Dear John:

Congratulations on the Nevada win!  It feels like a corner turned.

I especially liked the last few paragraphs of the secretary's victory
speech, as she began to pivot toward a message of doing things together.
The "fighting-for-you" theme is, I guess, ok in the primary season, but it
smacks of the overdone inside-DC message of "Here's what I'm going to do for
you!"  The electorate has heard variations of this from all sides for
decades and today nobody is buying.  As you know, I like "It's time for
America to rise together to make the new century our own!" as a theme, but
I'm just one guy.

But, again, good work by everybody and good wishes to everybody!  I believe
Sanders will continue to be a factor, but essentially a positive one helping
the secretary hone her progressive ideas and message.  He will ultimately
support her and most of his fans will follow.  The other side will have a
harder time uniting everybody, but should the candidate be Trump, he should
not be taken lightly!

A smart Hillary volunteer knocked on my door here in Nashville yesterday,
which is a good sign!

Sent with a handshake,

Bill
