At night that guy stands in front of the sink staring at the mirror, trying to wash the Palin off.

Rachael seemed to me to be showing her distaste with a heterosexual relationship. The way she described the story …the faces she made. I kinda wish she hadn’t showed that side…

And Bill Clinton is that rare person who has the gift, the talbt to make his speeches personal. Very few people have it. Franklin Roosevelt had the characteristic. For some reason I keep readibg that HRC is stiff and doesn’t connect with people. I don’t find that at all. She is best in smaller settings. I have had the honor of two events where she was in more intiment setting and you realize she is warm and funny - I loved it when campaighning she stopped at the Senior Citizens Center and she sat down and played dominos with the residents. Humility, smarts, kindness, interested in you and humor. These are her very genuine traits.

Rachael can sometimes tweak on the PDA stuff. As for Steve Schmidt - keep in mind, a)he’s a Republican, and b)the media analysts are quietly discussing the speech among themselves while it’s going on. That means they’re pulling one another out of the immersion, repeatedly. So, yeah, to him, it seemed long. To the rest of us, the Big Dog told us a story, and like any good story teller, once he had us hooked, we followed right along the whole way, not worried about the time.

I don’t care what Rachel Maddow thought, Bill’s speech spoke to me personally. Maybe because I am his age and am married to a wonderful woman I don’t deserve, that speech connected.

You’re absolutely right…she Is waaay better in front of small groups. I listened to the clip of her with that mom group in the cab ride home tonight and it was great. I think she gets a little awkward or self conscious with the bigger crowds. Conversely, Bill might as well be in the hottub talking the bottoms off 12 playboy bunnies even when he’s in front of a packed stadium. We won’t see another like him in our lifetime haha

I am sure he has been beside himself with rage at the Hillary that Trump and the GOP image makers have sought to create for the past decades,

I found it touching, self-deprecating, and illustrative of her strength of character. An overall positive.
I consider President Clinton’s ability to step aside and focus the entirety of the speech on illustrating her strengths representative of a profound respect for her on his part.

OK, so I understand that in theory (I watched Bill Clinton tonight and don’t remember him saying ‘real’…I guess he said it at the beginning? I didn’t walk away for his speech thinking ‘real’ Hillary was a catchphrase of his and thus deserving quotes…).
In reality, not just after watching his speech, but after weeks and months and years and two decades of watching the right wing degenerate both Clintons, seeing ‘real’ (especially in quotes) before either of their names is a HUGE flag for me…because it comes across as meaning the exact opposite. So, as I said, I understand in theory, but seeing that (‘real’) after tonight struck a really bad cord with me.

Yes. Bill humanized the GOP’s “wicked witch of the west” version of Hillary in one fell swoop.

darrtown, what I’ve found is that it means that I’ve already “liked” it. If you click on the “X like” (X being the number of “likes” for the comment) it will show you who has already liked the comment and you should be there…
