>> Breaking down Michelle Obama's speech a
little bit more.
She went and explained going high again, it
was word salad.
That was probably the worst part of the speech.
We should go high because we're better and
wiser that we get more and more but then you
know let's make sure that we fight hard anyway,
not really mean anything.
Is a member of ours on our site, he said go
high Michelle, but higher mean others to do
the dirty work for you, I'm happy to go low
and fight these maggots on their low level.
>> So I agree with 71 more than I agree with
Michelle Obama.
On the other hand, she had two really powerful
images, and that were helpful of Biden.
She talked about his grief after having lost
family members, and that's always compelling.
And she said he knows how to deal with an
empty chair, and it kind of set a contrast
for me between that weird shtick Clint Eastwood
did four years ago with the empty chair versus
the powerful imagery of a family member lost
in their empty chair.
So I thought that was really powerful, and
then she said that Biden's career is a testament
to getting back up.
And I think that's true, I think that's powerful
and is a good, at least testament to Biden's
character in that sense.
And I could relate to that, and a lot of people
can relate to getting back up after getting
knocked down, so those two parts were great
in her speech.
>> Yeah, and I think, like pointing out that
they did a good job of occasionally going
back to how devastating the death toll has
been from COVID.
There was that great sort of video that was
playing, and I expect that we'll see more
of that.
But when you take that, and then you combine
it with the fact that they can rightly say
that Joe Biden has always been very compassionate
towards people, especially those who have
lost people, he's had devastating losses of
his own.
You combine it with that, If you could also
then combine it with and he has the best possible
plan for making sure that as few people deal
with needless loss through being uninsured,
under-insured, medical bankruptcies, all of
that, he's gonna totally remake our healthcare
industry to be what it needs to be to address
the current crises and those that are coming.
That would be such a winning pitch in the
middle of the worst pandemic we've had in
a century, but it's just not there.
It's the situation is there, he's got the
background of empathy in this area, and what
does he wanna do?
He wants to tweak the current system a little
bit, strengthen the ACA a little bit, and
that's really it, that's not the dynamic pitch
that it could be to really like bring this
election home.
And when she was talking about it, it just
seems like such a missed opportunity that
he doesn't have the policy to go along with
the other components of this.
>> Yeah, it's just not who Biden is, it's
not who the Democratic Party is at this point,
I wish it were, but we lost the primary, and
so the establishment is one, and they are
still ruled by the donor class, that's just
a fact.
And nothing that said at this convention will
change that fact.
And so, at the same time when Michelle Obama
talks about how Presidential Elections will
tell us who we are, that's definitely true.
And we elected our super-ugly guy, I mean
his character last time around, and I hope
to God that's not who we are as Americans.
And so you could say, hey, Biden's just got
to clear the lowest bar in American political
history, that's true, and can he do that?
Yes.
Is that enough?
No.
But will we take it?
Of course, of course we'll take it, we've
got to get rid of the man-child who has no
empathy and who shows.
The ugliest side of America.
And finally, when Michelle Obama said, you
know, I've been there and being president
is really hard and it is complicated and nuanced
and very complex.
She paused for a second, and I thought she
might, and I knew she wasn't gonna say it,
but I was rooting for her to say it.
And a guy this dumb can't handle it.
I would have loved it, it would have been
like soothing to my soul.
>> And I feel that message came across.
>> Yeah, I know, and later she said he's in
above his head.
And I know when he goes low, she goes high,
I get it, right?
>> Yeah.
>> But the reason why it would have been cathartic
is after four, five years now, Donald Trump
calling every woman dumb and nasty and calling
every African American and every minority
dumb and lazy, I can't stand it anymore.
And if a wonderful, intelligent, charismatic,
African American woman called him dumb to
his face.
It would have been great, it would have been
great.
Michelle, you still have time.
Okay, so
>> That would undercut the staying high thing.
>> I know, I know, but Michelle.
>> You're dumb and you're nasty and I hate
you.
>> You owe it to our catharsis as a nation
to say it was.
Maybe after the election.
