

20. Re: Bannon

I wish somone would point out that there are dozens of respected R campaign leaders who Trump could have turned to for help, but that his choice was an extreme RW racist.

[KewlKat]

25. Donald's new staff............are a bunch of

[Buzz cook]

27. Kick him again Hillary.

Well done

[MFM008]

28. Gloves are off

Racist bitches!

[lillypaddle]

29. I watched!

Great job!

[rainy]

35. Watching msnbc now and all I'm getting is

she said racist he said: blab bla bla bla bla bla bla nonstop. Trump Trump Trump. Nothing else from Hillary's speech.

[Grammy23]

36. We've been down this road before where outright lies were not challenged.

Trump threw down the gauntlet last night with his horrendous speech accusing Hillary of being a bigot. As Trump is soooo fond of saying, "We had no choice." She had to hit back and hit hard. A light tap wouldn't do it. She had to lay it out, chapter and verse. It was an amazing speech and it HAD to be said. Bravo, Hillary! Bring it on!!
