"The very first thing a new president does is take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. To do that with any meaning, you’ve got to know what’s in it.

Very, very, nice.

Thought this was a very good, back to basics speech along the lines of what she started with her speech in San Diego before the CA primary. She hit Trump very hard and kept the focus on the mortal danger he represents to this country, while weaving in the issues we face and how we can address them head on and successfully. She’ll finish out the week strong with this appearance and the one with Kaine tomorrow.

Hillary Clinton argued in a speech Wednesday that her opponent, Donald
Trump, was a threat to democracy and well on his way to turning the
Republican Party into the “party of Trump.”

This is superb. The Democrats need to use every opportunity to keep the GOP bound hand and foot to Trump. - Trump said something offensive? Every Dem Congressional candidate has to tie it to his or her opponent. Don’t even call them Republicans any more: it’s the Party of Trump.

Come on, Hill tell it like it is. Trump is a draft dodging coward and an asshole loser.

We need a law that makes it illegal for anyone to refer to the modern Republican Party as “the party of Lincoln.”

The Republican Party has nothing to do with Lincoln. It’s a completely different party. This party would proudly have slaves if they thought they could get away with it.

Trump’s opponents understandably want to assert it is Trump that represents what has gone wrong with the GOP. It’s Trump that’s steered it to where it is. It would be electoral madness for Clinton to speak the truth, that it is the citizens enamored with Trump, those committed to voting for him, that have come to be today’s GOP. The party of Lincoln has become the people supporting Trump and Trump’s ideas and policies, his bigotries and anti-intellectualism, his misogyny and xenophobia. Truly we have met the enemy and he is us.

The “party of Lincoln” was at that time (1860) was the party of the progressives and the democrats were the conservatives. These days that is conveniently ignored.

Why didn’t she rail against Trump?
I am disappointed.

Not to make too fine a point of it, but the Party of Lincoln hasn’t been the Party of Lincoln for decades.
