Democratic National Convention days 3 and 4 **live commentary thread**

[Storebought]

All of the speeches against Trump should not come at the expense of attacks against the rest of the GOP. The Congressional GOP need their stuffing knocked out of them as well.

So, what is the schedule for tomorrow?

That shrieking bitch Hillary, or so I've heard.

I'm still skeptical. Not because of any "low energy" of the speakers so far, but because the focus of this DNC -- at least to me -- is supposed to be on Clinton herself, a reintroduction of Hillary Clinton to the US at large, and not just convention Bernie Bros, as a credible commander in chief. All of the words wasted about Trump after Michelle Obama's opening is a distraction from that.

It's not clear to me, given the nature of the speeches so far, what Clinton intends to do about ISIS or their refugees, or free trade, or the interminable shootings, or the obstructionism of the House GOP. Why should we vote for Clinton?

Yes, Clinton can address all of these things herself in her own speech. The danger is, though, that if she says yet another syllable about Trump, outside the fact that he comes attached with regressive GOP policy, then her speech, and the convention at large, is a failure.

DNC had 15% higher ratings on Wednesday, Trump campaign has told his supporters not to tune in because of ratings, lol

There he goes again, imitating Hugo Chavez.

This is like a Thanksgiving dinner with outstanding pies, casseroles, oyster dressing, ... and a bone dry turkey as its centerpiece. Oh well. As long as she doesn't mention Trump (much), then it will be good enough.
