There was a little rally for Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia Monday night, featuring Bill and Chelsea Clinton, President Obama and the first lady, and performers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.
Michelle Obama delivered what many considered the best speech of the night, while the president was a little more subdued than usual, perhaps knowing this was the final rally for the two-term president who never quite figured out how to stop campaigning.
It was Hillary’s night, but President You Didn’t Build That paused to recount the accomplishments of his presidency and at last give some of the credit to his fans in the crowd — or was that to the Republicans in Congress — letting them know that, with him, they’d turned “Yes we can” into “Yes we did.”

"yes we did" create an anti cop environment. "Yes we did" increase government spending. "Yes we did" embrace critical theory. ?

all you proved was 'yes you can' commit crimes while in office and 'yes you did' let it happen.
