Thank you for your service. I hope and pray you receive a kidney soon.

That is unfortunate. The testimony by these people belies the notion that Hillary is some kind of evil and opportunistic monster. To me, it is one of the major highlights of the whole convention.

I judge her by her actions not what she gets other people to say about her . We know what Hillary will do the when proverbial 3 AM call comes through. Besides the fact the Yankees are winning 6 to 1 so I may have to turn the convention back on

But what these people said about her were a result of her actions.

(And I’m just guessing here but I don’t think meltzerboy will be sad that the Yankees are winning 😛 )

I have no doubt the Clinton foundation made money out of it somehow. The Clintons don’t do anything for free

I know the level of your hatred for Hillary. I don’t think it hurts us to be charitable when it’s possible to be charitable.

That was quite the personal, moving, and informative speech by Bill Clinton. Wow.

And how about that Meryl Streep!!!

The Republicans give us Scott Baio; the Democrats present…Meryl Streep!

Not so shabby.

I used to have respect for Meryl Streep and she was one of my favorite actresses in the 70’s and 80’s. She is no dummy. How can she stand up there and support a woman who has blatantly lied about so many things and failed in her role as Secretary of State.
I couldn’t believe Bill talking about when they first met and blah blah blah. Why didn’t he go into the first time he was unfaithful to her and all the girlfriends he had? This is all so pathetic. Bernie supporters were robbed of their democratic process. The system was rigged for Hillary. I am sorry, but this is just like watching a very bad comedy.

I’m really surprised by the mentality that if a person is good at giving a speech written by somebody else and aided by TelePrompTer, somehow that automatically translates to ability to lead. Barrack obama first became popular through his convention speech. People still marvel at his rhetorical ability. I guess speeches are a major part of judgment for politicians but they really shouldn’t be judged alone…

They are not judged on that alone. In addition to prepared speeches (which they do inform, even if a speechwriter does write the final words) they also have to respond in press conferences and interviews. In these you can see how the person handles issues in real time without any outside help. Obama in particular has always exhibited a brilliant and thoughtful mind in interviews, so you know he is not just some actor reading from a script in his speeches.

Well at least if she wins (shudders), they can bring back any of the remaining stuff they took from the WH the last time around.😉
