Can I ridicule her as a fat fuck or is that just something that can be said about Republicans?

oh, no, you can go the fat fuck route. jesus. mix in a salad.

also, her rebuttal is terrible, which is par for the course for the DNC. they never take the chance to actually rebut what was said, instead choosing to go with a pre-written speech given by a nervous speaker. she's breathing heavier than trump does.

because they are both fat fucks.

This is fine.

Is she in front of a green screen?

Keep thinking she is, but then it could be the  lighting.  She’s evenly lit with an out-of-focus background so it makes it tough to tell.

I believe that her parents were UMC ministers because she actually sounds like a Methodist minister. This is a terrible follow up to Trump.

I see some movement and blinding light from some bling earrings behind her left shoulder.

Is she going to get to anything the pres said at any point in this? She lost 80% of the viewers by now. 


That’s not how it works. Always will be. They can’t write the speech in 5 mins so the rebuttal is always more generic platitudes. Random stories of American greatness contrasted with Joe Sixpack can’t pay his bills because that other party is XYZing. My side is better. Yea economy. Boo childhood cancer.

It’s a lose for whoever performs it.

Her back light is too bright.

Her speech is weak, but she’s there because Georgia has a Senate seat up in 2020.  If she flips Georgia, it puts Trump even more in the electoral hole (along with Wisconsin, PA, MI, and Arizona).

high school debate kids rebut more powerfully than professional politicians.

go for it on fourth down every once in awhile. fucking hell.

cnn was fact checking trump's wall speech in real time.

this choice of a rehearsed crappy speech vs an actual rebuttal is stupid. you know what he's going to talk about. frame it better. god, i've been on panels where i had to respond to things with which i disagreed in seconds, not minutes or tens of minutes. 

she's not rebutting anything. she's just giving a speech.

I don't think this is that bad.    She's just trying to prop up the Dem brand.  Seems to be doing a decent job.      

It’s all about Georgia.

Let a lawyer give the goddamned rebuttal. Our fucking job is to think on our feet and respond on the fly. I could have made notes (along with the prep beforehand about what we KNEW he was going to say) along the way, and delivered an actual fucking rebuttal.
And I like Stacy - an old classmate and friend of my wife. She’s always been whip-smart. But a meh, canned speech.

I've heard Abrams speak before and she's been impressive. That speech wasn't engaging at all and didn't seem to be a reply to the SOTU address. It was just a speech. 

This.  It didn’t have the passion it could have.

That's why you want an eloquent, extemporaneous speaker to rebut.  Think "Barack Hussein Obama".  He would need 2 note cars with a half dozen major points each and wham! he'd fucking pillory Trump.

Abrams speech was OK..not great, not bad.. and in the end just not very memorable.

She didn't fuck up, she didn't hit it out of the park.

 

(she didn't pull a Jindal, Rubio , or Kennedy)
