133. She's loud. Never stops for a breath. Talks too quickly. It's truly distracting.

She's not a good speaker. I end up paying more attention to HOW she talks (and how freaking annoying it is) rather than what it is she's trying to say.

Thank GOODNESS she was scrubbed from the Democratic convention speaker's list. What an embarrassment that would have been, in my opinion. Maybe with some lessons in deportment and public speaking she could learn to improve her demeanor, and to get people to actually listen to what she's trying to say, rather than immediately go on defense, or just shield themselves from the flurry of shouting and words.

Ugh.
