But they are bandying about the words "weak" in comparison to Trump.

The media really think they are the kingmakers.

PBS/NPR have used the words:
Weak,
One note emotionally, and not the right note.
Pandering to all groups.

The talking heads are a real shitshow.

What matters is how the voters perceived the speech.

This was an amazing convention.

She's more in to the "service" part of public service than the "public" part.

She said there wasn't a lot in there to appeal to Republicans disaffected with Trump, especially as compared with Obama's speech that did.
