I agree on who the speech was not aimed at.

I'd also add that there's no sense in not picking up Bernie voters, but the DNC and Hillary Campaign don't seem interested at all, so I suspect the real purpose of her speech is also not to pick up republican crossovers. It's likely meant to push down Trump voter excitement and turnout while energizing her own supporters. That would explain why the speech seemed to be 75% knocks at Trump and 25% vague nice stuff about America.

And some nutty people here are hating it also. Nt Logical Jun 2016 #1
