And I'll preface this by saying that if Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, I'll absolutely be voting for her.

But I don't see anything in her performance in this video clip to stand up and cheer about. Frankly, what I see in this clip is a masterful, political performance of saying the right things while promising nothing.

I'm more interested in positions and facts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hillary accepting money from the Prisons-for-Profit industry? And doesn't that contradict--completely--the sentiments she's expressing here?
