I was listening from the next room as Eastwood began his speech and it didn’t SOUND really good. Then I went to SEE it, and the visual of the empty chair and teleprompter, with the ‘interview’ was actually a bit of genius.
AND, most important, everyone is talking about it today. Like it or not, the message sure got across. Between youtube and other ‘social media’ probably 20x as many people have now seen the Eastwood speech as actually watched the convention last night. That constitutes a very effective speech.
The thing the really helped this rocket into the viral-sphere was the W.H. tweet. Thank you Mr Preezy, we couldn’t have done it with you (or your chair bwaaaaaaahahahaaha!)
