...that's the voice of the Sanders revolution?

Smh.

See:

Made-up "Bernie Supporters" attack John Lewis (real ones didn't and David Brock knows it)

Kissinger is Great
Wall Street is Great

But I guess it doesn't show ''conservative voting youth''

No actually do a web search on him.

he said Ms Clinton would make a good second choice, far better than any of the Republicans.

But he added: “When I listen to Mr Sanders, the hairs stick up on the back of my neck.”

I noticed that HRC's website left out he wasn't changing his primary vote. But all I care about is that everyone vote for whoever the nominee ends up being.

Don't sell this kid short, please. It's great that he's looking for answers for himself, even if he decides to support a different candidate than I support.

THEY LEFT THAT OUT.

.... they didn't say he HAD changed his primary vote. The Independent article makes it clear she merely persuaded him that she wasn't evil incarnate, that he will still vote for her over a Republican if that's what the choice is in November..

The blurb merely said that he had considered voting for the other side or staying home if his candidate lost, then that he actually heard Hillary talk and that she had many of the same values.. And he could understand why many would want to vote for her. Not that he wasn't still going to strongly advocate for his preference in the primaries.

They may have implied it by saying that he "changed his opinion of Hillary", but... yes, the art of the politician is to be able to talk like an Aes Sedai.

Thanks so much for posting.

K & R!

Bernie's blustering, spittle flying, arms flaying, repetitive, empty memes start grating. The continued rhetoric about all the woes, without any comprehensive fixes, because so much negativity and the message starts to lose it's luster. The lack of substance and reality and workability becomes clear.

if he is the Dem nominee?

If you should happen to notice it, would you please let him borrow your frog?

I actually knew what was going on, and could never be swayed by an opposing candidate. I really can't stand millennials and their look.

But her tone can be off. And the tone sometimes conveys a kind hyper defensiveness.

At times, she strikes just the right tone. But the end of it, she's sound much less defensive and much more surefooted. But she starts out sounding like the earnest senior class president type who is so offended that certain people are attacking her integrity, that she gets way defensive, way too loud. She needs to project a larger, more impervious and self-assured, even somewhat bemused tone, with enough hints of steely determination beneath that you come away saying, now that's one tough and smart lady.

She hit it just right on Rachel Maddow's show the other day, when she said in a much more hushed voice, like she was letting you in on a secret, that they are doing it "because they are afraid of me." She needs to strike that kind of tone much more often.

She was better in the debate yesterday on this score, by the way.

Obviously, she is not the natural at this sort of thing that her husband is. That would be hard to top.

So please, drop it with critiques of her voice and the people working sound not doing the right job. I have ran the sound board for plays, speeches, debates, etc, and the feedback wasn't her fault (and you saw how fast it vanished once the person working the board woke up, despite no change in volume or passion).

Reminds me of something from Correct the Record, but instead of showing Republicans shouting (which the CTR ad did) here's part of Bernie's post-Iowa speech. I am not saying he's screaming like Republicans, but he speaks with a range of volumes, which is appropriate given human beings have a range of emotions.

It's a matter of talking one on one to a young student, like you are talking into a bullhorn at a rally. And it's a matter of not seeming to feel comfortable in her skin. She starts out, talking to the crowd, not showing any signs of humor, like she is not really addressing this particular person in a conversational tone. But the end she is in a much more relaxed frame, much more conversational, and has lightened it up a bit.

... if you want me to, I can surely find videos of Bernie speaking passionately in Q&As too... isn't how to make friends with or influence me. (I deliberately chose Iowa over New Hampshire for a speech I remembered to have a wide range of volumes, because he won NH outright and being excited about that wouldn't be fair to use for comparison.)

He is completely unmodulated. He always sound hectoring and preachy, and way too loud, even when talking one on one. He's terrible at this. Not sure why he gets a pass.

I do radio in my spare time. Talk to a lot of live audiences too. Have a lot of stage experience. Each of them needs a coach and very badly. But Hillary is definitely getting better at matching her tone to the context. He seems pretty much unteachable.

IMHO there is nothing at all wrong with politicians who try to master as a pupil more of the art of stagecraft. can't really say that in public, cause people with think studying stage craft is somehow a sign of inauthenticity. But that shows you how stupid people can be.

... but the reason it gets a pass is the same reason this CTR ad was pretty good:

one of the things many politicians can't seem to get in their heads is that when they've got like a $10,000 mike in their faces, with awesome base gain, and an excellent sound engineer on hand, they don't actually need to try to project. Just talk and let the mike do the projecting.

Simple things like that make you sound better and aren't at all inauthentic.

Btw, I need to clarify since I did link to the CTR ad before Googling one "shut up":

Bernie IS in one of those, but his reason for shouting down that particular heckler should counter any allegations he doesn't plan to stand for Israel, a nasty line of attack that seems to have actually originated from a questionable article on The Forward. (The original article is preserved in Google Webcache, and the edits to both the headline and the update about the denial can be compared. Another, more experienced writer for The Forward admitted it was not a great article in the first place.

The sloppiness of the original article's writing style made it difficult to tell if Paul Hodes, first Jewish representative from NH and a known Hillary supporter, even knew he was talking to the press, or if his statements were merely his and his wife's personal opinion about Bernie after a leading question from an unbadged reporter not identifying himself as a member of the press, was deliberately approaching people he noticed may have been Jewish, too, at the post-primary event, with those concerns, or what.

But yeah, honestly I'd rather see our candidates too busy immersing themselves in the issues to be worried so much about their delivery of their speeches to get vocal coaching... at least until after the primaries are over and they can just drag the coach along the campaign trail.

More than one "I used to support Bernie but he disgusts me so I switched to Clinton" and its companion "I used to support Bernie but I was won over by the Magical Light of Hillary."

Hillary was clearly addressing people who consider staying at home or "letting the whole thing bern" by voting Republican if they don't get Bernie.



Now, of course, if Mr. Lovell feels he was misrepresented today, I hope he speaks out.

All the silly damage-control rollout promised it would be, of course.
