BERNIE is the star of the show tonight!

I feel bad for his supporters.
 
One major difference I notice between the Cable TV Networks coverage of last weeks Republican Convention and the Democratic Convention, is that in the coverage of the DNC the Cable TV Networks are broadcasting the DNC prepared Videos but they didn’t broadcast any of the RNC Videos (except the biographical one about Trump) .

Did they have any other ones ready to go?
 
I wouldn’t want to be hillary watching bernie’s speech. No one seems to be interested in her.

There was one RNC Video for sure about Benghazi; none of the Cable TV Networks broadcast it; PBS also didn’t broadcast it.

There probably were a few others but I can’t recall them atm.
 
What a fantastic opening night for the Democratic Party Convention. 🙂

The great speeches - one right after the other - Senator Booker, First Lady Michelle Obama, Senator Warren, and Senator Sanders. 👍

I thought Michelle and Elizabeth were average.

Michelle Obama’s speech was outstanding. I especially liked it when she said, “Don’t let anyone tell you that our country isn’t great, that we need to make it great again… This is the greatest country on Earth.” And when she said that we don’t want someone “thin-skinned with a tendency to lash out” in charge of our nation’s military, we all knew who she was talking about and she didn’t have to name Donald Trump by name even once.

👍

The point does stand however. A large number of Bernie supporters seem to believe some form of revolution was possible under Bernie. When it didn’t materialize, they have essentially thrown a tantrum and would rather cut off their nose to spite their face when it comes to their overall progressive goals. If it comes down to getting something or getting nothing, they seemingly have forgotten the truism that something is better than nothing. Because their promised revolution was like everything else in politics, a bunch of hot air.

I mean don’t get me wrong, I too voted for Sanders in the primaries. But I’m also a pragmatic realist. Given the choices we’re left with the only choice for anyone who voted for Sanders is clear, regardless of how distasteful it is to make. That or you don’t really believe in the progressive agenda of Sanders at all and you were quite literally a Sanders groupie.

And Bernie made that perfectly clear tonight.
