2020 DNC thread (starts at 9pm ET)

I was pleasantly surprised by how relatively well the first night went. I hope tonight could be just as good, or even better. Of course tonight's main speakers don't quite have the clout that Michelle Obama and Bernie Sanders have from last night. I guess we'll see.

Bill is still one of the best speakers out there.

I feel like Bill Clinton peaked as speaker during the 2012 convention

since than he is has been ok but has never again been as entertaining or as electrifying as he was that night

The Obama Presidency made the Trump Presidency far more likely.

Correction

The Putin presidency made the Trump Presidency a reality.....

yeah after tonight speech

It would not be surprised me at all if we see some in the GOP try to get Trump to abandon this "Biden has dementia theme"

the lowered expectation and Biden far surpassed them
Trump and the GOP would be foolish to keep doing this heading into the first debate after this speech
