Love and Kindness, that is the motto that Hillary Clinton has sworn by in her political career. And it was the motto on Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention, presenting a sharp contrast to last week in Cleveland, when a slew of speakers like Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie screamed and brayed about power and anger and violence and control.

Hillary and the Democratic party has decided to kill with kindness.

Lauren Manning, with 80 percent of her body burned during the 9/11 attacks, in her thick New Yawk accent, tells a story of her friend Hillary, showing up at the hospital room to hold her hand and offer support.

Ryan Moore, a man with spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia dwarfism, tells the story of Hillary being there, year after year, surgery after surgery, to hear his story and fight for his health care rights.

U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley of New York, who lost one cousin, a firefighter, to 9/11, tells of Hillary fighting for money for New York State. “People forget!" he shouts.

People don't even know. That’s what Bill, the former President was there for. To tell them.

He started with an instant classic: “I met a girl."

In a long-winded, riveting speech that seemed to be mostly unscripted, he wove tales of courtship (he tried three times to get her to marry him and three times, she refused, until he bought a house she liked) with tales of her dogged work ethic and constant perseverance on behalf of those less privilege. It was an unusual speech because of the role reversal and the history-making inside-outness of it all—a former president extolling his spouse (already a first) who is running for president.

Though Bill cast Hillary as a change maker, his stories, were at the core, stories of love and kindness.

Will it work?

This picture of caring and forgiveness? Of consideration and love? Can it beat fear and loathing? Can love really conquer all?

I don’t know.

It's not as catchy as Make America Great Again, Make America Safe Again, Make America Work Again.

But it's better than Make America Hate Again.

Donald Trump is doubling down on fear, on hate, and paranoia. Every day there is a new terrorist attack, and somewhere in the world, Isis is claiming credit. Everyday he gloats that he’s the one who can control the attacks, who can fix things. Fear has worked very well in the past. I take solace that after 9/11, after Bush, it didn't work at all. Hope and change worked.

Clinton on Clinton: there’s a fixer in America, and her name is Hillary.

My favorite line, or section of the speech, was an extended riff on the choice between a “cartoon”—Trump—and “the real one.”

"Well, if you win elections on the theory that government is always bad and will mess up a two-car parade a real change-maker represents a real threat.

So your only option is to create a cartoon, a cartoon alternative, then run against the cartoon. Cartoons are two- dimensional, they’re easy to absorb. Life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard. And a lot of people even think it’s boring.

Good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one."

Watch it.
