Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

What a butthurt young woman.

It still strikes me that women think they should get free birth control from the government when the CANADIAN system doesn't even do that.

Um, they don't? That's not what Obamacare does at all?

That is what Fluke is advocating.

"After all, Mitt Romney's the guy who said 'corporations are people.' No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance, they live, they love, and they die. And that matters."

Brilliant.

Until you realize that their money is in corporate bonds.  That's why Romney has closed in MI.

Bill Clinton is the best.

Yawn.

Bill Clinton is the man.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I love Bill Clinton's ability to be viciously partisan and incredibly charming and funny at the same time.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

God, Bill is fantastic.

We should totally overturn a principle that has been a key part of our legal system since 1818 because some people just realized criticizing it is a useful talking point.

Legally speaking, corporations are people. And I'm proud that's true in the country I live in.

Though it's very well-done in this instance. Kudos.

You would think that Bill Clinton is the nominee the way everyone goes completely gaga over him.

Sorry but you're stuck with Obummer.

[J. J.]

Right now, he's being too retrospective.  

He's talking about the Democratic Party from the year prior to my birth.  He's not talking about Obama.

Better Obummer then to be stuck with a mannequin......

Yes.

I haven't heard of it -- could you explain? I'm legitimately curious, this is one of those few issues I feel rather strongly about and have a left-wing bent. Who's talking about it?

[Lief 🗽]

Let's just call it a day and re-elect Bill Clinton forever.

Clinton was obsessed with it back in '96, remember?

Willie's delivering it well, but he's now more boosting Hillary!

DNC shouts '4 more years', I'd rather they say 'no more years'.
