## Transcript

He doesn't have the temperament. He doesn't have the knowledge. He doesn't seem to have the interest in acquiring the knowledge. Or the basic honesty that a president needs to have. Why did it take you this long? [ APPLAUSE ] You said you're the party of family values. What? You weren't Appalled earlier? When he was saying degrading things about women? When he was judging them based on a score of are they a two or a ten? That wasn't enough for you? Look, if a guy's spent 70 years on this earth, Showing no regard for working people. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] There's no record that he's supported minimum wage or supported collective bargaining, or invested in poor communities.

And then suddenly, he's gonna be the champion of working people? Come on, come on man. Now her opponents made it pretty clear, he's just gonna drag this election as low as you can possibly go. And he figures he makes our politics toxic. then maybe you'll just figure out you got no good choices, and you just get discouraged, and you just don't vote. But don't fall for it. Because I'm telling you right now, Hilary is one of the smartest, toughest, best prepared, most experienced persons ever to run for this job.
