This is, perhaps, the most effective way to bring about unity, even if it's not ideal.

just saw row of Bernie supporters with Bernie stickers on their mouths. I guess they are protesting being whipped to not boo. Net result is the same

If we don't hear as much booing, that's certainly better for Hillary on balance.

All I heard all day was how the Bernie Bros were causing a big ruckus, and now I finally turn it on and it's really tame. Demi Lovato got a huge applause when she said to vote Hillary.

A lot of folks who were claiming that the convention would end up being a disaster jumped the gun a bit.

Beautiful! Thank you Philly weather!

Stein will seriously claim that Hillary made it rain to spoil her rally. Wait for it.

The weather is such a Hillary hack. #Shillightning

Merkley's definitely trying to appeal to Sander's supporters by drawing attention to issues.

Things have certainly gotten better than they were in the afternoon, but more has to be done. Cries of "war hawk" are bad optics, to be sure.

This night is definitely turning around. Michelle always gives positive speeches, rather than just attacking her opponents.

These Bernie or Busters are NOT representative of Bernie supporters. They're an idiotic, but unfortunately vocal minority. If they act like this, they'll never have any real influence in the party.

Sanders' speech seems quite similar to his endorsement of Hillary.

This is going to be critical. He has a real chance to make a difference here.

He won't, look how it worked out for Silverman.

Silverman didn't get millions of votes in the primary. Wink If one person can bring some of Sanders' reluctant supporters into the fold, it's him.

Pretty positive reaction, that could've gone much worse.

I am ashamed of the 43% of the democratic party that literally voted for a movement that is the beginning of America becoming China or Russia.

Democratic Socialism =/= Communism

It's probably very bittersweet for people who were really invested in his campaign. I'd say it's understandable.
