Never "over-sell". Leave them wanting more... not wondering if it will EVER end.

Keeping a speech between 5 and 10 minutes long is a goal for effective campaign messaging.

Long-winded rallies are a specialty of idiot Trump. It doesn't make him a better leader.
For what it's worth Biden had to hurry off to a rally in Kansas City.

(3,256 posts)8. 7 minutes of a calm, positive message showing empathy, decency and competence
is superior to hours of yelling, finger wagging and waving hands.

(7,284 posts)12. Good. Short, sweet, and to the point.
I certainly don't need an hour-long stump speech with the same stuff over and over. Or gawd-forbid, a Trumpian multi-hour rant.
Get out there, pump up the troops and GTFO.

(32,640 posts)20. Seven minutes more than Bernie spent in Selma on March 1.
55 years ago demonstrators were attacked as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. The attack is now known as Bloody Sunday. Its credited with sparking the passage of the voting rights act that same year after brutal images of the march shocked the nation into action. MSNBCs Joy Reid reports on the significance of demonstration and the presidential candidates who are in attendance.

(18,242 posts)25. Political stump speechs are generally between 5 and 10 minutes.
Between five and ten minutes is an actual goal for effective campaign messaging.

this is a more diverse crowd than those that Bernie has been attracting. Does anyone know?

as the population of St. Louis.
