It was a good long speech.

Some of the highlights (I thought) that you teabaggers will have to live with. With translation,……

Mrs. Clinton:
We're still working our way back from a crisis that happened because time-tested values were replaced by false promises.

Instead of an economy built by every American, for every American, we were told that if we let those at the top pay lower taxes and bend the rules, their success would trickle down to everyone else. (Jeers, booing.)

Translation: trickledown economics doesn’t work. FU rethugs

Mrs. Clinton:
Now, there may be some new voices in the presidential Republican choir, (laughter) but they're all singing the same old song...

A song called "Yesterday." (Laughter, cheers, applause.)

Translation: same shit different day from the rethugs

Mrs. Clinton:
Ask many of these candidates about climate change, one of the defining threats of our time, (cheers, applause) and they'll say: "I'm not a scientist." (Laughter.) Well, then, why don't they start listening to those who are? (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: Rethugs are stupid, they believe merchants of doubt/deniers for hire and are not thinking about our children

Mrs. Clinton:
They want to take away health insurance from more than 16 million Americans without offering any credible alternative. (Booing.)

Translation: rethugs have no compassion

Mrs. Clinton:
They shame and blame women, rather than respect our right to make our own reproductive health decisions. (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: Mind your own fuckin’ business

Mrs. Clinton:
We will restore America to the cutting edge of innovation, science, and research by increasing both public and private investments. (Cheers, applause.)

And we will make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century. (Cheers, applause.)

Developing renewable power - wind, solar, advanced biofuels...

Building cleaner power plants, smarter electric grids, greener buildings...

Using additional fees and royalties from fossil fuel extraction to protect the environment... (cheers, applause)

Translation: We will lead in developing renewable power

Mrs. Clinton:
Let's make college affordable and available to all ...and lift the crushing burden of student debt. (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: We owe our kids a good start

Mrs. Clinton:
So we should offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship. (Cheers, applause.) Not second-class status. (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: Immigration reform is coming

Mrs. Clinton:
And, we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families (cheers, applause) so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else. (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: Everybody,…….group hug

Mrs. Clinton:
We have to stop the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political process, and drowning out the voices of our people. (Cheers, applause.)

We need Justices on the Supreme Court who will protect every citizen's right to vote, (cheers, applause) rather than every corporation's right to buy elections. (Cheers, applause.)

If necessary, I will support a constitutional amendment to undo the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United. (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: I am going to select 4 Supreme Court justices during my 8 year term, one might be my husband, one might be Michelle, live with it

Mrs. Clinton:
I want to make it easier for every citizen to vote. That's why I've proposed universal, automatic registration and expanded early voting. (Cheers, applause.)

I'll fight back against Republican efforts to disempower and disenfranchise young people, poor people, people with disabilities, and people of color. (Cheers, applause.)

What part of democracy are they afraid of? (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: Dear old white men/bigots,……..your time is up

Mrs. Clinton:
All our Presidents come into office looking so vigorous. (Laughter.) And then we watch their hair grow grayer and grayer.

Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States! (Cheers, applause.)

And the first grandmother as well. (Cheers, applause.)

And one additional advantage: You're won't see my hair turn white in the White House. I've been coloring it for years! (Cheers, applause.)

Translation: I am going to be the President of the United States for 8 long years

HILLARY WATCH PARTY IN IOWA DRAWS FIVE PEOPLE

CNN Senior Washington Correspondent Jeff Zeleny reported that one of Hillary Clinton’s watch parties in Iowa was attended by only “about five people” on Saturday.

Zeleny said, “what her supporters are trying to do is strike up some enthusiasm here. But, I can tell you, Fredricka, that is going to be a challenge. We are here in Marshalltown, Iowa, it’s a town about an hour from Des Moines, and there are only a handful of people inside this watch party. There are watch parties across the country. We picked this one randomly. And there are about five people inside who are watching this. Certainly many more will be on hand tomorrow when Hillary Clinton is giving a big speech at the Iowa State Fair. But her challenge is enthusiasm. She’s not in this race alone, there are other Democrats running.”

Well, she really didn't have anything to say did she?

Then there's this: DAILY NEWS: 'Stale and a bit clichéd'...

OVERFLOW EMPTY...

This is the man you teabaggers will be voting for,…..

Let’s see how Jeb (don’t call me Bush) is polling against our next president Mrs. Clinton,…..

Doesn’t look good

^^We're 18 months away sabang, don't close the doors quite yet...

Your answer Boon Mee, for her "paying," constituents no doubt.

The question that should or needs to be addressed is, "How old is too old?" HRC is 67-8 now and by election time will be approaching 69...4 years in office with a medical background that is iffy at best...you better have a plan B for V.P...Stress is pretty much a killer in the Oval Office...Maybe she can call on Barney Frank to come back out of the closet?
