We're supposed to believe that the husband of a woman of Hillary Clinton's accomplishments,

who encouraged, supported, defended and stood by his wife for more than 40 years as she broke barrier after barrier, and who on the the night she became the first woman ever nominated for President on a major party ticket, gave her a full-throated, poignant, brilliant, sentimental endorsement somehow demeaned and undermined her because he referred to her in much younger days as a girl?

Really?

"In 1971, I met a girl . . ."

Reminded me of Julia Roberts' line in "Notting Hill":

"Don't forget I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her"

I thought it was extraordinarily sweet.

So, MSNBC - stop with the hating, already.

Bernie brought it!

Thank you, Senator!

What do you think the reaction would be if people heckled Bernie during his speech?

Not suggesting it happen - in fact, it would be awful and I would condemn it loudly. But I wonder if those who think heckling Elizabeth and Cummings and other is just a matter of "being heard" would be as open-minded about people "being heard" while Bernie's trying to talk . . .

"When they go low, we go high."

I love this woman with my whole heart.

Nina Turner: "Dem Party needs to acknowledge pain of Sanders supporters." NO, Nina

This is not an encounter session or group therapy. It's a political convention. How long are we supposed to wipe these people's tears, hold their hands and kiss their boo boos?

This is ridiculous. These people need to effing grow up.

Is anyone asking why Wikileaks is targeting the Democrats?

Are they just kind of off-base with their targets - like the protesters who are swarming the Democratic Convention but gave the Republican Convention a free pass - or is there some darker motive?

I'm tired of hearing "Hillary's the only Democrat who can't beat Trump"

How naive are we to swallow and repeat this crap?

Hillary's numbers have been dragged down PRECISELY because she CAN beat the Republicans. That's why they went after her. That's why they launched the Benghazi "scandal" witchhunt. That's why they raked her over the coals, pushed for an FBI investigation, and hammered the "not honest and trustworthy" drumbeat - that too many Democrats picked up and banged along with them.

This has little to do with Hillary herself. If a different Democrat had been the frontrunner, they would have found a slit in THEIR armour and done exactly the same thing to them, probably to even greater effect since there isn't another Democrat on the scene who is more battle-tested and able to withstand such an onslaught as well as Hillary.

So, myyfellow Dems, PLEASE stop doing the Republicans' work for them - stop repeating this BS mantra that Hillary is inherently weak. She's only as vulnerable as we let her be and if we stand firm and strong WITH HER, she's unstoppable!
