Hillary Clinton delivered a moving concession speech this morning - - even out-ranking her wonderful nomination acceptance address at the Democratic Convention this summer - - that is going into the books as the greatest such speech ever.
Her words, tone and message were eloquent.
Inspirational - - from main street to Wall Street.
No wonder the US stock market turned on a dime from a 300 point loss to a 180-point gain.
She may not be the President-elect, but she sure was the Crisis Manager-in-Chief this morning.
One more thing.
Concession speeches are the hardest political talks to deliver. Then elevate the one which Hillary Clinton just made and take into account the personal stresses, the awareness of close-by crushed family members and devastated supporters, the reality that this was biggest loss imaginable on the biggest stage imaginable amplified by the so-close near-miss breaking the glass ceiling - - and you get a sense of what she just knocked out of the park today.
And the stuff of which she's made.
