2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI just listened to Sec. Clinton's presser in NYC - DailyKOS
...held at the end of her brainstorming session with a bi-partisan group of national security experts, including two former Secretaries of Homeland Security, Dem. Janet Napolitano and Repub. Michael Chertoff.
I have a major takeaway.
She was talking calmly, and was in total command of the material she was discussing.
She came across as reassuring, confident with not a hint of bluster.
As I watched, it occurred to me that this is the perfect contrast, perhaps in the debate, to the bluster and bombast of her Republican opponent.
He rants and raves. He taunts.
She responds calmly, with confidence, and points out his b . s. (and that does not stand for baloney slicing).
Even with a live audience, I think it would be incredibly effective.
And I have an over/under on how long before during the first debate Trump goes over the line with what and how he says something. It will not go beyond 30 minutes. - DailyKOS
Madam President, if we can make it happen!
