Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Frodo]

This convention makes me want to be a Democrat. It's impossible in real life, but for the first time this campaign I'm really tempted to sport a red avatar.

It's not impossible -just move down south across the border, become an American citizen, get a steady job, register to vote, and you're good to go.  It might be too late to vote in this election, but in 2020.....

While I liked the speeches given by Bill Clinton (especially), Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, I am still smitten by Michelle Obama's speech last night.

How I wish she would reconsider running for public office, perhaps running for Illinois governor or senator as a springboard to the presidency.
