A lot of jewels of hypocrisy in this speech, so I took some notes & transcribed a part of it:

(1) Forget about those superdelegates that nullify the people's vote:

Bill said, "We gotta have a Supreme Court justice that will expand voters' rights, not contract them."

***

(2) @ 5:43 -- Freudian slip -- Bill said "revolution" & changed it to resolution (he's apparently feeling the Bern) .

***

(3) Bill wants us to think he's Jimmy Carter, using his foundation for altruistic purposes, while he seems to be channeling Captain Queeg defending NAFTA:

"The work that I do with my foundation -- I travel around the world to try to help lift people up -- give someone a way to make a living, give them someone to educate their kids.

"Everywhere in the world people are pursuing a shared prosperity while good things are happening.

***

(4)This is particularly rich:

"Everywhere in the world the people already at the top are too selfish & people are trying to have a monopoly on political power & don't want to sit down & treat each other like decent human beings & work out a fair, equitable coalescent solution. Conflict occurs; good things are not happening."

***

Earth to Bill: This election is about Americans; when you ask for the working class's vote, how about talking about lifting them up; getting rid of the superdelegates tool & protecting our voting rights; breaking up big banks & monopolies that prey on us. Or, perhaps, after giving us NAFTA, maybe you don't even care, so just save it for one of your yuk-it-up sessions with Hillary where you take turns with the "...& then I said..." private jokes.
