Details to come, since this is written just after she left the stage at the New Hampshire convention hall. She was as intense as Carly Fiorina in the 2nd debate, as fierce as Trump in asserting her views, and she went nose to nose with Trump's "make America great". America IS great, she said, and we are going to make sure the greatness is available to everyone in America.
The quiet thoughtful "listening" Hillary was being overwhelmed by the Trump energy and call for bold, forceful leadership. But this is a different Hillary.
She was forceful. Pugnacious. Certain. Powerful. Unapologetic for being a woman.
Time elapsed. I am back at my office, six hours later, and able to post some photos and video clips, plus put the day into some perspective.
The thrust and comparison in my previous comments on Hillary was that she was presenting herself as a cooperative facilitator, in contrast to the Republican candidates who are sharp in denouncing Obama, Hillary, the state of the economy, etc., and that Trump has positioned himself as a persuasive and very powerful leader. He is unapologetic for not being a policy wonk. He doesn't bore people with legislation. He asserts bluntly that when there are problems he will knock heads and get things done.
But today is a new Hillary, every bit as forceful as Trump. The A-student is also a pugnacious leader herself.
It is easier to show it than describe it, so go to the video link there on the upper right. It brings you to short clips from today's speech, each of which are about a minute.
