What a contrast to the orange jackass that is her opponent!

No competition!

the BEST shots!

Our girl did us all proud! She will make a fantastic President.

But she also has some pretty big shoes to fill. Let us savor our last months with the current Prez as we work to elect the next one!

I think this convention will be seen as a success.

It had a rocky start and there have been some ass holes on the floor ... but at this point I think it was a good thing

Shes NOT a natural politician, and I hope she spends the majority of this campaign NOT trying to be one. Acting like the electorate is a bunch of Simple Bitches is going to be what Trump does, anyway. Better to be the opposite of that, imo.

"Here are top 10 quotes from Clinton's acceptance speech:

"When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit."

"When any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone."

"I believe Wall Street can never, ever be allowed to wreck Main Street again."

"When we have millions of hardworking immigrants contributing to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to kick them out."

"He (Donald Trump) spoke for 70 odd minutes – and I do mean odd – and he offered zero solutions."

"If fighting for affordable child care and paid family leave is playing the 'woman card,' then deal me in!'

"Bernie Sanders and I will work together to make college tuition-free for the middle class and debt-free for all."

"Now Donald Trump says, and this is a quote, "I know more about ISIS than the generals do...."No, Donald, you don't."

"Imagine (Donald Trump) in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."

"I'm not here to repeal the 2nd Amendment. I'm not here to take away your guns. I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place."
..."

It has been a great convention and Hillary's speech was a great finish to four eventful days.

Now it's time to work hard and make sure that Hillary becomes our next president.

Are you at the Convention in Philly? I haven't seen you around lately.

I am so excited for this election. This convention has me very optimistic about our chances.

I admit that I wasn't too happy about Tim Kaine's selection. I am trying really hard to warm up to him. As you know, my first choice was Xavier Becerra. He gave a good speech tonight. Among her finalists I liked Tom Vilsack the most.
