Less Than 24 Hours After Dallas, Hillary Delivers One of the Most Important Speeches of the Election http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/7/9/1546802/-Less-Than-24-Hours-After-Dallas-Hillary-Delivers-One-of-the-Most-Important-Speeches-of-the-Election


It's time to admit that Hillary Clinton is an underrated speaker. While her delivery doesn't usually match the finesse and dynamics displayed in memorable speeches by her husband or President Obama, that's an unfair standard. Judged on her own substance-over-style merits, without constantly being compared to two of the greatest political speechmakers in modern American history, she does just fine. And sometimes a lot better than that.

Arriving less than 24 hours after the horrific events in Dallas, yesterday's powerful speech in Philadelphia was one of the best and most important of this entire election season, both in terms of substance and delivery. Everyone in America should watch it.

Philly.com:

Hillary Clinton struck a balance Friday as she addressed thousands of African American churchgoers, decrying both the recent fatal shootings of black men by police and the sniper attack that killed five officers in Dallas.

Clinton called the Dallas deaths "vicious and appalling" while telling a convention of African Methodist Episcopal Church members that "implicit bias" exists in how police deal with black people.

"What can leaders and people of faith say about events like these? It's hard to even know where to start," Clinton said. "For now, let's focus on what we already know deep in our hearts. We know there is something wrong with our country. There is too much violence. Too much hate. Too much senseless killing. And too many people who are dead who shouldn't be."

Clinton said she would, if elected president, include in her first federal budget money to train police officers in how to deal with all communities, calling it a "national priority."

She also praised the Dallas officers who came under fire while patrolling and protecting a peaceful protest sparked by two recent police shootings of African American men in Baton Rouge, La., and near St. Paul, Minn.

"Remember what they were doing? They were protecting a peaceful march," Clinton said. "There is nothing more vital to democracy than that. And they died for that."

4. This seminal speech got zero coverage in the MSM. Or, did I just miss it?

She was presidential in style and substance; her delivery was pitch perfect.

She just keeps going from strength to strength.

5. I am proud to be a Hillary supporter.

I do believe she is the most qualified candidate we have ever had. And I was and am an Obama supporter. He became a great president but certainly did not have her readiness for the job on day one of his presidency.

6. She is going to help our country

She is already helping our country. She is here at time we need her most and there is no better person to take the baton from Obama. We are incredibly fortunate to have both of these people leading us through difficult times.

Thank you for sharing her speech. The MSM should be broadcasting this repeatedly. Her words and wisdom need to be heard.
