Dems hit 1st night out of the park

Michelle Obama was amazing. I am going to miss her so much. The Obama's leaving the White House is the worst political thing to happen for me in my lifetime.

Cory Booker...well he was my first pick for VP. And there he was last night. I think he has a big future. I love him.

I thought Elizabeth Warren was the weakest primetime moment. Not a bad speech, but she should have gone first, followed by Michelle Obama & Booker.

Bernie hit all the right notes. What a leader; not easy for him to do, I'm sure, but the Clinton campaign had to be thrilled w/ his speech.

They already talked about more specific policy & ideas than Republicans did the entire week. The contrast is pretty extraordinary.

At a basketball and hockey arena...............no score for that kid
 
Trump tweeted out about Cory Booker last night:

"If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself."

Like what does this mean? Did his pal Putin hack Booker too? Trump is such a thug. Just a real low class piece of shit thug. It amazes me that people support him, but I understand just how dumb so many people are. Trump has made his largest gains among whites with no college degree, and his strongest support comes from white men with no college. So...what are you going to do.

Bet on the Obama coalition.

capital R russia had nothing to do with the hack. That's DNC propaganda to make you dismiss it out of hand. If retard Hillary didn't have her private server with no security this wouldn't be an issue.

This is probably the most uninformed post you will read about this issue anywhere. You literally have no idea what you are talking about, a self-important moron who just pulls things out of his ass and states them as fact, then expects white male privilege to carry him the rest of the way.

What an idiot. It really makes me smile to see just how stupid and ignorant you really are. A mouth breather really. Thank you.

i think clinton should feel lucky she didnt have to go on stage this night. If she appeared on day 1 like trump she would have gotten booed. The fact that bernie or bust was mentioned on stage by sarah silverman shows you what a tough night this was. The email dump overshadowed everything.

No matter how good Michele was or how good Paul Simon wasn't, the convention is about Hillary. And I don't see how a few feel good moments are going to patch things up inside the party.

Or with the voters.

I thought he brought out a good point. On what basis do we assume it was the Russian government [assuming anyone Russian had anything to do with it] and not a Russian citizen?

Or is it important for the narrative that the Russian government was behind it lol?

Evidence or STFU and GTFO with your distributed DNC talking points trying to change the subject that your fascist party rigged the system from the beginning we all knew and now it's been proven so now it's time for you all to take a bite of the shit sandwich which is the hopelessly corrupt DNC and Clinton campaign!

What a surprise Thingy the ultimate Crooked Hillary supporter thinks that.

I could never have predicted it. He was probably masturbating to Moochelles speech

I look forward to the release of the next batch of emails

White male privilege? White people aren't the ones that have to have government supported programs like affirmative action because they can't do it on their own.

Good breakdown. You're right about Booker's speech - I did end up loving it. It kind of snuck up on me. For awhile, I was just casually watching & thought it was going a little long, but then he really pulled me in the last 5-10 minutes. I thought it was a career-making kind of speech in the end, and the Dems will definitely try to groom him for bigger things.

Michelle was awesome, and Bernie rocks because he's so authentic and such a true believer. They interviewed a few of his supporters afterward, and they didn't seem to be buying it, but it was a small sample.

I had been looking forward to Warren's speech, but it fell flat, imo. Not memorable.

You had decided you loved it before he ever made it.

Sanders is a DNC lapdog and even after the emails proved that the DNC neutered him he still rolls over and speaks, sad.

I'm going to try and be a little more objective but I do have to agree with you. Though serious cracks in the Democratic coalition were glaringly obvious and larger than in the GOP convention you didn't get the feeling of many coalitions falling apart as you did during the GOP convention. To be honest most of the speeches were boiler plate throwing out red meat.

The Dems did start theirs with far, far greater star power than the GOP did and that was significant. I agree that Warren's speech was disappointing. Long on rhetoric and short on fact or policy. Cory, to use a NASCAR phrase, hit his points and delivered and made substantive comments and got the crowed warmed up. Michelle Obama gave a damned good speech but Bernie was unquestionably the star of the night. He hit all the marks right. He urged his delegates to vote for him during the role call vote. Not because it would do anything for Bernie so much as it would keep the impetus on key aspects of his movement. The fact that the platform committee made some serious concessions to Sanders supporters was significant too. They have succeeded in pulling Hillary farther to the left than where she would probably like to be. Bernie also made a very good point to his supporters about it not being about him but about the movement they have started for Government reform.

So yea Bernie crushed it last night. If Bernie lets it go there and that's his last hurrah for this election season then it may not make much of a difference now. If, however, Bernie hits the campaign trail as a surrogate for Clinton and passionately advocates the progressive issues that Clinton has agreed too than Bernie would be a very potent surrogate for Mrs. Clinton. That would bring up the question though of "If Bernie does that, what's in it for him?". I would imagine that if Bernie actively campaigns for Clinton, as she did for Obama, then she will probably nominate him for a cabinet position.

All in all I think last night was a good night for the Dems. I think Bernie did an outstanding job of defining why his supporters should support Clinton over Trump and I think he was affective in persuading many of the Bernie Bros to stop crying and do that.

What was most significant to me was the level of star power on the Dems first night vs. the GOP's first night. This tells me that Clinton has a big advantage in surrogates who will campaign with and for her. Corry Booker, Barry and Michelle Obama, Bill, Sen. Warren, Bernie, The Bidens, etc. Where as the GOP on their first night has a bunch of C list has been hack actors and government officials no one had heard of. That was really quite telling.
