She really puts 'em in their places. Saying the things that need to be said, and making the points that need to be made.

Just painting a happy face on it isn't going to convince Latinos and African Americans OR women that the GOP is suddenly on their side.

You can't look at the relentless attacks on the right to vote (in THIS day and age!??!??!!!!!!!!!?!??!?!?!?) and on women's sovereignty over their own bodies. Some nice-sounding words and phrases will not counteract all of that!

VERY glad she notices. We need more of that.
