DNC Theater

It’s become such theater. Reading a pre-prepared speech off a teleprompter written by a team of writers. How spontaneous. We are in the age of Obama, a guy who was reduced to incoherent babbling when his teleprompter went down and he was forced to ad-lib. But still widely viewed as a brilliant orator. Hardly. Kamala even produced a “rally” on a sound stage, with a hundred extras cheering wildly behind her with tight shots and multiple camera angles highlighting her ability to pose and look presidential as she read her lines. They’re all Robert DeNiro: brilliant actors on the stage but when off script, nothing more than empty suits. No depth, no substance, and only marginally intelligent performers. How will that play on the world stage?
