Selling Past the Close

I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention and wondering if this will be the first time in history that we see a candidate’s poll numbers plunge after a convention.

...

But if you’re an undecided voter, and male, you’re seeing something different. You’re seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished.

“Negative convention bounce” has been the norm the last decade or so.

Trump changed that.

I have been waiting to say this for about 8 years:

“TANK, you liberal fascist ba$tards!”

The dust bin of history awaits you.

I'm sorry. Stuck in the hospital with insufficient motor function to shut the TV off, were you? I hate when that happens!

Clinton has no choice but to sell her gender. She’s got nothing else, even though her version of femininity is disgusting.

Clinton poll numbers will either tank or, they will barely move up!!! This was a failed convention, with a flawed and bubble message!!!

I agree with Michelle Obama’s gratitude about Clinton’s success so far, and how the country now “takes it for granted that a woman can be president.” That’s a big, big deal, and an accomplishment that you can never take away from Clinton, no matter how it all ends. I would argue – as did Michelle Obama – that Clinton already removed the glass ceiling.

I would disagree. The ceiling cracked a little when Margaret Chase Smith ran for a major party nomination, cracked some more when Geraldine Ferraro was the Dem VP candidate in '84, and completely collapsed when Hillary made it obvious that she could win a nomination in '08 if it hadn't been for Obama, and Palin became for all practical purposes the candidate to be voted for in the GOP ticket.

Also, when Obama won in '08 in large part because of his perceived race, the idea that affected-class-candidates are truly historical became muted. Fewer people care about needing a woman President because we've already had a perceived-black President, and if/when a woman becomes President, even fewer people will care about needing a Latino/a President, or a homosexual President, because the luster of newness will no longer be there.

In short, Obama did not have to sell himself, only his blackness, to get elected in '08, but Hillary has to actually sell herself as well as her womanness to get elected in '16, and that is a giant handicap for her campaign.

” if you’re an undecided voter, and male, you’re seeing something different. You’re seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished.”

A “celebration” like that doesn’t prove that it’s a fact of life if you don’t already see through it. It only appears to be a fact of life. The reality is that the ‘life’ isn’t imitating the ‘art’ and they’ll do whatever they think is necessary to try to turn that around.

I actually didn’t think the historic aspects of her nomination were over the top. I expected to see more of it, but from what I heard about the DNC convention it seems like they are trying to pivot away from the SJW aspects and reach out to whites and especially white males who have run like hell away from the democrat party. The Biden and Obozo speeches were completely disconnected to the reality of the way they have governed. The DNC has basically kicked the Bernie supporters to the curb, and by last night, with the kneepad media’s fawning coverage, the SJW protests were largely relegated to the outside of the arena. One would have had to spend their time on twitter or free republic, as I did, to see the reaction of the left wing to the outright corruption of the DNC against them.

“She’s got nothing else”

Uh, you forgot pandering to blacks and hating cops. That makes THREE things she’s got: “I have a vagina, I hate cops and I hate whitey: so vote for me, Crooked Hillary!”

The other way to look at it as that Trump numbers have gone up a lot despite negative media coverage, while the lying criminal’s number are likely to go up at least a little thanks in large part to over the top fawning and outright lies by the kneepad media.

Cankles has NOT been the one to convince Americans that a woman can be President. That’s really BS. Many OTHER women have done that over the years. All Killary has done is make it obvious that the Left has NO morals and Crime Does Pay - for now.

If anything I think Shrillary and her whole feminazi movement have set up the case that women shouldn’t have even gotten the vote. A$$holes.

Hispanic and Black men will feel the same way.

No matter how much they resent/fear/hate White men, they won't vote for Clinton.

Except for the pussies and queers, of course. Their testosterone is already suppressed.

Permanently? Nah, women are given their fair opportunity. Howevah, in their quest to be able to say a woman got nominated, they backed the worst possible choice. One whose only accomplishments were to have married Bill and losing to Obama. Women will await a more competent leader.

I look for both Bill and Hillary to die a natural death within the next 5 or 6 years. They both look like death warmed over.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of our political system.

So Obama accepted the sale and talked about other stuff. If he had dwelled on race, and his place in history, he would have risked making things worse. So he stayed quiet on race (mostly) and won.

That's not how I remember it.
