Any insight as to what the delegate/state seating chart looks like?

For the first time I am starting to fear that this convention will be a disaster. These stupid f***ers need to shut up. They all are helping trump there is no doubt about it.

Honestly ready to cry at what these people are doing to a woman who has devoted her whole goddamn life to serving the underserved. It comes from all sides. What should be a positive four days will be ruined by a crowd that is 40% BernieBros.

These people are absolute slime.

I'm amazed that some of you haven't wished me death from lung cancer. But then again, violence is more of a Bernie trait then a Hillary one as the primaries show.

Damn, I wish I was in Tally. I'd go across the street to my local liquor store where IDs aren't required and get a $10 bottle of champagne.

Wow you underage drink? What a rebel...

I think you have more to worry about then insulting me.

There's always time for someone like you.

Getting the platform passed without much problem is a good step.

I haven't been able to watch as closely in the past hour and a half. Have there been any outbursts?

It was rough in the beginning but its gotten a lot better.

Yeah it was all over the place but it has found its footing in past 2 hours.

Ben Jealous was the turning point. Great speech by Ben

Since then he's been going around the floor to try to bring about more respect. It looks like its working.

He was great. I'd give him a lot of credit if that was the end of the chaos.

Not a Booker fan, but this is probably the best speech of the night so far.

Best speech of the conventions so far...

Michelle is such a gem for this country. Its a shame that Republicans have torn her apart these past 8 years.

That Vermont delegate was an ABSOLUTE MORON. My god, Bernie wasn't represented tonight? He was disrespected by going last? These Bernie or bust people have NO CLUE what is going on. They are doing him such a disservice.

There are plenty of idiots with PhDs and plenty of smart people with only a high school education.

Anyway, seeing as this has become yet another ag-bragging-about-his-dick thread, I'll be off.  G'night, folks.

Trump 2016!

They really have to be careful with this vote. If they halt it right away, the busters will feel like they are being silenced. If they let it go too far/all the way to the end, the busters will probably be so fired up that they will boo the final result. They should only let Bernie stop the tallying and nominate Hillary if the tone of the hall indicates it will go over generally well. I am not really looking forward to this moment because this will be the raucous ***holes last stand, so they are going to make a scene of it.

There are a couple people I like on the schedule, but I am definitely not as anticipatory as I was for last night's big four.

I feel bad now, I did not realize the theme was around disability rights. I thought it was just about Trump and the reporter.

Ok that makes more sense.

I wish Harkin would have retired in 2020. Democrats should never retire in a midterm.

Seriously. That was a tough swing.

Harkin said "Hillary Clinton" and there was no booing, looks like we may have a normal convention night!

Harkin did just accidentally say "Bill-Hillary Clinton" so there is that...

Holding my breath until the end of roll call.

I had no idea Bernie had a brother abroad! Cheesy
I totally missed which delegation he was from and was so confused cause I thought he was abroad. Good for him.
