28. She did awesome

Sun Feb 5, 2017, 09:35 PM

Feb 2017

I have to say I really wanted her to lay into Trump, or have some more symbolism in her stage or act. But I appreciated the first part with the Obama-like message of red and blue being one country. Anything more literal would invite all kinds of abuse against her and may just be worse in that it would open it up into a hate fest back and forth.

She kept her dignity and actually played 3D chess with all the pre-critics that were all ready with their poisoned pens to smear her. So she retains a reputation of impartiality which will serve her for any future moments when she wants to speak out more forcefully.
