One of the best speeches I've ever heard...just shared the video with my FB friends (hopefully some hearts and minds can be changed). Definitely a fan of Hillary now. I really hope none of these frighteningly ignorant Republican candidates get elected and set progress back any further.

What an amazing speech. If only everyone could have the same views as her.
