I agree. I heard the speech too and in it he said all the things I'm still waiting for Hillary the other "democrat" to say.

So far to me Hillary sounds like Reagan.

Except Reagan was a competent speaker.

A talent developed and honed during his radio/movie/TV career. Although, The Donald is clearly the lessor man.

When he wasn't saluting the curtains in the WH, I guess.

Maybe Minister of the Disheveled. She needs him for credibility.

What a disheartening election this will be.

Senator Sanders took defeat like the gentleman he is. Accepted defeat gracefully, no shame he fought a good fight. Most likely in a different cycle he'd be the nominee.

Bernie should resign from the Senate and lead a progressive movement. We need to ensure that Hillary is a one term president. If not she will move the country too far to the right on the pretext of reaching across the aisle.

Indeed. The democratic party certainly is no longer progressive.

The country as it is has already moved too far right if it thinks Hillary is progressive or in any way liberal.
