Been watching snippets of Bernie and Hillary trying out their stump
speeches in Iowa while Trump addresses an audience in NH.

Quite a contrast in their styles, even when they are all in agreement
about some issue ... in this case the flaws in campaign financing.

Bernie delivers his objections regarding PACs and corporate influences
in campaign financing with great vigor. He's honest and passionate
in his criticism of how the system works. He almost admits that
he'll never become the POTUS but is using his candidacy to raise
issues that need to be addressed.

Addressing the same issue, Trump has an ironic and folksy delivery.
He doesn't scream and shout. He acknowledges the problem, admits that
he has participated in it and involves his audience in his comments by
pointing at people and asking *them* questions. He has a very laid
back, often humorous style. I can understand why he has become
popular with frustrated voters tired of professional politicians.

Hillary delivers the same message in that staged, loud and overbearing
style with the heavy voice inflections of old school politicians. She
shouts her message with arms and hands flaying away, not seemingly
aware of the people in the room listening to her and then nodding to
herself as if she just announced some kind of earth shattering news. Yuk.


She may win the Democratic nomination by default but she won't win the
election.

The Dems seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates. I
wonder why they couldn't and can't do better for the American people?
They rely on the fools voting the party and not the person. Hopefully
2016 will show Americans to be smarter than they have indicated in the
past.
