During the 1988 Democratic National Convention, Bill Clinton delivered a speech that he would later describe as a disaster. This particular speech stands out among the dozen or so times Clinton has addressed convention delegates over the years.
Clinton's speech was in support of the Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis. However, from the beginning, things did not go as planned. The convention hall lights remained on throughout his speech, leading to a lack of attention from the audience on the floor.
