Unlike the Republican Convention which was filled with fat, bald oldies with long, boring monologues, the Democratic Convention at Philadelphia was full of glamor.
In Hollywood, you have Democrats and more Democrats. You can feel its flavor at the venue of the Convention, where Movie Stars, feminist in person or by message conveyed from the tinsel town marked their presence.
Bill Clinton's speech at the Convention was cool, commanding and explainatory. He has this uncanny ability to tell a story, explain a policy, deeply connecting to the audience, who responded with a standing ovation. Love him or hate him, the telegenic ex Commander-in-Chief is a real charmer in chief. Like Kishore Kumar, he is very versatile, an excellent communicator in all kinds of podium or platforms, be it a stump speech at a public meeting or one to one tete a tete in a Town Hall format.
In contrast Hillary looked plastic, bit nervous too and stale, whereas her husband, a natural leader is still evergreen. She was savoring her Pyrrhic victory over Bernie Sanders, who would have easily defeated her, if he was 64 instead of 74 years old. Didn't here anything new from Hillary in her acceptance speech - policy or vision wise.
Time Kaine, Hillary's VP nominee, gave an outstanding speech. Sometimes I wonder, why he didn't run in Presidential Primaries, which he had a very good chance of winning.
But the best speech given in the entire cycle of Convention, both Republican and Democratic, was by President Obama. The body language of the usually cool and nonchalant Obama showed aggression, his electrifying speech drew thunderous applause.
Attacking Trump time and again, an unusual move by an outgoing President who usually though campaign for their own party nominee, usually don't go directly against the opponent nominee. Obama was virulent when he threw punches at Trump.
Bill and Barack, the two two-term Presidents were the most effective speakers on Podium of either conventions. Both are natural politicians, grew without the support of their respective biological fathers (Clinton's father died before he was born, Obama's Kenyan born dad hardly had any affinity towards his son, took to alcohol after returning to Kenya and crashed himself to death).
Both had turbulen, unsettling early life but worked hard to climb the ladders of success, ending up being 8 years in White House, arguably the most powerful position on surface of earth. Both have an inspiring life story. Wish Hillary Clinton, who isn't a natural politician, was half charismatic as both.
Now Hillary will bask for a few days with the conventional bump coming out of the Convention. As the dust settles down, next 3 months will see some hectic campaigning, interspersed with 3 Presidential debates, mano to wo(mano) this time.
