This is a horrible speech from our "presumptive" nominee. [View all]

She's all over the place, no common thread, other than "he's bad...so I must be good"

the "I've went toe-to-toe with Russia and China" is some major chest pounding hawkish crap that's worthy of W. Bush's speech writers.

no vision, no call to action...just a bunch of rehash and finger pointing.

We are much bigger than that! we're supposed to be Democrats!!
