They're not good. They never really have been good. And it's extremely disheartening to see that after all this time she hasn't improved in the slightest.

I'm not trying to piss people off, I'm trying to have respect for the truth here. I agree with everything she said. I support everything she said. I'm not talking about WHAT she said. I'm talking about HOW she said it.

It was robotic. It was mostly monotone. She was reading off of a piece of paper like it was the first time she read it. In short: It sucked.

And if you think it doesn't matter, you're delusional. In politics, delivery matters more than the content. This is why people voted for George W. Bush over Al Gore. Is George W. Bush a great speaker? Of course not. But he was "down homey" and "relateable" and all that other BULLSHIT that matters to the general voting population. He was the guy "you'd have a beer with" while Al Gore was stiff, robotic, uninspiring.

Hillary Clinton comes off as phoney and untrustworthy when she speaks to a large crowd. I AM NOT SAYING THAT SHE IS PHONEY OR UNTRUSTWORTHY. I'm saying that's how she COMES OFF, and it fucking matters. WE are not the same as the average voter out there. We are the base. We're going to support our candidate because we're paying attention to issues and care about what they are saying, not how they are saying it.

THEY, the American people, all they care about is delivery. They vote for who they like. They vote for the one who "feels" trustworthy and true. And that comes from the way a candidate delivers a speech. Hillary Clinton needs to work on this NOW. I'm sure she can get there. It's sad that she hasn't gotten there after all this time.

This is constructive criticism. This is honesty. You can choose to live in a bubble and say Hillary Clinton is great no matter what, or you can be real. If you're being real, you can't honestly say she did a good job today.

EDIT
I'm going to make a prediction. Could be wrong. But my prediction is this: Her numbers are going to take a hit after this speech. Let's see if they do a poll within a timely fashion and see what happens. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I'm going with it.
