His politics weren't always perfect. His behavior wasn't always perfect. But dammit....

...if there's one person who I am absolutely captivated by and fascinated by and inspired by, it has to be Bill Clinton, bar none. Finally being able to shake his hand earlier this year has to be one of the greatest thrills of my life.

He's going to be a hell of a First Gentleman.

He's done so much for this country, and yet he manages to make this speech not one iota about him.

He knows his subject. He is a natural.

People sense that from him. He is amazing.
