How Hillary blew her big moment

Well, Hillary Clinton took the stage after four days of Democratic triumph — the party staged what was even to these conservative eyes and ears the best, tightest, most interesting convention of our time — and pretty much stunk up the joint.

Worse than the Bernie Fart-In?
Worse than the Circus?
Worse than the 76ers??

I am frankly stunned that they did not pull a last-minute switcheroo.

Democrat prospects would be better with virtually ANY other candidate.

Shows you how completely the Clintons have bought/compromised/blackmailed that party.

Those of us who felt like puking any time we tuned in missed the greater spectacle.

Their goal was to inject as much estrogen and feeling into the political discourse as possible, and to suppress testosterone, realism and logic.

And, they succeeded in spectacular fashion.

They were CLEARLY targeting the dem base of single women, minorities, government workers and SJW's. They walked away from married women and white men.

Since they made no sustained effort to reach out to Independents, married women or white men it appears they fear losing some of their core constituency to Trump.

Or, they are now confident that the demographic changes of the last 25 years have now given them a clear majority with their core alone.

I didn’t watch Hillary because I’ve heard enough from her for a lifetime already. lol But I did watch a small part of Chelsea’s speech. Oh my goodness! Her cadence was horrible! Same thing, same inflection for whatever she said over and over.

Great analysis, but the MSM can’t seem to find anything wrong with her speech.

The music I heard was awful. They could, at least, have selected Grateful Dead music so some of their voters would have somethings to be grateful for.

For the Gore and Bernie fans, a perfect theme for her campaign to snow them, they could have offered

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

We’re not the only ones who noticed her lifting lines from deTocqueville and/or her husband’s speech:

The speech was poor. RT pointed out she plagiarized at least one major sentence.

The VP candidate Tim Kaine does look deranged. In the video with Bill Clinton asleep it looked like Tim Kaine wanted to be at the bar then having to listen to Hillary Clinton.

Kaine strikes me as someone who wouldn't be allowed at the bar unless his wife gave him permission.
