Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Gass3268]

Cory Booker is knocking it out of the park.

[Gass3268]

Yay, the good Cuomo!

'
Mario's dead, though. Was he in a video?

Yeah, they had like a 3 minute memorial video.

Delegates chanting WAR HAWK

It sounded like one that was way too close to a live mic.

[Gass3268]

This speech is amazing!

[Gass3268]

Maybe the best speech of the night, but it misses out on the accolade of "good speech" because half the audience is talking and shouting over him.

Honestly, none of the highlights of this convention will play well because they will all be polluted by heckles.

I mean, I question whether Hillary will even be able to appear without immediately taking a hit in the polls.

I think they need to work on the mic tonight into tomorrow so that they get less background noise.

[Gass3268]

If there is anything negative during Michelle Obama's speech I'm going to flip.

[Gass3268]

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

Unity goes both ways, buddy. They're been extremely disrespectful, and completely unrepresentative of not only Bernie but the vast majority of his supporters according to all the polls.

90% according to PEW.

[Gass3268]

Amazing woman!

[Gass3268]

LIE-A-WATHA is coming soon

Can we ban this racist pos?

[Gass3268]

Get those idiots chatting out.

[Gass3268]

Is there a chance this backfires on the Bernie or Busters? This is incredibly rude.

I've many tweets from non-crazy Sanders supporters that are getting pissed.

[Gass3268]

Bernie's prepared remarks

Mentions Hillary Clinton 14 times, Obama 2 times, Biden once, and no mentions of Kaine.

[Gass3268]

Seeing how much hatred Elizabeth Warren generates among our blue avatars makes me love her even more.

Pretty much!

[Gass3268]

Sanders' speech seems quite similar to his endorsement of Hillary.

Yeah, but I feel like thre is more Hillary Clinton in this.

[Gass3268]

This is going to be critical. He has a real chance to make a difference here.

Probably not to the folks in this crowd, but definitely to 90% of his supporters.

[Gass3268]

It feels like Sanders' party, not Clinton.

That's what this night was designed for.

[Gass3268]

Reading the end of his speech, I am wondering if Hillary is going to come out on stage with him.

[Gass3268]

He's taking it to the roll call? I thought he was going to drop out on the floor and do an acclamation thing?

He still probably will be.

Word is full roll call vote, than he's going down to the floor for acclamation like Clinton did.

[Gass3268]

Here it comes...

[Gass3268]

I love Bernie so much. He's killing it here!

[Gass3268]

I am ashamed of the 43% of the democratic party that literally voted for a movement that is the beginning of America becoming China or Russia.

I don't think you understand Sweden, Germany, France, the UK, or even Canada.

[Gass3268]

Gotta give Bernie credit for doubling down in the face of that crowd.

He's kicking so much butt right now! He knew what the party needed from him and he delivered. Might there be some BernieBros that don't like this, probably, but a vast majority are going to hear this message and move forward.

[Gass3268]

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

There are going to be a few, but most will not.

Bill is the only confirmed headliner so far.
