Last night was the big day….Pres. Obama will speak to the convention about the qualifications and reliability of the Dem nominee, Hillary Clinton….the whole media establishment is holding its breath waiting for the speech….can it be as warm and fuzzy as the one delivered by Bubba?
Biden and Obama spoke and as usual it was two great speeches that energized the crowd…did what it was suppose to do….if you would like to know what they had to say then look it up…..I got better things to do than make your life easier.
I want to touch on a couple of speeches that were , in my opinion, a waste of time…..Bloomberg and the new VP candidate Kaine….
First Bloomberg made his speech……
Perhaps in an effort to fight fire with fire, the Democratic National Convention welcomed its own New York billionaire to the stage Wednesday night. As a former Republican and current Independent, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg came out against parts of the Democratic platform but fully against Donald Trump, Fortune reports. “Trump says he wants to run the nation like he’s run his business,” Bloomberg said. “God help us. I’m a New Yorker, and I know a con when I see one.” He brought up Trump’s history of lawsuits and bankruptcies. “The richest thing about Donald Trump is his hypocrisy,” Bloomberg said.
Advisers tell CNN that Bloomberg was using his speech to reach out to “independents, moderates, and swing voters.” “I look at the candidate, not the party label,” he said. And while he doesn’t support everything Hillary Clinton does, Bloomberg said she’s far and away better than the alternative. “We must unite around the candidate who can defeat a dangerous demagogue,” he said.
Okay….why? His speech was a worthless waste of time…..he tried to be cute and missed….besides he has all the charm of a rattlesnake with a tooth ache.
Next was the acceptance speech for Kaine and his attempt to set the tone for the upcoming election….he walked into a brick wall….it was a yawn.
Tim Kaine introduced himself to the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night, telling the crowd he “humbly” accepted the VP nomination and giving his life story before launching some fierce attacks on Donald Trump. There were big cheers whenever the former governor switched to speaking Spanish, the Guardian reports. “Hillary Clinton and I are compañeros de alma,” he said. “We share this belief: Do all the good you can. Serve one another. That’s what I’m about. That’s what you’re about.” Kaine whose son is a Marine, said Americans should trust Clinton, and “on a personal level, as he’s serving our nation abroad, I trust Hillary Clinton with our son’s life.”
“Donald Trump has a passion,” Kaine told the crowd. “It’s himself.” Kaine slammed Trump for business failures, broken promises, and his refusal to release his tax returns, the AP reports. “Most people, when they run for president, they don’t just say ‘believe me.’ They respect you enough to tell you how they will get things done,” he said, doing a Trump impression and saying “believe me” over and over again. “”Folks, you cannot believe one word that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth,” Kaine said. “Our nation is too great to put it in the hands of a slick-talking, empty-promising, self-promoting, one-man wrecking crew.” He finished with the line: “Hillary is ready. Ready to fight, ready to win, ready to lead.”
Have you ever heard Kissinger give a speech? This guy is more sleep inducing than Kissinger.
The debate between VP candidates ought to be about as much fun as watching flies mate…..at least it may cure insomnia.
All in all the night was….well…..a night full of hot air and theatrics but my fave part was listening to the MSM gush praise all over the night and the speakers….we can sure see where their bread is buttered, huh?
Last day approaches……the big day for Hillary….
