Mayor Walsh endorses Hillary Clinton at rally inside Great Hall
"Nobody come closer to her achievements," said Walsh
UPDATED 5:27 PM EST Nov 29, 2015




BOSTON —A rally was held in support of Hillary Clinton at Faneuil Hall Sunday.

Most of the audience were labor union members as Clinton’s remarks focused on improving the country’s infrastructure, alluding to damage done from Boston’s historic snowfall.

The rally kicked off with an endorsement from Mayor Marty Walsh saying nobody comes close to the Democratic front-runner’s experience.

“Nobody comes closer to her achievements,” said Walsh, a former union member. “Get your sledgehammers ready, because we have a glass ceiling to demolish.”.............

........BOSTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton called for hundreds of billions in new federal spending on infrastructure on Sunday, kicking off what her campaign says will be a month-long focus on job creation.

Standing before a backdrop of union workers and students, the Democratic presidential frontrunner vowed to rebuild “ladders of opportunity” and give a greater number of Americans a “middle-class lifestyle.”..................

I hit post--only to discover it was a dupe--10 to 15 minutes time lapse approximated. Then I saw the same story. Sorry for any convenience to anyone.

10. Faneuil Hall, which is fantastic is not very large

I saw Governor Patrick speak there when he was running the first time and saw several John Kerry speeches, mostly in 2006, but also one when he was becoming Secretary of State. All had overflow crowds, but more importantly, it is a place where standing ovations, applause and any reaction echo through the building. (People stomping in the balconies in response to things said is heard everywhere.)

It is a fantastic place to have an event and I am sure that the Clinton rally there had to be exciting.
