It was the talk of somebody who's at 1% in the polls and knows he's not going to get any higher. It was the talk of somebody who wants to stay on the good side of HRC so that she'll name him to her Cabinet in a couple of years. It was all about "we, we, this group of people up here." Nothing about "I want to be President because...." Nothing about "You should vote for me instead of Sanders and HRC because..." <br /><br />If it was a nominating or seconding speech for HRC at the convention, then yeah, it would have been decent. But as a campaign speech for a guy who's spending a ton of somebody else's money, I think it was terrible. And FWIW the polls agree with me - the vast majority of Americans think Marty did poorly and the speech was meh, at best. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
