Robert Stein provides a pretty good outline as to “What Hillary Should Say Tonight.”
In particular, I like the words:
A decade ago, I saw first-hand the politics of personal destruction and the lengths to which those who practice it will go in their lust for power. The bitter irony now is that they are invoking my name in an attempt to destroy the opponent with whom I engaged in an intense but honorable contest for the nomination we will be bestowing on him here.
And,
They are the true enemies of everything we believe in, and we must not let them practice their divide-and-conquer tactics on us.
Of course, Hillary (in Stein’s suggestion) is referring to the Bill Kristol’s in the Republican Party who so disingenuously—and so transparently—feign “empathy” for Hillary in her so-called “betrayal” by her Party, especially by Obama supporters. (See my “Bill Loves Hillary—Bill Kristol, That Is.“)
Empathy, my foot!
They despise Hillary Clinton almost as much as they loathe Barack Obama.
They claim to hear and feel the “the anguished cries of Hillary supporters.” Yes, probably as much as they hear and feel the anguished cries of those who have been tortured under their beloved Bush-Cheney administration; and probably just as much as they hear and feel the anguished cries of those who have become destitute, homeless, lost their health care, etc., under their beloved Bush-McCain team.
There is only one small paragraph I would add towards the end in “What Hillary Should Say Tonight”:
So, to those out there who believe the Democratic Party is a piñata which, if beaten hard enough using my name as a bat, will rupture and let the candy–my supporters–fall into their preying hands, let me tell you loud and clear: ¡Eso no se puede!
