US Presidential Soap Opera

Hillary was the last speaker for DNC on Thursday and her speech had substance. She provided more information about herself and her background, to soften her image and help the voters to know her better. She highlighted a number of strategy themes for her campaign and will likely expand on them in the coming months. She emphasized that she has devoted most of her life to giving back to the people and has earned sufficient experience to run for this top role.

Donald replied the following day in an hourly speech which I felt that he was actually rambling along. I almost fell asleep watching it. Big promises and more accusations but no details. I worry if he can still command a lead as the DNC effectively pulled and united all Americans (even from some Independents and Republicans) to rationalize why Hillary is a better choice.

If this momentum continues, Donald will be hard pressed to catch up. But then again, with all the surprises so far, anything can happen. For the sake of the world, Hillary should be the no-brainer option.
