Clinton shocked his supporters during his speech with his older appearance and hoarse voice on day three of the DNC. He spoke into the microphone with a dominant tone, reverberating throughout the stadium. But despite the power in his voice, there was a hoarse, scratchy quality that was hard to ignore for some viewers.
