Was that one of the greatest speeches in history?

[sniffa]

Poll question: Was that one of the greatest speeches in history?

Of course, I'm biased, but what does DU think? Was HRC's speech one of the greatest ever?

[gabby garcia]

1. didn't watch.

yawn.

[Liberal Veteran]

2. That wasn't even the one of the greatest speeches of the last 24 hours.

[mcctatas]

6. I think you forgot to add...

given by a democratic candidate in West Virginia ;)

[DAGDA56]

13. on a Tuesday...in May

[goclark]

8. It was not the greatest speack during the time that she spoke

It was :boring:

[goclark]

12. It was

:boring:

[high density]

3. I've seen parrots on YouTube give better speeches.

My God.

[City Lights]

4. Other: I'm not watching teevee. nt

[Coexist]

5. I still haven't recovered enough to opine

But the blind man next to me can now see.

[rug]

7. It was an apt speech for a 30% win.

[Raine]

9. Huh?

:boring: oh ... :thumbsdown:

[newmajority]

10. Mike Malloy carried about the first two minutes of the speech

that was more than enough for me. :puke:

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. It was the bestest greatly wonderfulnest speech of all times

In Terry's warped mind. I think he is on coke.

No mention of the caucuses once again.

[Swamp Rat]

19. I think he licks toads.

:D :hi:

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. Toads from Central America should be on his

licking cuisine.

I've never seen him that wired.

[me b zola]

20. He reminds me of a tweaker I worked with a few years back

Every time I see Terry and his insane theatrics, I think of the tweaker guy.

[xxqqqzme]

14. other - didn't listen, don't care.

[bigwillq]

15. I didn't watch.

I am at work. I may catch it on the replays later tonight.

[sniffa]

21. Eh

As a speech that didn't have that build-up, it was kinda, almost, near, okay. As a speech with that kinda build-up............

[Liberal Veteran]

24. It WOULD have been a great speech except for one thing went wrong....

.....the guy that was supposed to score enough pot to vent through the ventilation shafts to give the speech the extra little kick was got so stoned he forget to open the HVAC intakes beside the barbeque grill full of weed.

[bigwillq]

30. I know.

I heard it was less than thrilling. It depends what time I get home later, I may catch it on the replays. I am at work now and then going to get some drinks. I am not going to ruin my night out by trying to get home and watch her speak.

[dano81818]

16. oh thank goodness you gave the "paying off the debts" option

the only one that matters

[Tribetime]

17. Is my vision/hearing fading or was that MLK reincarnated

[crimsonblue]

18. Ad Clintonum...

You can't declare a speech as the greatest ever before the speech, and you yourself (or your surrogates) cannot claim it is. MLK was not clammering his Dream speech was great. Lincoln wasn't gushing about the Gettysburg Address. jesus christ... I got a new term for doing this shit-- Ad Clintonum... It means your speech automatically sucks.

[kid a]

23. hey sniffa...whats it like out there outside of ignoreland?

just curious

is it safe?

[sniffa]

28. I'm not outside of it, really

There's a good number who are off, but that's for an entirely different reason. One of those went back on tonight though. :hi:

[invictus]

25. Hillary should pay her debts with her $109+ million and stop trying to con money out of hard-working

people.

[Ice-9]

26. "It was ok. Not great, not awful."

It wasn't bad at all, but McAuliffe oversold it. He's a pretty savvy guy, so I don't know why he did that. If he had just let it come out of nowhere, and let it been a surprise, I think it would have been much better received. You're supposed to *lower* expectations, not raise them.

[Liberal Veteran]

27. Yeah. I think the tactic was just to try to get people to tune in.

Of course, that's only half the battle. She didn't deliver the the kind of speech that might make one rethink their position.

[billyoc]

29. Best speech in the whole gymnasium. nt
