Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Dr. Arch]

It takes a lot to draw a tear, and many were drawn from the listeners there. Great job, Bill. Which Hillary? THIS Hillary.

[Suburbia]

That speech was ing beautiful. Donald Trump should just concede already.

It's not over yet. Trump could make inroads with suburban voters, Latino voters, etc.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Meryl!

[dspNY]

I love the Big Dog. A reason why I became a Democrat as a kid

[pepper11]

Do Maddow and Schmidt have no politcal sense whatsoever? How can they slam that speech. It so perfectly humanized Hilary and Maddow blasts it as antifeminist.

Are

you

kidding

me.

Yeah, he's shown so much potential with the Latino vote...

I don't think that there is even a chance he makes inroads with Hispanic voters and his chances with suburban voters are not much better.

What did they say? I was away from the TV.

[Wells]

Wow, even some of the people on Sandersforpresident thought Bill's speech was good. But I guess Rachel Maddow has even higher standards.

[IceSpear]

Bill's speech was great, but I was expecting him to be a lot tougher on Trump. I guess they're giving the responsibility for taking the sledgehammer to his face to Obama and Biden.

[Dr. Arch]

THIS, is America, the America I believe in.

[pepper11]

Maddow said she was "shocked" because he "kept  talking about 'that girl' in 'that dress'" or something like that

[Stockdale for Veep]

Maddow math

Don jr. > Bubba

Yeah, Bill is in a unique position to humanize Clinton.  Obama and Biden will do excellently against Trump.

[Maxwell]

I think Bill's speech was pitched exactly right - he needed to humanize Hillary and make these speeches more specific.

[Seriously?]

Maddow said she was "shocked" because he "kept  talking about 'that girl' in 'that dress'" or something like that

That girl in that dress? Was he talking about Monica Lewinsky perhaps?

Sorry, I can not take a Bill hearts Hill speech seriously.

Sadly, people like maddow make their money off division between the sexes. Clinton belted it out of the park but the reason he did so was it was a message of unity.

Yup.

Let the President and Uncle Joe destroy Trump.

I had to see it to believe it. Wow. I'm feeling so much better about this election than I was last night.

[ag]

I missed the speech.

Well, you tend to miss things, don't you?

[RI]

Bill can be as likable as he wants, but at the end of the day, it's Hillary on the ballot.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bill's speech was as a husband and father.

[Xing]

Contrast this speech to all of those from Trump family members last week. 

Bill does have 30 extra years of marriage to talk about.

I missed the speech. Did he mention how he got his d**k sucked by an intern? Or how he slept with Gennifer Flowers? Or how Barbara Streisand is on the persona non grata list at the White House because the former Horn Dog-in-Chief allegedly screwed her while Hillary was gone?

You'll have to watch it to find out.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

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.
