11. She is truly ON FIRE!
Mon Apr 25, 2016, 10:14 PM
Apr 2016

First, Rachel asked her something about what she'd do if she'd "be ahead" She said "Rachel, I AM AHEAD! So let's start that conversation from there!"

She was clearly angry at the gun lobby and said it needs to be a "voting issue." We should vote out of Congress anyone who kowtows to the NRA, and VOTE in off-year elections.

She spoke extensively about women's issues, labor, and of course the economy. "Women's issues are family issues;" when women are shortchanged in pay, her entire family suffers.

When asked about Sanders' insistence that his urging supporters to support her if she wins the nomination, she pointed out that she made no demands on Obama when she conceded; in fact she worked for and with him and spent a lot of time getting her supporters to switch to him.

She was strong, detailed, and succinct. Quite a contrast to the previous hour with Bernie's Town Hall.
