...I thought I wasn't going to be giddy, at that point it was past the primaries and into the general, and I still felt giddy. There's a real power to having a sincere belief in the power to change. There was a lot of fun made of people like you and I, that we had an irrational belief, but the truth is that what we really have is true hope that we can "stand up for what we believe in again" and take the country back from those who would do their fellow Americans harm. We are truly optimistic, and that is important!
