and I think she's done a great job of finding common ground and unity with Bernie's supporters and Bernie himself. I thank Bernie for the ideas and ideals he brought to this campaign.

I am glad she has adopted some of his platforms. I was blown away by how great and uplifting her speech was. I am fully behind Hillary! Now we need to win in 2016!!

We must win! The alternative is awful, and ALSO Hillary in the WH is the BEST way to keep Bernie's ideas going (not to mention her own ideas, which are progressive and inclusive).

the Democratic party toward a more progressive agenda.

When Hillary said Thank-you to Bernie for what he brought to the campaign, she meant it

Hillary is a liberal and has always been a hardcore one. It might have taken Sanders to finally let the Democratic Party be more bold and outspoken for liberal ideals.

I give Sanders a lot of credit, he helped other Dems realize how popular these ideas are.

Bernie has given her a lot of cover to go forward very publicly with her most progressive ideas.

As Bernie said, it truly IS, by far, the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party!!

I've heard several great ones from her recently. Policy, policy, policy, Dumpster Twitter joke, policy, policy, attack Dumpster. Great formula!

Loved the joke about also accepting $27 donations (even though she flubbed it a little)!

Sanders speech was also great. What I liked that he did was use quite a lot from his stump speech (the stuff that matters to him so deeply) and replace his campaign's name with "Hillary Clinton" - it shows just how close they are on policy and is a clever way to show unity.

Thank you to Senator Sanders and all his millions of supporters for a lively campaign focused on very important issues!!

$20 and $27 contributions!

But, I am glad both of them have come together. It was Sanders goal to make it okay to be liberal again -- and he succeeded.
