I thought that was going to happen. There is method to how he presented that speech, but I knew that some people would get up in their heads about him speaking on himself, and not hearing it as his life and times with Hillary.

I dunno. I definitely hear where Maddow is coming from, but if his goal is to humanize his wife, cut through the decades of smear that have caricaturized her in the public's eye, I don't think it's bad form to begin by discussing his relationship with her.

Right, this is the lens I viewed the speech from. Bill was up there for the first half describing this great woman he fell in love with which humanized her against the hate machine that's been trying to take her down for two decades. Then he spent the second half of the speech explaining exactly how much impact she's had in shaping the country and finding solutions in the face of problems.

I thought it was masterfully done but I suppose from a strictly feminist POV I can kind of understand the criticism.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Y'all: What has Hillary even done???

Bill:

Not letting this die. TOO good.

 

[Shard]

Just as long Alicia doesn't sing Girl on Fire we should be fine.

Captain America approves.

I don't mean to be that guy. But we have no data about everyone on earth. There are plenty of cooler people that exist right now, that do much cooler things. Doctors, nurses, mothers, etc. So it's really not fair to say he's the coolest human on the planet.

[A Human Becoming]

That was a cute effect.

 

[faceless007]

The messaging of the convention is just so on point. It's about recognizing that yes, our country may be better in truly significant ways than it once was, but we still have very serious problems to tackle and that recognizing that fact, and moving to fix them, is in fact the highest form of love for your country. The opposing message -- that our greatest time was at some unspecified point in the past when we weren't encumbered by things like laws, treaties, and diplomacy, and it's been all catastrophically downhill since then, and so we just need to revert to that time and everything will be fine -- is so myopic and illusory I just can't fathom its appeal.

 

[whyamihere]

Bill needed to give the most convincing personal testimony about Hillary to the public.

He did that says the Trumps could only dream of.

It sagged a bit in the middle, but by the end, man. That was unreal.

That's how I see it now (watching the start for the first time). It may have gone on a few minutes too long but it's no biggie. Like you said it's humanizing her from his perspective.

Not like he can talk about what Hillary was thinking at that time.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Woah.


That is how you make an entrance.
