    Man I think focusing on the opposition is the wrong play, we saw how far that brought clinton.

    It would be better to focus on policy and the future, people will focus on whatever you draw their attention to

      I thought her speech did a good job outlining some important parts of her vision for the future and her policy initiatives. She spoke about making strides to protect women’s rights (and keeping government out of doctors’ offices), she spoke in favor of supporting union efforts, all while still making a point to point out Trump’s deficiencies as a candidate without focusing on him longer than needed. There was a lot of inclusive language, just look at how much she used words like “we” and “us”.

      I’m working off an admittedly not-amazing memory here but I recall a very inclusive, welcoming speech that mentioned Trump mostly by contrast and to state the obvious in regards to him being the opponent and and bad option. She called for universal health care, for crying out loud. In explicit words, she said we all deserve it. She didn’t focus on policy or the future? What?
