In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton: Trump is 'temperamentally unfit' to be president [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)She should speak from her heart, from notes, but not from a transcript of her speech. She can read a speech when she talks to groups of people on some occasions, but not when she is campaigning for public office.
People don't think she is authentic because when she reads her speeches, she is NOT authentic.
She was a lawyer. Surely she did not read to a jury or a judge.
She needs to show herself and not her prepared statements to voters if she is going to win over Trump.
It sounds especially phony when someone who is not a trained comedian reads jokes. It's just not going to win the general election.
Does Trump read his speeches?
No. He doesn't have to, and he doesn't.
People are not listening to political speeches JUST for the content. They are listening to get to know what the character and personality is of the speaker.
Hillary's biggest problem is that people don't like her. One of the things she could do to change that is to stop reading her speeches. She needs to get in front of a huge crowd of thousands of people and be herself. If she can't do that, she should not be running because she will have an uphill fight all the way. It will make her bitter and angry and people will like her even less.
I'm a woman. It has nothing to do with gender.
