He's the first US President I knew. Basically grew up with him as the image of America (for better and for worse). It's hard.

same here, despite hw bush showing up on cartoon all stars to the rescue and whatever. i voted clinton in 1996 on the nickelodeon kids votes thing, and thought he was a pretty good speaker when i was a kid. looking back, he's further right than i am now, but i still get nostalgic seeing the guy.
 
I'm hoping either they don't show up or they get swapped out. Lol. Though I'm pretty sure the role call is going to kick the bee's nest again.

Yea, today will be very unruly. When they realize that Hillary has the numbers they will not let up. It will be like the RNC one only worse.

I think someone said she also penned the 18 million cracks speech?

She did. She was Hillary's speech writer in 2008. 2 days after Hillary conceded Obamas offered her a job.

Real talk. You gotta get rid of those CA delegates that were being a distraction.

You let them have their moment but really you can't allow any more disruption like that. And after Bernies speech last night and when he turns over his delegates that should be it. The place needs to show unification after that.

On another note yea Bill is old and I'm sure those heart procedures only added age. Like Kev said I hope he's ready because man he looks like he can croak at any moment.

Great convention overall but someone needs to shut these rabid Bernie fans down.

I think part of the reason why Liz had a not so great speech is because there were times where she tried to take it to higher places and Berners started shouting stupid shit at her. You could see it in her face.

This was Bernie's night for these folks, they got it. Now get these rowdy delegates the fug OUTTA THERE. pronto.

The Now-cast is meant to be for fun and not to be treated seriously. I recall the 538 podcast saying something along this line a couple of weeks back. Bummed out I am unable to watch the speeches due to data limitation. Had to read what happened via Vox, NYT, and listening to the NPR political podcast. Michelle sounded amazing from the the snippets I heard. Happy to see Sanders understood the meaning of compromise, even if his staunchest supporters do not. Even if I am a Hillary fan first, I'm happy Sanders pulled her to the left. Silverman's insult to the Bernie or Bust people was also heavenly.

Any other articles I should read concerning yesterday's convention?

Eh I hope I'm right and assume yesterday was the worst of it. I mean those people are delusional but Bernie was pretty clear. Them being disruptive should get them removed after delegates have been counter

Ok if Cory Booker and Tim Kaine ran in the primary Bernie would have been completely neutralized.

DNC has some serious problems when it comes to messaging and putting out a fire, holy shit

The press is spinning this as a good night despite some trolling so that's a net plus for us. Go Dems

Lol Trump talking about the DNC hack. He sounds so ridiculous. Aye eye eye!!!

Trump talking about the central AC 😂😂😂

Every news source seems pretty positive about last night. The "come back" from the earlier boos is making a good story for them, so they're pushing that angle, and I think that's a great angle to go with.

Even Fox is going with that story.

Day 1 was full of great and powerful speeches
I'm racking my brain trying to remember the last time I heard such a powerful convention speech in my lifetime. Michelle topped Barack and Bill in their primes for me.

If I'm the Hillary campaign, I'm running an infomercial on all of the networks on the Sunday before Election Day - and I'm including that speech as part of it.

Why aren't the Democrats speaking about ISIS, bad trade deals, broken borders, police and law and order. The Republican Convention was great

Funny, if you listen to @FoxNews, the Democrats did not have a good day. If you listen to the other two, they are fawning. What a difference

LOL, this guy.
