Yes, she is right. I think this is what Nietsche meant. "When you fight monsters, you must make sure you do not become a monster." I think it is like what John Lewis said. We have to look for a way to make good trouble.

Never take on the persona of the vileness of who you dislike. If you do, you lose.

She's an amazing role model for all of us.

She kept me riveted to her every word. I wasn't at one moment disappointed. She laid Trump bare with a grace I'll never master.

I think the whole evening was so moving and such a return to decency and real normalcy that it was like a damn bursting for me. I couldn't hold it back!

Many, many of us sprung leaks tonight. It was the kindness, empathy and general decency being shown. You're fine, you're actually just a decent person.

I didn't know how much I missed it until it was offered to me like that again. It brought me to my knees.

Think it's the best of the best. What a note to end the evening on.

Hope is soaring. Can you feel it??

I'm energized, and impassioned!

I'm already active in Joe's re-election campaign, but now I wish I could forgo sleep and do more!

The whole evening was remarkably strong. The Dems took a brand new format and made it work beautifully.

But Michelle? She rocked it out of the house!
