How could anybody hate that speech? Obvious Fox hates it b/c Clinton, but MSNBC? Are they also wondering why Bill didn't walk up there and read the Starr report?

As I said, it was not a modern speech at all and they probably couldn't work with it

They thought it focused on himself too much and was like a wedding speech that went on too long. Maddow specifically didn't like the first half about him chasing a girl around.

They were expecting him to vaporize Republicans but instead he told a real nice story about a girl he met back in '71 whose spent her life making the lives of other people better.

Literally all you need to do is compare to Ivankas speech about her spouse to see what a loving demolishing it was.

My take (disclaimer: I'm stupid):

Networks didn't like it because they're they're looking at it from too technical of a viewpoint. I would imagine they think every speech should end with the crowd riled up like I Have A Dream.

They should be judging it in terms of what the speech set out to accomplish. Bill set out to undo the Republican narrative of Clinton as a cold bitch and give Democrats a reason to believe Hillary's words moving forward. I think he did that exceedingly well.

no you got it more or less.

Let's not forget Clinton was in the 'first lady' slot. This speech traditionally ISN'T supposed to be some barn burner that leaves people chanting, it's supposed to be a very heartfelt talk about why the person you love is the best choice for the country. People looking at this expecting something to 'examine' are coming at it wrong.

Although apparently Michelle hates it in DC and wants to move back to Chicago sooo not sure how likely that is to happen.
