On a scale of 1-10, how much of a trainwreck was night one of the DNC?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Time for me to go full BRTD. I'd say an 8. They can't mention Hillary's name without boos breaking out.

"We trusted you!"
"No TPP!"
"Bernie! Bernie! Bernie"

The best part of the night was Booker. Best convention speaker so far at either convention.

The real trainwreck is this thread.

I don't know, Bernie supporters booing Elizabeth Warren doesn't make for a very united convention.

Ted Cruz was booed by his owndelegates for not endorsing Trump. The Republicans want to heal and move on. Bernie was booed by his own delegates for endorsing Clinton this afternoon. That is a big problem.

It has had its moment so far, but it's not like the boos are going on every minute overwhelming every word. It's not even close to that. I mean just because you hear like 2 guys interrupting Warren for like 20 seconds doesn't mean it's a giant trainwreck lol.

It is way more than two. Thankfully as Adam noted, the Hillary people are drowning out the Sanderistas.

How exactly am I being the jerk again? I can't express my opinion that this convention is going off the tracks? You all are the ones who are panicking, my vote for 8 is based on your reactions, not my perceptions.

This group of political junkies is hardly representative of our great nation.

I'm a basement dwelling baboon for all you know.

No, I'm basing it off of Twitter, commentary on TV when I rarely venture of C-SPAN, reactions of other average Dems I know from Facebook, etc.

It's not even over yet.
The main speakers are speaking now.

The only "trainwreck" is you .... ChairmanSanchez "the elitist."

I can't hear your desperate pleas from my ivory tower.

8.  Definitely NOWHERE near as bad as the RNC's Day One, mainly due to the fact that FLOTUS and Senator Booker saved the night from total disaster.

Again, I disagree. The Never Trump people didn't boo Trump's speakers and in fact Cruz was booed by his own people for his non-endorsement. The RNC was boring, it was bland, the order of speakers sucked, and it lacked the star power and the enthusiasm but it wasn't chaotic or divisive like this.

You sound drunk again .... like you were a number of weeks ago, and were posting rubbish late that night.
Remember how much of a drunken fool you sounded like that night ?
LOL.

Sadly, I'm not drinking since I'm back home and don't have access to a sympathetic liquor store, but this convention was entertaining enough.

Michelle Obama did great... and though I hate to admit it, so did Corey Booker

The rest of the politician speeches (like Warren and Sanders) were the same old stump speech.

And these BernieBros should be shipped to a private island where Donald Trump is made King.

That sounds like a great reality show idea.

Bill is the one speaker I could see addressing the hecklers directly. That would be pretty funny, even though it would be horrible optics. Hopefully it won't be necessary after tonight though.

He took on that truther in 2008. "Wait a minute? Bohemian Grove? Isn't that where all those rich Republicans get naked and run around the redwoods?" That was great.

I have never once seen someone say the other party's convention wasn't a disaster.

Dude, did you spend last week under a rock?
