Holy fukk

Michelle Obama just gave the best speech this year.

What a contrast from the IQ sucking bull from last week.

I wonder who Michelle plagiarized this time. At the 2008 DNC convention she plagiarized Saul Alinsky.

It'a also funny how they built a four mile, unscaleable fence around the convention site to keep the disgruntled Bernie supporters at bay, but it's somehow racist to build a fence along a border to keep illegals out.

her and ann coulter should compete for longest girl-hands.

 

[mentalfloss]

I love Colbert

 

[captain morgan]

All of the Demmings are lining up to follow each other over the cliff.

... They often do that you know

 

[JLM]

Well she looked good , I found the speech uninspiring .

Exactly, Much more to do with emotions than facts and it went right "off the rails" at 3:56.

So basically she learned to read what somebody else wrote. That about sum it up?

4 brutal poll numbers that greet Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention

• By Aaron Blake, www.washingtonpost.com
• July 25th, 2016

It's common for presidential candidates to get a bump from their conventions, and two new polls Monday suggest Donald Trump did indeed get that.

But the new polls don't just show Trump's stock rising (however temporarily that may be); they also have some very bad news for Hillary Clinton and her already-declining personal image. Indeed, politically, she's doing as bad as she ever has — if not worse.

A caveat at the outset: The GOP convention was, as was to be expected, very anti-Clinton. There were chants of "lock her up" and plenty of accusations lodged against Clinton. So it's perhaps not surprising to see Clinton's numbers take a hit. But they have been steadily getting worse for months and are now basically worse than ever before.

Below, four key points:

1) 68 percent say Clinton isn't honest and trustworthy

That's according to the CNN poll, and it's her worst number on-record. It's also up from 65 percent earlier this month and 59 percent in May. The 30 percent who see Clinton as honest and trustworthy is now well shy of the number who say the same of Trump: 43 percent.

You heard that right: Trump — he of the many, many Pinocchios — now has a large lead on Clinton when it comes to honesty and trustworthiness.

The CBS poll, for what it's worth, has a similar number saying Clinton is dishonest: 67 percent.

2) Her image has never been worse

CBS showed just 31 percent have favorable views of Clinton and 56 percent have unfavorable ones. Even in Trump's worst days on the campaign trail, he has rarely dipped below a 31 percent favorable rating. Clinton has hit that number a few times, but her negative-25 net favorable rating here is tied for the worst of her campaign, according to Huffington Post Pollster.

In the CNN poll, the 39 percent who say they have a favorable view of Clinton is lower than at any point in CNN's regular polling since April 1992 — when she wasn't even first lady yet. Of course, back then, the reason just 38 percent of people liked her was because many were unfamiliar with her. At the time, 39 percent were unfavorable and 23 percent had no opinion.

Clinton's favorable rating in the CNN poll is currently 16 points net-negative. That's unprecedented in the dozens of CNN polls on her since 1992.

Gallup's new numbers on Monday — 38 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable — are also unprecedented over the course of Clinton's political career.

This also appears to be the first time ever that Clinton's image measures worse than Trump's. It does so in both polls.

3) Just 38 percent would be "proud" to have her as president

That's down from 55 percent in March 2015. Sixty percent say they would not be proud.

On this measure, she's basically on the same footing as Trump, whom 39 percent would be proud of and 59 percent wouldn't be.

4) Nearly half of Democratic primary voters still want Bernie Sanders

Clinton dispatched with Sanders and now has his endorsement, but despite 9 in 10 consistent Sanders supporters saying they'll vote Clinton in November, many of them still pine for their first love.

The CNN poll, in fact, shows 45 percent of those who voted in Democratic primaries still say they wish it was Sanders. Just 49 percent say they prefer Clinton — down from 55 percent a month ago.

It could not have been because of her honesty so I'm suspicious about the criteria you may have weighed her material against.

What was best about it? It was mediocre, but she neglected to add any compelling reasons why Hillary should be president of the biggest bureaucracy in the world. Oh yeah, she showed determination at every thing she did. So does a lifer in Sing Sing when he thinks he has a chance for parole. I would rate that speech at a C+ for a grade 8 student.

Where is hillary, bernie is busy sucking up, as MHz asserts michelle reads well affirming her higher edumication and colbert too affirms his ability to deliver script writers text with faux passion. That hillary is religated to the bench as her pinch hitters go to the plate is understandable, nasty hackers/whistle blowers and bernie fans don't seem to respect the clinton dyna$ty. Mega pressure now on hillarys' scripters to somehow create enough spin to counter these non conformist forces.

When does Clinton lay down her line of bs is what I wanna know.

Classy lady.. very smart, Harvard Grad.

Thank you MentalFloss

Being black and female.. means Michelle got highly preferential treatment for admittance from Harvard's affirmative action programs for race and gender. She might be very smart and classy. Unfortunately one of the consequences of these programs is we'll never really know how many better qualified white males were relegated behind her in the cue to meet quotas (if any). But that puts these Ivy League degrees for designated 'minorities' under a cloud of suspicion of political manipulation. Much of the mystique and credibility of being a graduate of Harvard is lost as a result.. perhaps unfairly, perhaps not.
