Hillary Clinton Just Gave The Best Speech Of Her Campaign

Hillary Clinton gave the best speech of her 2016 campaign on Tuesday night, delivering a sharp, concise and forceful vision of a progressive future -- a clear thematic shift away from her recent attacks on her opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

The clarity and power of the speech were remarkable under the circumstances. Clinton, who defeated then-Sen. Barack Obama in New Hampshire in 2008, lost the Granite State on Tuesday to a self-described Democratic socialist by more than 20 percentage points. She lost the under-30 vote to a 74-year-old by 67 points, and lost women by 11 points. The drubbing came despite having dedicated a significant portion of campaign resources to the state, including dozens of paid staffers, thousands of volunteers and a strong pool of high-profile surrogates.
