Why HRC’s speech worked

Her speech lets us relax. Up until that point, I honestly didn’t think she, or anyone else had what it took to stand up to Trump.

Agreed that many were worried probably because she was unwilling to attack Sanders out of deference to his supporters and future party unity. But wow, if there was any doubt she could eviscerate Trump, that illusion is gone.

She used the same style to give a terrific speech about the Supreme Court at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in March. It was her second best speech of the campaign in my opinion. Pummeling Trump will always rank first : )
