(14,449 posts)I give her a break on this. I know when I speak in front of people I know, I get pretty sick before hand. It doesn't happen to me when I speak to a group of strangers at all.

(6,385 posts)Do ya blame her.
I know her dad was a commie.
I know her hubby is an asshat.
I know she's got a fluffed up resume.
I she doesn't deserve to be there.
I know she's a whole bunch of things we really dislike and her PR centric, narcissist, asshat hubby has forced her into this.
...but on this one, where she's giving a yugge televised speech in what is likely her third or fourth language...independent of the content (which will likely be abhorrent as the rest of this clusterf*ck)...natural human reaction in my book.
I did fair amount of corporate public speaking. At one point, I spoke to a group of about 6k line with another 60-70k world wide via video. It was in my first language on a topic I knew inside/out. And I was pants sh*tting scared. Not nervous but full blown breath into the bag scared and it was only 10 minutes on something trivial in the grand scheme of life.
The tech guys were like "yeah - this happens to everyone who does this meeting". LOL
So I guess I cut her some slack on this one from personal experience.

(12,693 posts)so yes I agree with everything you said. If you are not at least a little bit nervous going into a formal public speaking situation, there is something wrong with you.
I think we can totally overlook any missteps she may make.

Please, this was not about immigrants or even Mrs Trump. It WAS about Mister Trump.
