This is the post in which I bite my tongue...

...about the horrible, pandering, insincere mess that is Hillary's current speech. It looks as if she memorized it good enough, but she's not actually talking to people, she is performing.

So shoot me. I'll still vote for her in November if that what it comes to. But she's not doing herself any favors with this scripted made-for-tv long-form commercial.

Sorry.

Disagree. She's laying out a plan, not waving her arms around livetohike Feb 2016 #2

So that's your measure...arm waving and finger wagging? Atman Feb 2016 #3

and wagging her fingers at people. So refreshing to see a calm and deliberate
speech addressing problems with solutions.

I'd rather have a sincere arm waver and finger pointer than a canned load of bullshit.

Let the hair back, take the jacket off. Be real, don't look like you're on the set of a commercial. All her speech is missing is some John Phillips Sousa music, or fife and drums, in the background.

I thought the portrayal of her on SNL was perfect! She is beyond disingenuous. Remember the lie about being fired upon? Remember her being "dead broke"? I could go on and on...
