Last week, we saw Clint Eastwood speaking to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention.
Last night, we saw the President and Vice President address the Democratic National Convention.
I think I’ve had about enough national conventions for a while. But it did get me thinking.
Often, these political meetings are boiled down to a series of one-liners and sound bites played over and over again as a means of summarizing the main points of speeches and platforms. So let’s imagine this scenario today.
You are at the podium at a party convention. It’s your moment to address the room. You’ve got your speech prepared, and you know that there is one line – one zinger – that you want to be played over and over again. So here’s today’s question:
“What’s your one line? What’s your pivotal statement? What’s the main point of your address?”
