something for me. i'm going to give him a shot. when he comes up with ideas that mach sense for working people, i think we should be working with him. when he is racist and sexist and homophobe and islamophobe, i think we're going to be vigorously in opposition. ordinary people have got to know that the democratic party has the guts to stand up to some very powerful people today whose greed is destroying the middle class and working class of this country. and if we can't do that, i don't see much of a future for the democratic party. in her first public appearance since last week's election, hillary clinton spoke at a gala for the children's defense fund last night. in an emotional moment, she talked about the impact her mother had on her. >> i draw hope and sustenance from another person who influenced my life and still does every day, my mother.
