Many wondered how Hillary Clinton could deliver a speech with
the power of all those who proceeded her. It may have been a surprise but it
shouldn’t have been.
She went religious. Anyone who has read her biographies,
including the book by Watergate writer Carl Bernstein, would have known that
unlike Donald Trump the Democrat has always been a strong Christian and
Methodist.
Hillary said her late mother had taught her “I learned the
words of our Methodist faith: ‘Do all the good you can, for all the people you
can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can.’”
She, and other speakers, made so many references to religion
viewers might have been mistaken if they thought they were watching Ted Cruz.
And TV viewers who were interviewed, especially Hispanics,
made clear they were thrilled to hear that God would be part of the campaign.
“Conservative Christians no longer agree on how to vote
their collective conscience in America.
“To liberals, this group has acted for 40 years with
incredible political discipline so often, and with such force, that it seems
like a single unit moving in lockstep. But in populous, rural southern
Louisiana, a decidedly various body of believers representative of much of
American Christendom argues about how to proceed. As the ghost of Ronald Reagan
loosens its grip on the party, a vital segment is directionless. Many are
solidly opposed to Hillary Clinton; many more are disgusted with Donald Trump,”
reported the Guardian.
It was hard to see how Trump’s TV threat to punch some the
Democratic Convention speakers seemed like what Christ would do.
Speaking in Des Moines Trump said he wanted to “hit” some of
them “so hard their heads would spin.”
“Trump isn’t identifying any of them. But he tells a crowd
in Iowa that one certain speaker – Trump describes him as “a little guy” who he
used to work with – particularly bothered him.
Might that be former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg? He
had some dealings with Trump – a New York real estate developer – as the city’s
leader.
“By the way, Bloomberg is listed as 5-foot-8.
Trump earlier Thursday said “a lot of lies are being told”
about him in the speeches at the Democratic National Convention this week.
Although he is shorter than Trump he has many times more
money, one pundit said perhaps 100 times. No one can be sure because Trump
won’t release his taxes.
Chelsea Clinton gave a speech that brought tears as she
introduced her mother.
No surprise there. But the Democrats brought people on the
stage whose family members had in Afghanistan and Iraq. One, a Muslin, won the
Medal of Honor fighting to defend his unit. Most, including the medal winner
died.
A panel of generals said Trump would be a threat to American
security.
With dozens of people, big and small, talking about how
Hillary helped them or worked for them, including former President Jimmy
Carter, it was cleared the Russian-based campaign of lies against her had been
very successfully.
For lies, none could top Trump claming he never met Russian
President Putin and didn’t know him. MSNBC showed a video of him bragging they
were buddies.
The TV ratings for Trump’s Cleveland convention were so bad
he was distancing himself from it. Many leading Republicans had refused to
attend, attemting the government of Ohio himself.
Trying to explain her demeanor and why she can’t be the
candidate TV wants. She said my goal is service, not publicity.
