Former president Bill Clinton on Tuesday urged Americans to dismiss
decades of political attacks and elect the “real” Hillary Clinton this
November, in a deeply personal testimonial to his wife’s character and
grit.
“You should elect her because she’ll never quit when the
going gets tough. She’ll never quit on you,” the former president told
Democratic Party delegates who selected her as their first female
nominee earlier in the day.
Turning Republican attacks on their
head, Clinton offered a tacit admission that his wife was part of the
political scenery and that she was not always as flashy, or such a
gifted orator, as other politicians.
“She’s been around a long
time. She sure has,” he joked. “And she’s sure been worth every single
year she’s put into making people’s lives better.”
Some people
find change from the ground up “boring,” said the two-term leader, who
is now 69. “Speeches like this are fun — actually doing the work is
hard.”
