GG Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Hillary Clinton Talks Tough on Shadow Banking, But Blackstone Is Celebrating at the DNC Blackstone is not a shadow bank, but that's ok.
sodbuster Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 My brother just called to tell me to tune into the speech because he says it's incredibly shaky. I can't get to a TV though, so can anybody confirm his assessment?
Doc Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 It is. She's a far cry from Slick and Barry as an orator.
keepthefaith Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Hill is on a roll and has just set a new world record for giveaways.
Doc Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Her "plans" are to have the rich pay for everything. Real original.
Maury Ballstein Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Vote for me I'll erase your student debt Geeeeesh. Hilly is acting like this is a trump roast.
sodbuster Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Hill is on a roll and has just set a new world record for giveaways.So she beat Fitzpatrick?
GG Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Hill is on a roll and has just set a new world record for giveaways. Not really. Trump promised to expand Medicare, SSI, build up the military & do it all by lowering taxes on everyone.
Juror#8 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) She is hitting all the talking point marks and attempting to reach disaffected republicans. She only flubbed one word (said "pan" instead of "plan"). She started out, appropriately, by being conciliatory towards Bernie Sanders folks. Paused for the applause lines. No high pitched yelling. You can tell that someone worked on the tone in her voice and her cadence. The feminist "deal me in" line was conspicuously present. I think that's so cheesy and contrived but it probably plays to some demographic (gay black men and white suburban women) so why not. Sounds like a Podesta thing. She has made 5-6 references to women but hasn't reached out to blacks or Hispanics yet. Minorities are her biggest constituent but she gets minority women by just talking about women so she can double dip in that regard. She has hit Trump only strategically. She is digging into his business record as a type this. Talking about his absconding on bills and Trump merchandise being made overseas. The "don't 'boo', vote" line was well placed. Juxtaposed "make America great" with "why don't you start making things actually in America" with regard to his clothing line. The crowd is enthusiastic. Chanted "Hillary" four or five times by my count. Talking about foreign policy now. Very hollow and generic. Superficially hawkish. But she threw in a "no Donald, you don't" line to hit him on his foreign policy knowledge base. Effective. Tied it in to her Secretary of State bona fides. Now just tied everything into a fairly weak pandering effort. Now she is hitting Trump directly head on. "A man that you can bait with a tweet is not a man that you can trust with nuclear weapons." That was tough. Her speech writer is getting a lot of lines that will circulate tomorrow. It's not a stretch to say that her speech writer(s) are better than Trumps. Completely extemporaneous impressions ... dont think it's a bad speech. Actually, it's replete with soundbytes hat will read well to independents. Caveat, her speech says nothing of her overall bad candidacy and demonstrated levels of ineptitude since ithe speech happens in a vacuum whereas she is who she is. So that said, it's an "effective" speech. "I'm not here to take away your guns, I'm not here to repeal the second amendment; I'm here to make sure that you don't get shot by someone who shouldn't have one." Alright, I'm not play-by-playing this anymore. And she just brought up bruhs and brown folks. So checked a box there. My score - 7.5/10 for style and effectiveness. Night.

ALF Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Very impressive speech by Hillary. If only politicians could deliver on their promises. I do think this tipped the election to her once and for all.
keepthefaith Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 She should get a bounce in the polls over the next several days but the real campaign begins tomorrow.
Doc Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 She said nothing new that people don't already know. This won't do much for her.
DC Tom Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 She said nothing new that people don't already know. This won't do much for her. The convention is always good for a 4 point bounce at least. With two candidates as thoroughly repulsive as these, the election's going to turn on voter turnout. Who supports who is irrelevant if you can't get them to the polls, and there's a lot of people disgusted by their options who'd just as soon stay home as make any effort to support these two pandering shitpiles.
grinreaper Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Very impressive speech by Hillary. If only politicians could deliver on their promises. I do think this tipped the election to her once and for all. What specifically was impressive?
DC Tom Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 What specifically was impressive? The end was great. I mean the very end. When she was done talking. That was wonderful.

Yup.
ALF Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 What specifically was impressive? Political rhetoric is always impressive. What they can do is more impressive then what they say.
