Loading ...I can see I have been out voted on the issue. And I admit I was tired and sleepy by the time Trump got up to the stump to give his speech. Been a long week that mostly kept me up past my bedtime and frankly, I just wanted to get it over. I pretty much agreed with Ororeef’s little piece about being over 60, with the exception that my nap times are especially important once I passed that age. Nearly non-negotiable acutally. And I think Trump could have sewed this election thing up tight if he had said he would put a National Siesta Hour in the middle of the day. I think those Mexicans are on to something there.
And I am probably a little bit spoiled when it comes to public speaking. The preacher knows the attention span is short in his congregation, and he can whisk you from the Creation, talk about a little boat ride, add some historical facts about Abraham, then get you across the Red Sea with Moses, tell you about a manger that led to a wooden cross, and how even a sorry one like me can look forward to a better place. All that, in just under 30 minutes and then its off for a Sunday dinner and of course, a nap.
I would think a speech about turning this country around, and fixing some things would take even less time. Unless you get into all the misdeeds of Hillary, and then I would say bring a sack lunch with you.
But I am going to stick by my guns on the teleprompter thing. My preacher dont use one and he seems to get his message across quite clearly, with the right emotion from the gut. Enough so i have seen grown men cry and even a few on the back row loosen their shirt collars when he speaks about certain subjects like hanging out at the pool hall on Saturday nights. Obama couldnt tell you his full name without the magical screen. Trump, I think he could sell you the Brooklyn bridge with just a 3×5 card for a few notes.
Alright, I’m finished defending myself. I go along with the majority on this one. But you are wrong. 🙂
Ps) I aint counting Maddog’s opinion since he didnt actually have to try and stay awake but cheated by reading the speech. After a nap. Wise man.
