  1. As Crockett said: Will a **v**indictive, **v**ile, **v**illain **v**iolate **v**oters **v**ision?

    Hillary was on fire tonight. Love her or loathe her, but she delivered the goods. AND she was the perfect bait:

    Watch now, Trump and his pet chameleon and their whole circus will attack Hillary for weeks. And *that’s* a win for Kamala, because the more time Trump spends talking about and focusing on *not*-Kamala, the harder and faster Trump sinks.

    All Trumps Republican strategists and colleagues will be begging him to not take the bait, but – my, oh my – Trump takes The Hillary bait so willingly and so easily. So smart.

    The trap is set: Hillary served herself on a dish tonight, and Trump just won’t be able to resist.

  2. Whos Dem Convention 2024 bingo card had:

    >”Hillary comes out to rapturous applause then goes on to knock her speech out of the fucking park?”

    If there’s anyone who deserves to enjoy such a chant, it’s Secretary Clinton

    Not a fan of this chant with Harris for obvious reasons, but for Clinton – she deserved every second of that.

    Democrats taking the gloves off is something Republicans really don’t want but they’re getting

    I really don’t like those chants at Harris rallies.

    But in this situation with Hillary, I think it feels appropriate.

  7. I truly forgot what a great speaker she is. She knows how to communicate the speech so it ends super high energy.

  8. At least 8+ years that Hill has been living rent free in the heads of old, wealthy, conservative males. Between Her, Barrack Obama, and Joe Biden they seems to never slay their political demons as a party. It’s to the point where it is paradoxical. Is she this double dealing silent assassin or growling PTA Mom? Is Joe old and sleepy or does he run the biggest deep state operation against the right? Or has it been Barack* Obama running the show all along since he left office in 2016? Dartboard Don Quixote’s and their charging against hated windmills.

  9. Seeing Hillary smile and nod serenely while an arena roared “lock him up” healed a part of my soul that I didn’t know was still bruised. Bless. 

  10. The fragile Trump voters that were never going to vote for anyone other than Trump will be outraged.

  11. Can’t wait for FOX News to be in absolute fits over whatever she said for the next 24 hours to 1 week.

  12. Hilldog has been waiting on that moment for 8 years. I hope that smile and nod turn into a meme

  13. I didn’t like Hillary. She is a typical lifelong politician—so typical that she always speaks and acts perfectly: the right tone, the right words, the right appearance, and the right smile. It feels kind of fake.

    I changed my mind on the night of the 2016 election when she called Trump to concede. It must have hurt so much to see the presidency slip through her fingers, and especially hard to lose to a guy like Trump. But she had the decency to call and concede.

    I hope the trump rally style chanting doesn’t become a thing. If it was a one-time little shadenfreude joke or whatever that’s ok. Still makes me instinctually uncomfortable.

    Love or hate Hillary, you can’t help but feel a little bit cathartic for her in that moment.

  16. realfolkblues on

    The only time it was appropriate to NOT silence the crowd. If anyone had any right to let it slide, it was Hillary. Forget what CNN was saying about that moment being regrettable, no F that. She was right about everything. This was her UNO reverse card.

  17. I’m watching the convention live on ABC and keep seeing articles of speeches I have yet to see. What is going on?

  18. salotsalipunan on

    She deserved that moment. And whatever else anyone may think of her, she was totally right about Trump.

  19. The shit eating from she had when the crowd was chanting that was something to behold.

    I know Harris doesn’t want people chanting that, but just this once…

  20. We’ve heard enough of hang Pence to last us a lifetime. Hit the road Trump/Vance and don’t you come back no more, no more.

  21. “lock him up”….. tx’s maga, for the motto….how ironic, that it’s your candidate, with 34 convicted felonies.

    Nobody knew at the time how prescient the term “Basket of Deplorable” actually was
