We can be strong and smart without advocating torture or bigotry.
We live in a complex and dangerous world. We need leadership that’s strong, smart, and steady.
“We need to rely on what actually works, not bluster that alienates our partners and doesn’t make us any safer.” —Hillary in CA
Hillary has a three-part plan to defeat ISIS in the Middle East, around the world, and here at home.
“We can’t let fear stop us from doing what’s necessary to keep us safe—nor let it push us into reckless actions that make us less safe.”
Slogans aren’t a strategy. Loose cannons tend to misfire. What America needs is strong, smart, steady leadership.
“If Mr. Trump gets his way, it’ll be like Christmas in the Kremlin. It will make America less safe and the world more dangerous.” —Hillary
America should not be shutting our doors to orphans or applying religious tests for people fleeing persecution. That’s not who we are.
In our fight against radical jihadism, we have to do what actually works. What doesn’t work: offensive rhetoric that demonizes all Muslims.
When Republican candidates like Ted Cruz call for treating American Muslims like criminals, it’s not just wrong—it’s counter-productive.
“If I’m president, the United States will not condone or practice torture anywhere in the world.” —Hillary in CA
We face serious challenges in the world—but Americans will not turn on each other, turn on our allies, or turn away from our principles.
There were several dignitaries and former officials in the room. Hillary stopped and spent time with them after the speech.

In this speech, Hillary referred specifically to two Republican candidates and their plans. She mentioned proposals by some Democrats, but did not mention Senator Sanders by name. He should afford her the same courtesy. Senator Sanders should stop attacking Hillary in his speeches and stop giving his audiences reasons to boo her. When Hillary mentions him, usually in primary night speeches, it is to congratulate him, not to criticize his policy and plans.

Lawrence O Donnell gave her high marks on her speech today. Very Presidential. It was sober and direct at Cruz and Trump. ” The Last Word” on MSNBC at 10:00PM should be good.

Thanks again for the great photos and facts! Secretary Clinton is ready to be president on day one. I saw a poll today that has her up 6 in Wisconsin. I just want sanders to stop bad mouthing her and concede. Trump will not be cakewalk. Since a lot of sanders followers are not democrats it could be anyone’s guess who they will vote for. Bottom line, Secretary Clinton and President Obama are democrats. Congrats Secretary Clinton on your win last night! Thanks to the folks who make it happen!

Thanks s4h for great photos and great coverage. I so agree with you about Sanders’ tone and attacks… It is high time for him to tone down BIGtime on that.
And Ii have been seeing a lot of vile attacks from Sanders’ supporters – that must stop. Not only do we need to be prepared to unite, we must stop feeding falsehood to the whirring world of Internet that is nicely stoked by the GOPers.

If Senator Sanders really wants to come out of this campaign with his reputation as a man of principle intact, he needs to stop regurgitating right wing talking points left over from the nineties and tell his supporters FORCEFULLY to do the same. I have no desire to make him quit running. That’s his right. But how he runs from now on makes a difference.

Exactly. Also, Bernie’s future in the Senate could be affected by his continued classless petulance. Dem senators will not be very forgiving. No wonder none of them have endorsed him.
