Democratic National Convention

But Bill Clinton’s wife is one of the least empathy-driven candidates in the history of politics.

Notwithstanding the intentionally degrading epithet "Bill Clinton's wife", I think this is false. I think Hillary Clinton is as driven by empathy most people in her institutional position (ie to a pretty-damn-qualified extent); in fact, I'd wager she's more empathy-driven than Hillary Clinton's husband. I think she's just absolutely terrible at showcasing that facet of herself, so instead the very normal calculations that sit behind the veil of most candidates are instead, with Mrs Clinton, as Ann as the nose on plain's face.

I disagree with your suppositions.

Thank god that boring ass intro is over. Oooh, my favorite pop song is playing.

Correct, The difference between Hillary and many other candidates is the facade. George Bush and BIll Clinton and Barack Obama didn't give a **** about most people that they claimed to give a **** about. They never really took a stand on anything. Just token gestures to get people off their backs. Hillary lacks the ability to emote that facade as well as those 3. I would liken her to Kerry or Romney in that regard. THey too lacked the relatability of a superior candidate. Difference with Hillary is she's in a lot of big people's shadows (Bill and Obama) and she looks really bad in comparison.

I loved that pop intro. Good stuff.

 

[weso1]

This is so fake, it's painful.

 

[Runnin]

I don't know why her campaign wasn't better at putting forth the narrative of her career the way that intro video did.

We need a mature president to lead this nation. Katy Perry introduces Hillary Clinton.

She just wants people distracted by bewbs.

Reality is that she is pandering to young people who wanted Bernie hoping they'll abandon their priorities because a popstar says it.

 

[weso1]

Can democrats still elect Biden?

 

[weso1]

This speech is so depressing. Any legit republican could've beaten her lame ass. Her speech is so bad they have to shout a fake Hillary chant.

 

[Runnin]

She needs to fluctuate her volume level down more, the way Obama does.

 

[weso1]

This is the worst speech I've ever heard at a presidential convention. I'm legitimately shocked.

 

[weso1]

Trump is going to win the damn thing.

 

[weso1]

Someone please end this speech so that Hillary might have a career beyond this.

To be fair, "Katy Perry is already hot" is a much more tactically effective line than "America is already great".

 

[weso1]

The irony is that the assumption was Trump was a plant to elect Hillary. Now it appears that Hillary was a plant to elect Trump. What a weird election year.

 

[weso1]

"Deal me in." So much cheese.

 

[The Tariff King]

"Deal me in." So much cheese.

I can't even imagine how corny you think Trump's one liners are.
