her voice is SO grating

[Merryland]

and her lies so incessant...

[hopeforchange2008]

1. She just drones on and on!

[berniepdx420]

2. I was just gonna post the same thing... ugh.. can't wait til

she is out of politics...

I'm sure Chelsea will try next

[yourpaljoey]

3. it is the lies that irritate me... yikes

[Merryland]

6. She is a one-woman war machine.

[k8conant]

13. Well, look!

Yes, well. I would just point out...

[AgerolanAmerican]

16. This is why the more exposure she gets the less she is liked

if she had anything but yes-men around her someone would have confronted her about this long ago

nails on a blackboard

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

5. She just spews a word salad. nt

[hopeforchange2008]

7. I cannot believe how the mods let her hold forth >:(

[Merryland]

8. It just sounds like bragging and bragging and bragging in that horrid voice.

[Awknid]

11. What mods? She uses her sex as a crutch to make them not interrupt her.

It's embarrassing!

[AgerolanAmerican]

9. the way she just said "children"

the bitterness and hate in her voice was off the charts

[Merryland]

14. you're right - it's the dismal sound of bitterness & hatred

[chillfactor]

10. really?

her voice is soft and mellow..and just maybe you should try sorting out bernie's lies from any truths he might have got in. I find myself having fits of laughter when Bernie "speaks."

[Onlooker]

12. Yeah, we need a man's shout, not a woman's grating voice n/t

[Lone_Wolf]

15. The more she talks, the more people dislike her

I seriously think the Republicans could just run campaign ads of her yelling to convince people not to vote for her.

[Merryland]

18. The ad would read

"Do you REALLY want to have to listen to this for the next 4 years? Think hard."

[trueblue2007]

17. HIS voice is SO grating

and his lies so incessant...

you are so full of hate.

[anotherproletariat]

20. Sanders' high decible monotone is one of the things that first turned me off.

When I was able to actually hear what he was saying...lots of sound bites with no substance - I totally turned away.

[JoePhilly]

19. Bernie's voice is very soothing.

[Surya Gayatri]

21. Like a mother's soft lullaby, like the rustle of tree tops, like the babble of a brook...

[Renew Deal]

22. lol

[AgerolanAmerican]

23. Bernie sounds like Brooklyn

you can take the man out of Brooklyn, but you can never take the Brooklyn out of the man

subconsciously New Yorkers are going to hear Sanders as a familiar voice

[JoePhilly]

24. Well ... I guess he'll win NY then.

[The Old Lie]

27. and Pennsylvania in two weeks, including Philadelphia.

[JoePhilly]

30. People from Philly are not Brooklyn fans.

The sports history between Philly and NY alone prevents it.

[The Old Lie]

31. Who said anything about Brooklyn. I'm talking about Clinton's pro-fracking stance.

Pennsylvania's opinion on fracking has really changed in the past 8 years.

[JoePhilly]

36. Your suggestion that PA has a unified view on ANYTHING tells me ...

... you don't know PA.

I'm no fan of fracking, but Philly and Pitt are not where the fracking would even take place. It barely registers in those areas.

The rural parts of PA are now trying to decide if they like it, or not. But that has not settled out.

And finally ... the people in Philly and Pitt are not making this their TOP issue for the primaries.

[CentralCoaster]

25. Narcissists do this, love to hear themselves talk. Can anyone even follow her endless blather?

Especially when it follows a simple yes or no question, all we get is word salad.

[hellofromreddit]

26. It's the way she tries to project

At times when she simply speaks into the mic and trusts it to do the amplifying she actually sounds good. She could really use a voice coach.

I'll bet her throat is killing her in the evenings. It might even be a legitimate reason she tends to select smaller venues. Yeah, I know she can't bring crowds like Bernie's, but she could still fill up larger venues than she has been.

So far 100% of her claims about Sanders' past are wildly distorted or just total bullshit.

[Beacool]

28. As opposed to Sanders'?????

[Bobbie Jo]

29. Right?

Good Gawd.

[Beacool]

33. I find it amusing when Sanders' supporters make comments about her likability, her voice, etc.

They are supporting a cranky, elderly man with a nasal accent and voice like a foghorn, and they got the gumption to criticize Hillary on her voice???

Unbelievable..........

[fun n serious]

32. Her voice..

How fucking shallow

[bigwillq]

34. Both were so grating tonight. Both were awful, imo. (nt)

[Sandersdemocrat2020]

35. Hillary

She has never had a very high likability quotient. She is very skilled technically and policy wise, but she comes across like she is made of brass. Or has a tin ear for political language. I respect her experience, but my feeling is that she is such a shrill campaigner, I would worry about her losing in the general election. She is a cautious triangulator who does not have any natural rhetorical skill. Bernie has clear principles and is consistent in his language and approach. I am tired of establishment politics, which is one reason I support Sanders.

[renate]

37. welcome to DU!

I agree with you that she is very experienced and smart and skilled, and I also agree with you that Bernie is consistent--it's my favorite thing about him, the way that he has always been so devoted to equality and justice.

Anyway, welcome!

[Sandersdemocrat2020]

38. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome.

[XemaSab]

39. It's a combination of tone and content

As I said in another thread, she sounds like she's annoyed at having to explain basic stuff to morons.

I wonder how many multisyllabic words she uses in an average speech.

[november3rd]

40. Help!

I can't believe they haven't helped her fix that defect.

Voices convey so much more than the words and their relative meaning. They convey our inner beings on deep levels our subconscious perceives.

She's too loud and brash to be taken as sincere.

[Splinter Cell]

41. SHE is grating.
