Hillary came out looking very presidential, and the whole speech was serious, sedate, and non-gimmicky. The energy in the arena was crackling off the screen and off the charts. Everything was robust and not jerky.
Great convention. As much as idiot journalists were trying to create scandal, there was none. Everybody did their best. Even the balloons fell in a more organized and normal way than at the RNC.
Good speech, she did great.
She did spend too much time on Trump. I think this stuff should be for her campaign surrogates and her VP, who traditionally assumes the attack-dog status in presidential campaigns.
Disliked that the only time Israel-Palestine was brought up in these four days was a single throwaway line about supporting Israel. Well, yes, we know that Israel is an ally, but would it have killed her to acknowledge Palestinian suffering under the occupation? Just a few words. She’s on the right of George fucking Bush on this issue, which is troubling.
Nice shoutout to Bernie and his movement.
Liked her outfit. She was radiating.

The Jewish vote will be decisive in Florida and New York. How many states do you think the Palestinian vote hinges on?
Come on, at least give Hillary credit for being a calculating, shrewd politician.

And the Muslim vote will go all the way to Clinton, no matter what, so you’re right on this.

American Jews under the age of 45 are all pro-palestinian. And besides, a Jew who votes Trump after everything that happened is lost to the world as it is.

Thank you, I didn’t know that. This is not like that in Québec.

Hey, Ukraine wasn’t mentioned either. But it’s not a time to get picky.
