Trump's NYC speech killed it

Okay, thanks. I didn't think you had to be voting for her - though you are - to have an opinion on that. You've given me hope in admitting she has faults. On DCUM, you'd think she walks on water. |

DH attended. I didn't. When he got home, he shared this view. He knew I would find it of interest as I support her and am fairly vocal in how we, as a society, are socialized not to like her or any woman who has reached her stature. I think DH probably has some unconscious bias towards her and I think it fell away when he was sitting 15 fifteen feet from where she was speaking, especially in contrast to Trump. Yes, my guess is that women do this in conversation because society does not treat their opinions with the same weight as it does men. I probably would have college paid for both DCs if I had a dollar for every time, from college on, that a man repeated my comments in a meeting as if they were being introduced for the first time. That said, I shared DH's comments as he (1) was there unlike the PPs to date who watched on TV and (2) had heretefore less than favorable opinions of HRC. |

LOL. How many speeches do you give a day? Forget in your lifetime - each day. |
He just "decided", huh? Sweet.

Harh, DH was in the room. He could have hit either HRC, DJT, or the cardinal with a spit ball if he had chosen. He was watched HRC a gazillion times on TV. Being in the room made a difference. So...that's why I wrote "DH was in the room," not "DH was sitting next to me on couch." I support HRC, he only did as the least of two bad options. Doesn't feel that way now. Oy. |

Maybe you don't know? Some presidents rely on teleprompters much more than others do. It actually varies. |

Yes, it varies. Pols who usually rely on their stump speech with slight tweaks for each audience use them less. Presidents who are trying to connect with the audience in a re specific topic, theme, event (think Gabby Gifford or Sandy Hook) use them more. In my first public speaking class, I learned how to use note cards. But like anything, the more familiar you are with the topic, speech, etc, the less you need "crutches." I don't want the president spending all of his or her time rehearsing a speech for delivery. I'd rather have them read their remarks for something like Sandy Hook memorial a few times while en route to the event, then use a teleprompter. For run of the mill, I'd rather have them use the teleprompter and devote the other time to saving the economy, working with Congress, etc. My guess is most of these folks who carp about the teleprompters have delivered one speech, if that, and perhaps it was in front of 10 folks. They simply have no idea what it takes to deliver public remarks. |

Her eyes are perpetually squinted like someone once describer "her expression is that of someone caught a second before a sneeze" and her face is too tight with all that plastic surgery, so it could be that no expression actually shows what she is feeling because she cannot move her face. Besides it is not fun to be a bimbo-wife of such a despised loser. I cannot even imagine her nightmare of having sex with such a degenerate, crude, saggy and toad like man. And after all that knowing that he is pawing and molesting other women, lusting after his own daughter, eyeing underage girls! Melania made a deal with the devil - access to her body in exchange of Donald financing her parents to live in US. She is making the best of the situation but not necessarily being able to smile about it. |

And, you know Melania how? You say this as if you know her. I bet you are a real winner, pp. |

PP here.. I think staunch supporters on both sides are blind to their leaders' faults. People who are not staunch supporters of either have either abandoned ship by outright voting for a different party's candidate or not voting at all. Also, in the primaries, you saw many Dems voting for Sanders, and many of these folks are extreme left and are very critical of HRC. Obviously, this forum leans very left, hence you see a lot more staunch HRC supporters. Plus, if you hate one more over the other, you will probably be more apt to post negative things about the one you hate more vs the other. Well, at least, this is me. |

If he was in that room, chances are you guys are already big $$$$ Democrat donors. Why are you trying to get us to believe he 'just now' thinks she's OK |

| Trump looks uncomfortable in the debates and at this dinner. He looks most comfortable at his rallies. |

Well, to be honest, he could have been part of the wait staff!
