Matthew Boyle22 Aug 20241/2
Matt Boyle notes each speaker and what a fucking disaster Kamabla and the Convention was.
"While the rest of America probably snoozes out on the Democrats as their boring convention drags on, those of us who work in the business will follow the program until its very bitter end, with news and analysis throughout the night."
• UPDATE 11:17 p.m. ET: It appears as though that’s it, and the DNC is officially over as the balloon drop happens now.What a massive letdown–a terrible speech from Harris and no surprise appearancefrom Taylor Swift or Beyonce. This was the worst night of the convention by far after three other bad nights for Democrats.They are in trouble as a party.
• UPDATE 11:14 p.m. ET:Harris is done finally. One cannot help but think if she is this bad at delivering a speech on the teleprompter, how bad will she be when she is off the teleprompter? This was a train wreck for Democrats.They just hitched their wagon to a crashing train.
• UPDATE 11:09 p.m. ET:Harris keeps waving her hands around wildlywhile she is speaking in a very odd way.
• UPDATE 11:04 p.m. ET: Now she’s off on some tangent about Ukraine and Russia, and she offers no pathway to peace or an end to the war.
• UPDATE 10:59 p.m. ET:Harris continues to scream about Trump in an incoherent way, ramblingon and on about him.The faces of members of the crowd show nervous DNC attendeesas Harris continues this extremely tepid and weak speech.
• UPDATE 10:55 p.m. ET:One can’t help but think this is what happenswhen party insiders install someone who got zero votes as their presidential candidate–voters would have helped sort out these serious and debilitating political weaknesses on display from Harris tonight.
• UPDATE 10:54 p.m. ET:Now Harris is yellingfrom the podium on a section of the speechscreaming “we are not going back,” in which she comes off as angry and upset about Trump. That was very ineffective and will likely turn off a lot of middle-of-the-road voters.
• UPDATE 10:50 p.m. ET:Harris is now attacking Trump, calling him an “unserious” personbut now is going deep for several minutes on January 6 and then the convictions in the ridiculous weaponized New York cases against him.
• UPDATE 10:48 p.m. ET:She seems phony and weak. Hercadence seems like she’s lyingand does not believe anything she is reading off the teleprompter.She’s fake as can be, and inauthentic in every sense of the word.
Kamala Harris is officially in massive trouble. All these fired up Democrats in that room are going to be leaving this convention let down and unimpressed.
• UPDATE 10:42 p.m. ET:Harris’s speech is a real snoozer. She’s not connecting with people and even the response in the room seems somewhat muted.
• UPDATE 10:41 & 10:42 p.m. ET: Harris is focusing her remarks on her mother and thisspeech is not going well. She seems nervous. Her laugh betrays her.
• UPDATE 10:38 p.m. ET: Harris is focusing her opening of her speech on her upbringing and background. While establishment media folks might like it,this seems extremely fake–and is not going over wellto a live television audience.
• UPDATE 10:35 p.m. ET:Harris continues repeating herself very awkwardlyas the applause continues saying “thank you” many times.
• UPDATE 10:32 p.m. ET: Here comes Harris on stage now. She is taking a lap around the stage waving to everyone and clapping at herself as she walks up to the podium.
• UPDATE 10:30 p.m. ET: This promotional video is dragging on for a bit, but assuming Harris is actually coming out nextthis is semi-impressivefor the DNC thatthey are likely to get their principal speaker on stage before 11 p.m.on the east coast. It must of course be because theenergy is fizzling in Chicago as all the other Democrats juiced as much of it out for themselves all week first.
