President Bill Clinton's Endorsement Speech of Congressman Reyes
The place might have only been half-full with attendees but it was over-flowing with enthusiasm for the visit of former President Bill Clinton to El Paso to endorse Congressman Silvestre Reyes.
By any measure, it was a success. The Apex Communicator (apologies to Randy Orton) former President Bill Clinton has a gift that is impossible to duplicate. He is by far the most effective and engaging communicator on the planet.
He was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd and a group of mariachis playing El Rey. Fitting because he's the King of Communication.
There was a palpable energy in the room and in a big shocker...Clinton wasn't late!
When it was time for him to speak, he knocked it out of the park. And like a good Democrat, he stumped for the President. He also talked about the personal relationship between Clinton and Reyes, something supporters of Reyes' opponents will downplay but its significant.
There were so many soundbytes that can end up in a commercial or a mailer its incredible.
There is no sound for the first 33 seconds of the video and I was having trouble with my tripod from time to time, so apologies in advance.
Clinton wore the boots he was given the last time he came to El Paso and was presented with a new pair after his speech. I actually got to check them out when I stopped by Reyes HQ earlier in the day. I was going to take a picture but some rude volunteer was being a real pain in the butt.
I'll figure out who she was later. I didn't have time to deal with her while I was there because I was in a hurry.
There was a press gaggle after the event and the Congressman took some questions. I'll post the interview in another piece.
The O'Rourke supporters that staged a demonstration didn't do more harm to their candidate than good as I expected. They were just pretty much not noticed. There were a few people outside and they were peaceful and respectful. But there weren't many of them, but that might have been because of a quick turn-around time from when they came up with the demonstration until the actual event.
I was surprised that Susie Byrd actually joined the demonstration. I had been told it wasn't an official activity of the campaign. The rest of council, with the exception of Rep Ortega and Rep Lilly, were inside the event. The demonstrators weren't rowdy or anything, but I think it plays off like the O'Rourke supporters were protesting President Clinton.
A successful event for the Congressman overall. In fact, word on the street is that the Congressman's campaign raised around $60,000 in contributions from a single fundraising effort today.
He left the stage to more mariachi music, La Negra this time, shook hands. Despite the fact that the place wasn't full, it was still one of the biggest crowds of any campaign event this season.
