Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Pyro]

I just hope Michelle Obama references her plagiarized speech.

Yikes, Sanders delegates boo when Sanders himself says "We have got to defeat Donald Trump and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine."

He needs to get real with them. Take off the kiddie gloves and tell them not to be children. He needs to get personal and emotional and explain why it is so important to him why Donald Trump can't be elected.

This is a clusterf-ck. I totally overestimated the sanity of his supporters, which I didn't think was possible. If Hillary loses the general, it's at least partly on Bernie. He helped create this mess.

If Hillary Clinton loses it will be Hillary Clinton's fault. She could have offered an olive branch long ago.

You're kidding. Their positions are like, 95% similar. These people are fools.

And the sad thing is, the ones who became delegates were obviously the most passionate among them. Not good.

And of course CNN has Reince Priebus on to comment. Where were the major Democratic surrogates when sh-t hit the fan at the RNC?

For Sanders' supporters, Clinton's positions on issues do not really matter as they appear to shift with the wind. That seems to come down to the trust issue more than anything, and that ship has sailed. Not sure how possible unity is at this point with the die-hards who are unwilling to compromise. And, of course, the media will eat that up.

These stupid f-ckers are going to hand the election to Trump. I am furious. Hillary is so decent. She came way closer in 2008 and we saw none of this garbage. When will they get it through their thick skulls that they f-cking LOST.

Maybe after she loses you will admit that she was a horrible candidate

Good luck with that one.

This thread is more of a ride than the convention!

[Pyro]

I wish Ann Richards was still alive.

And Ted Kennedy

[Pyro]

morty worlsh up now

[Pyro]

Silverman just won over the entire audience in near-total unity.
Then broke it with name-calling.

[Pyro]

Yeah, speakers, just keep throwing salt at the Berners, that'll definitely bring unity.

[Pyro]

Oh hey! It's the person who could've brought some semblance of unity on the ticket!

[Pyro]

"We trusted you."
Poor delusional Berners. Warren was never on-board with Sanders.

[Pyro]

Yesss. Finally some policy and substance and not vague anecdotes.

[Pyro]

These Bernie protesters ARE the millennial generation, folks.  This is the result of years of participation trophies and coddled feelings.  You can't tell these people no!

lol enjoy dying first

[Pyro]

This gon' be good

[Pyro]

Never-ending excitement for Sanders!

[Pyro]

A California Sanders delegate is still unmoved by Sanders' speech. She says she will vote for Green Party Jill Stein.

FF

[Pyro]

Knowing how divided the party looks to be, I half-expect a walkout

[Pyro]

Vermont... passes?

*grabs the popcorn*

[Pyro]

This is the best audiobook of Clinton's autobiography I ever heard.

[Pyro]

"She voted for and against proposed trade deals," Clinton says rapidly.
