ing yikes.

What say you now, Western Democrat and Blairite?

[Frodo]

Cuomo blows, but I do agree that the presentation was good for his bit. I hope he doesn’t run in 2024, doubt he’s going anywhere if he does though.

How would a Cuomo 2024 campaign even work? I'd have to assume Harris is the frontrunner assuming Biden wins this year. Unless Cuomo goes full #woke and runs from the Left, I don't seem him finding a lane to run in

I think New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would be better served staying in his state, and striving to become the longest-serving governor in New York history.  He only has two more gubernatorial elections to get under his belt, and ten more years.  

[KaiserDave]

Love Kasich's setting, he's speaking well too.

Good stuff, DNC.

When is Houston's next election?

[GeneralMacArthur]

who cares, he was just one of the "regular guys" chatting it up.  It's not like he gave a speech or anything.  If they'd gone and thoroughly vetted all the "regular, average people" y'all would be complaining about how artificial it was.

"lol, Biden secretly watches InfoWars" come on now.

[YPestis25]

Playing John Prine killed me.

Uh, not great? Why am I on the spot here?

[Crumpets]

Love Kasich's setting, he's speaking well too.

I also like Kasich's backdrop. I really want a headline tomorrow about Kasich addressing the DNC from a crossroads and becoming the world's greatest guitar player.

You think he should serve five terms??

That would be bad for the state, and probably bad for Cuomo's sanity probably (being Governor is one of the better jobs in American politics, but it takes a lot out of people)

Well if he was on infowars then he shouldn’t be at the DNC. That’s a big yikes.

Why am I being called out lol

[Rand]

We will see John Kasich in the Biden cabinet.

People can evolve, but it seems pretty grim to me that they put Ms. Garner in that position (couldn't they have found a more unambiguously "good cop?").

I sincerely hope she was aware of it beforehand.

The Biden campaign is all about unity, nothing wrong with him being there. It's consistent.

Lol no we won't

[gf20202]

Can't believe AOC complained about only getting sixty seconds when literally every speech has been 30-60 seconds.  I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she didn't know all the speeches were going to be similarly truncated.

I really wish Sara Gideon got more time.  Biden, Cunningham, Gideon are the three most important races.  Then again Cal Cunningham may not get to speak at all.

AOC didn't complain one bit. She even responded to the original report on twitter about it good-naturedly about making her minute count. She doesn't need the benefit of the doubt or excuses like she doesn't know what she is talking about. She's one of the savviest most informed politicians out there.

[NewYorkExpress]

Great speech by Kasich.

Doug Jones speaking at the DNC probably just torpedoed whatever slim chances of reelection he had.

[KaiserDave]

Doug Jones YES. You are amazing.

[soundchaser]

Doug. Flashbacks to how amazing that election night in December was.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Damn, that was 3 years ago.

I really hope Doug Jones becomes our next Attorney General. I don't want his political career to end already

[Gass3268]

Future AG right here.

[Ferguson97]

Doug Jones is too good for Alabama
