2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBeen away... and did not think I would get here....But..
I'm definitely with HER.
Last night was a shining reminder of who the Party of the people really is.
I thought some of the comedy and the early attacks on Trump fell flat and I would caution against it (17 candidates for President tried the same, Gillibrand and Franken aren't going to say anything we don't already know) but overall the big three to close the night were simply outstanding.
I come to you offering my support, my help, my time both here and in the field. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that provides hope for the middle class of this country and I think we have some serious power brokers in the Senate to help further push an extraordinarily Progressive agenda when we take the majority back in November.
I didn't discover all of this last night, but I stayed away for a while to collect myself and reload for the GE. I'm with her and if night 1 was a sign of things to come, this could be one of the all time great conventions.
Happy to be on board and I hope you'll have me after a long tough campaign.
Thank you for that, and welcome back.

(2,052 posts)I had the great opportunity to sit down with delegates who know Sec. Clinton very well. I trust these people. And I came away realizing while she has not been perfect, she has in many instances been attacked unfairly. I trust them when they say she does care about the plight of the working family. Elizabeth and Bernie getting out there behind her is just icing on the cake.
I cast my vote in November with zero doubts in my heart. What strange trip it has been! lol
