I'm expecting Spicy Latina to have a few Roosevelt tweets after that opening speech.

Meh, rest of the speech was still solid, by my standards.

ALTHOUGH she had been reserved from doing so following the entire debate, as an act of class, so she might show that side of her again. Who knows?

Something that I thought might be interesting-the states of the Convention speakers.

Red means that a Republican speaker is from there, blue, a Democrat. Dark blue and Dark red are for two speakers from that state. Purple is an even number-light red and light blue are if both have speakers from that state, but one party has more.

Pretty good speech except for that one sentence. That's going to be exploited. But mostly solid in the other places

I guess. My point was that although they can run those ads, it'll get cut short by them cutting out the very next portion of the sentence, which I'll see to it that Maxwell does in his next Senate ad.

Yep. Depending on the diction it could work for audio but they'll probably just have one of those silly floating quote-boxes. You know the type, those annoying ads with the worried female voice?

What do Democrats dream of? According to the DCCC chairwoman, "Massively increased taxes"

And then whatever other junk they throw in there

Campaign ads for you. That's more a Trump route, and statistics have shown that his ads actually played a very little role in his campaign. It might or might not play out the same.

Also, increased taxes have always been a Democratic policy. That's not a very new thing for them to roll out, though it'll probably work on the target demographic.

Yeah, but its wording. You say "Making the rich pay their fair share" or "Fair taxes on the 1%" or something, you don't say "massively increased taxes". It's all politicking, that whole polished shine and neutered word choice. People love "fair taxes". People don't love "massively increased taxes".

Well, the truth's the truth. I mean, would you not describe 100% INCOME TAX on top-earners as 'massive?' But hey, the flak will probably be lessened by the other speeches, so I'm not overly concerned.
