Because even if she isn't the first woman who ever ran for president or who was on a national ticket--she's the nominee for president because that's how we Democrats voted, and she has way more experience, and a way better temperament, than her opponent. It is comparing Hyperion to a satyr, you guys. Trump was out there Thursday evening talking about he was still really gung-ho about waterboarding (nothing new, here) , while at the same time, the DNC had on the family of an American service-member who happened to be Muslim.

Now, you can criticize her speech if you like. After all, her outfit, whether she had a flag pin, her tone of voice, and whether she smiled enough were criticized, so why not talk about the substance of her speech? She reminded us of who she was--not a natural politician or "talker", but a certified "doer". We heard her bio from Bill Clinton and from a Shonda Rhimes directed/Morgan Freeman-narrated short. We heard her speak about her passion for using policy to change human lives for the better in her own words.
