Grade Night Three of the DNC

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

A+

You could've filled all the speaker slots this week using just Wednesday's roster. Biden, Kaine, Bloomberg, Reid, Hutson, O'Malley, and Obama really brought their A-game and some extra credit. I wish Jerry Brown was given a little more time and Jesse Jackson seemed like he walked off a Tim & Eric shoot, but it's the best day by far between the two conventions. Also very smart that today became a sort-of "Independent/Moderate Day" after making the first half about Democratic & Progressive unity.


Biden and Kaine should only be allowed to step foot in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia until Election Day. Kaine can occasionally visit Florida, but Biden is truly gonna be a secret weapon over the next 100 days

Strong list of speakers, but they were openly peddling racial tension, class warfare and communism. Uncle Joe was good.

Please explain in detail where those 3 things were.

lmao, Santander has become a parody of himself.

A++  It was every thing a mainstream conservative party should reflect.  What exactly was that anti-trade, anti-free-market anti-NATO doom and gloom sh**t-show on TV last week anyway?

Tonight leaves me more convinced that this is a real party realignment.  By 2030, GOP = mid 20th century Dems (anti-trade, pro-jobs programs, very racist/nativist wing, vaguely isolationist/anti-war FP, ) and Dems = 19th century R's (aggressive on civil rights, vaguely libertarian economics, serious corruption problems, vaguely internationalist FP)  is totally plausible IMO.

One thing to think about though - the future of these parties, the people currently in their 20s and 30s, is not like that at all.  Younger Republicans were less supportive of Trump and are more aligned with the traditional GOP ideas on economics while being more libertarian on social issues.  Younger Democrats are left-wing in both economics and social issues and are becoming more isolationist by the minute.

[Lachi]

WOW!

And I thought this couldn't top yesterday

Solid A++ (voted A+ though because it's the highest grade there )

God I hope not.

May have clinched the election.

Democrats have seized the narrative of this election and have cast Donald Trump as a capricious and unreliable extremist.

[Crumpets]

Anyone who held off of giving last night an A+ last night in order to leave room to get better, this is where you break out that A+. There is no other way to put it. Biden and Obama just absolutely crushed it. THIS type of campaigning is what can make that landslide happen.

[Hammy]

I'm honestly holding off grading this until after we get some post-convention polls. If Trump is still leading in most polls after, then the whole convention is an F because it accomplished nothing.

[Crumpets]

One thing that seems different about tonight than last night is the news coverage, or at least what I've seen, which is pretty much MSNBC and a single local radio show. As great as Bill Clinton's speech last night was, they gave pretty mixed coverage of the day as a whole, and the reaction was much more subdued than online. Today was full Obama 2008 mediagasm.

And reasonably so. He really hit the ball out of the park in the most remarkable way.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Lol. Dems think Dems did great. Shocker.

[GLPman]

I saw only Kaine's speech and Obama's speech. Kaine was alright, but anyone who thinks that Obama's speech was not great is delusional.

[Mehmentum]

Lol. Dems think Dems did great. Shocker.

While this forum is certainly left leaning, getting a over 90% A rating on a poll is impossible without a majority of moderates, conservatives, and libertarians.

[Nyvin]

A+,   Obama's speech is really what everyone will remember from it, and that was fantastic.   

[Suburbia]

A-. Obama, Biden, Kaine and Bloomberg gave good speeches. Obama could have spoke more about military might, which he did for a while, but it was good.

Lol. Dems think Dems did great. Shocker.

No .... Republicans also believe that Obama hit-it-out-of-the-park on night #3.
Take a look at these tweets from Republicans ......

All of the speeches showed what I love about the Democrats.
