2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What EVERYBODY is missing about the 47% [View all]BlueStreak
(8,377 posts)She was so calm and collected, and just went through the issues in a reasonable, non-hysterical way.
She nailed the 100,000 troops that are in the 47%
She called attention to the seniors that are in the 47% and reminded everybody they paid a lifetime for the benefits they are now receiving, and paid income taxes over a lifetime.
She specifically talked about a disabled person for whom just getting dressed in a major undertaking. They don't think of themselves as victims, but people with a shred of humanity try to help. [I editorialized a little there.]
And then she beautifully turned this all back to Romney's own tax returns.
It was brilliant and she never raised her voice a bit. It was almost as if she was showing pity in Romney, although she was not condescending. Pity is the right tone for this man now.
Great job, Barbara!!!
