Smith university. Lets listen in. We can all rise together with inclusive economics and inclusive social policies. But as i said, youve got to have an inclusive political system. Starts withstanding your ground the Supreme Court appointment. I hope he gets a person confirmed. But whether the president does or not there will be other appointments. Its important we cannot have a republican president and Republican Congress and a republican Supreme Courtment the country will never get over it. But you also got to leave the door open. So this is my main argument. Everything hillary has done since we first went to washington when i was elected president , everything she found a way to get republican support for. When we lost on healthcare, she worked with senator kennedy to pass the Childrens Health insurance bill. Now more than eight million kids insured under that and got 75 of the vote in both houses and both parties.
