Tonight's speakers are competent but except for Pritzer not up to last night. Sanders was OK but I have heard him better. But still waiting for Obamas.

I thought Doug’s was splendid.

I thought Doug’s was splendid.

Very real, very genuine, and very much in love.

 

[Chris Craig]

Michelle is killing it!

Barack gotta be like, crap I have to follow this

Roast fucking CITY! U.SA.

Michele Obama with line of the night.

"Who is going to tell him [Trump] that the job he is seeking might be one of those Black jobs?"

PS Emhoff was good. I posted before I heard him.

 

[julius]

ooh, the "black job" comment was fucking awesome.

 

[julius]

"this weird obsession with crowd sizes" and then moves his hands closer to each other (to indicate small) and then looks down at his hands and smirks...no way that wasn't intentional...

[Chris Craig]

Yes she can!

 

[julius]

"the rest of the world is watching, to see if we can pull this off".

Damn. I forgot what it's like to have a President who speaks powerfully, instead of like a blistering idiot.

 

[riverman]

Michelle Obama was powerful and her husband was smooth and took it home tonight. I missed Doug’s speech but saw Bernie’s

Doug's speech was good. Very sentimental and authentic.

Michelle was best of the night.

Barack did his thing

Bernie was ok.

I heard Kenzinger has a 15 minute piece of real estate at the convention on Thursday which will be the headlining day.

I’m a big fan of his and excited to see him throw some dirt all over Donny

Expect some angry, rambling Truth Social posts in the wee hours about how it’s AI generated and communist Kamala will bring us to the worst Depression we’ve seen since the likes of 1929

 

[THE HCP]

The Obamas were absolutely amazing!

[julius]

The Obamas were absolutely amazing!

Yeah, but I remember one time he wore a tan suit. So, clearly my only choice is to hate him.

Walz speaking tonight, also Pelosi.

Not sure rest of schedule except Harris tomorrow. Adam Kinzinger planned.

Democratic royalty not yet heard from: Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Bill Clinton, Stacy Abrams, Joel Shapiro, Hakeem Jeffries.

Whoever had the idea of roll call dance party deserves a raise. Morning news showed split screen of Republican roll call, woman with droning voice repeating pursuant to rule XYZ state of blank votes for Trump over and over with dancing to music of many decades and genres, accompanied by snippets of state history. Everyone wants to join the cool kids who are having fun.

 

[crandc]

Pelosi tonight.

Republicans reportedly upset protests have been largely orderly with only handful of arrests and no violence. They really wanted a replay of Chicago 1968.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[julius]

Go Super Dave!

 

[THE HCP]

They should just cancel tonight. Can’t get any higher coming off the Obamas…… Ride that wave until November.

 

[crandc]

Bill Clinton and Pete Buttigieg tonight.

 

[julius]

I still have to remind myself that the RNC had Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan unironically.
