I'm kind of a tough guy... but Hillary brought tears to my eyes.
I was moved. She had made me so pissed off at her, and then, in a twenty minute speech, she just did a complete 180. I was really proud to be a democrat today, brothers and sisters. I'm sorry if you don't feel that way, but..... I was genuinely moved.

3. I'm glad I am not the only one who got all teary; I'm female, but
I feel the same way. I was waiting...and waiting...and wondering...and then BAM! she just walloped me with passion and support and dedication and a message of unity and I was all misty and leaky and weepy and holy shit...great job, Senator Clinton!!

6. Makes me think what kind of president she would have made.
But all the rest of you see is the capitulation.

8. Then again, maybe it is true, and I missed it. But why did I miss it?
Was it her, or me? She just seemed to be so, ...... bossy... bitchy..... snide????

Maybe I was wrong. But she sure did a 180 for me today.

12. "bossy... bitchy..... snide"
And now, magically, she isn't.

Now that she isn't trying to be president.

Yeah, that was her fault. Yeah, that's the ticket.

(Shaking my head, laughing in believing disbelief. I would be so ashamed to be that easily manipulated.)

10. It wasn't a gush. It was chills and the real deal. I would prefer many others besides
Obama, so, take that into consideration, Skittles. My opening post came from my heart, so don't belittle it by calling it a "gush". Or, I'll just..........

Fuck it.

11. Hillary was treated like garbage on DU
now all the sudden they're just singing her praises - it rings false to me - and I did not care for HRC or Obama
