    So that you have a road to drive on and clean water and electricity and a school for your children and police for your neighborhood and firefighters so your house doesn't burn down, and a military to protect you, and a CDC to save you from the Zika, and the NIH to research drugs, and a NASA to tell you about the universe, etc. If it weren't for anyone having to pay anyone else's **** you would still be living in ****.

    I didn't get the chance to watch the whole speech but what I saw stuck me as effective but not great. As I predicted Hillary Clinton just couldn't come close to her husband or Obama in terms of oratory or also working the crowd. There were times I thought she looked uncomfortable with the spontaneous cheering. Almost like she was waiting for them to stop to get to her next point. That said I think her speech accomplished most of what she needed to get done I terms of unifying the party, showing her experience and most importantly showing how dangerous Trump is. The speech I don't think will change a lot of perceptions about her or really capture the imagination of the American voters.

    Do you really expect Hillary to capture anyone's imagination?

    Right, there's no mutual benefit to preventing kids from starving and being uneducated. Who do you think commits violent crime dumbass? You see many Harvard grads doing crack and robbing ATM's? I know Trump loves the poorly educated but maybe if you think hard enough you might understand how a more educated society benefits you and how a trillion dollars in college debt affects the economy. Good luck with that.

    Work and go to college? People do it every day and don't have life long debts.
    Don't have sex if you can't support the outcome of sex. Don't leave your kid if your dad left you.

    Real simple.

    An hour of him calling her names and making faces while she discusses policy would probably not work so well in a general election debate.

    I don't agree with the liberal idea that giving someone a handout is the same as giving them a hand up but I don't think your rhetoric is really helping either.

    What I truly hate is that the DNC is using the good will of our people to control all of us.

    Him and the lady next to him that worked with Hillary since 2008 are the biggest goofs on there. No objectivity whatsoever from those two unlike the others there. I would take what he says with a grain of salt.

    Poor/uneducated people tend to make poor decisions like that. You can't tell people not to have sex or not to leave their kids, that's unconstitutional, and abstinence education has proven to not work. What you can do is create a system where it is easier for poor people to rise out of it all.

    If life was a video game poor people would be playing on "hard" difficulty while rich people play on "easy" mode. Rich people can afford to make a lot of mistakes and still beat the game, while poor people don't have that advantage. You can still beat the game on "hard" difficulty, but many others will fail.
