Bill's 2012 speech was much higher-energy.

Drumpf's speech was like 74 minutes, and audiences seemed to eat it up. Bill is doing fine. (actually spectacular)

We can certainly hope for this, but let's not get out hopes up too high, lest we end up disappointed.

Very true. I am just so damn impressed with what these speakers are doing. What vision for America is more appealing? Fear and hatred, or hope and love? They are doing a great job selling the country on this campaign.

2012 = everyone knows obama, second time at convention for him. need bill to attack opposition and explain where we are now thanks to barack

2016 = bill re-introduces hilllary to the public, the conventional role of a first time convention.

This has been a beautiful and masterful speech in terms of pathos, ethos and logos--brilliant. The distance between this convention and the GOP convention has been from the ground to the sky.

This is an uplifting and positive message, underscoring what America always has been about. A++

We need to be tough and vigilant. You have to have both. But be tough and vigilant.

I really think they will. The question will really be whether this tone and message lasts until November. We are so far away, and Hillary could be in trouble if we fall back into the Fox News/trump discussion about Crooked Hillary. But this convention is looking like it will be a huge success.
