I don't like being talked down to, or manipulated. I'm not moved by false images, or stories of falling in love, especially from my politicians. I don't hero worship; and I certainly would not hero worship a musician, a sports figure, or a politician.
I thought Bill Clinton's speech was low grade pablum for the masses. He was saying the same thing Trump says, only Hillary can solve all our problems. I thought Alicia Keys song "super woman" was horrible.
There was detail about Hillary, but only the top icing, nothing that truly exposed how she deals with world leaders. Of course the mistakes were forgotten. And I'm not impressed by her early legal work anymore than I was impressed by knowing Obama was a community activist. I could care less about how Bill and Hillary fell in love. In fact, I found that rather insulting implying she would be nothing without his political career.
I'm sure there was a small percentage of people who voted for Obama just because he was black. No doubt there will be a small percentage of people who will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. It would be a mistake for the Clinton's to think those few votes would give her the win. The event did nothing to erase her trust problem, which is what will lose her this election.
The American people have always needed a little more sales resistance towards their politicians. I have no doubt all this imagery will get votes for Clinton. I just don't understand why. Maybe I have more sales resistance than most.The worst, or best thing the Clinton's have going for them is the dripping hate their supporters write about Trump, or any Clinton opponent. I don't believe Clinton is an angle anymore than Trump is the devil.
I don't see the Congress passing the money needed to fund her plans anymore than the Congress will pass spending to fund Trump's plans. At least her plans are clear, not some mirage Trumps keeps talking about.
Bernie was true to his convictions to the end. He stayed in to record the vote. Something he promised his voters. There was no acclimation for Hillary from Bernie, and he left the convention as soon as the roll call ended. He lost the nomination, but succeeded in pulling the party to the left.
All this talk about the Democrats passing the most liberal platform in history, is bullshit. Although, it's certainly more left than the democrats have been in over 50 years.
I was totally unimpressed. If you were, get a little more sales resistance for politicians.
