I'm still skeptical. Not because of any "low energy" of the speakers so far, but because the focus of this DNC -- at least to me -- is supposed to be on Clinton herself, a reintroduction of Hillary Clinton to the US at large, and not just convention Bernie Bros, as a credible commander in chief. All of the words wasted about Trump after Michelle Obama's opening is a distraction from that.
It's not clear to me, given the nature of the speeches so far, what Clinton intends to do about ISIS or their refugees, or free trade, or the interminable shootings, or the obstructionism of the House GOP. Why should we vote for Clinton?
Yes, Clinton can address all of these things herself in her own speech. The danger is, though, that if she says yet another syllable about Trump, outside the fact that he comes attached with regressive GOP policy, then her speech, and the convention at large, is a failure.
I kind of agree with you in the sense that I'm tired of hearing about Trump. He keeps his face plastered all over the media enough, all by himself, and I'm getting very impatient with it and tired of the garbage he spews.
I'm afraid that Hillary
is going to mention him, although she certainly has no need to since everyone else has done a good enough job about it.
I hope she does come through as you ask and talk more about why we should elect her...not because Trump is these negative things, but because she is FOR specific goals, ideals and strategies.
But I disagree that the convention would be a failure by any means, even if Hillary isn't as crystal clear as you would like her to be on why we should vote for her. I think many people saw her in a new light. It's so easy to believe the cartoon character that has been painted about her by the GOP and the media and the rest of her detractors, but that's not the real person.
The real person has a history of working hard and getting things accomplished, and never letting up and never giving in. She is truly a remarkable person if people would take the time to see through the hype.
