I suspect save for perhaps Cruz’s speech, and perhaps even that, the speeches themselves at both conventions get well received. It is the boos, roll call shenanigans, and the more ancillary spectacles that may not play well.

None of that seemed to hurt Trump (quite the contrary), and it remains to be seen if it hurts her. Unlike Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and Barrack, Hillary just isn’t as good a speaker. She doesn’t engender warmth or likeability the way those speakers do with people, policies aside.

To me, she is supported for what she represents far more than who she is, and we will see if that is enough to get her elected.

Glenn Beck rails on against Trump, fine I understand that, but what is our alternative? Four more years of leftist Democrat rule with some Supreme Court appointments thrown in? No thanks, I’ll pass on that.

Glenn Beck can think about the DNC what he likes, I haven’t seen much of it myself, only seen a few very short clips and commentary, but Glenn Beck has said he will “probably vote for Gary Johnson” - alibertarianfuture.com/2016-election/glenn-beck-will-probably-vote-gary-johnson/#sthash.G9d5vWDK.dpbs

Gary Johnson has said he sides with Bernie Sanders on 73% of issues: m.townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/06/03/gary-johnson-i-agree-with-73-percent-of-what-sanders-says-you-know-n2172078

Gary Johnson is pro-choice. Isn’t Glenn Beck pro-life? I wonder if any of Glenn Beck’a radio listeners have stopped listening to his radio show after finding how his likely voting intentions.

He’s tearing them a new one right now, talking about how awful they are. Don’t know what you’re talking about.
 
MODERATOR REMINDER

This thread is wandering. It isn’t a Trump thread, it is a Democratic Party Convention General Thread
 
To get back on topic: I’d suggest if you take the time to watch “Hillary’s America” you’ll better understand what happened to Bernie. dineshdsouza.com/movies/hillarys-america/ ; the lie of the “big switch”; the foundation of eugenics. Same Party, Different Face.

her parents see themselves as royalty and they have made sure she carries on. the photo ops when she leaves the hospital with her babies are set up to imitate the photos when Princess Diana or Kate have left the hospital with their babies. the doctors and nurses are waving, Hillary and Bill smiling. she is part of the Clinton foundation.

She graduated from Columbia in the spring of 2010 and married Mezvinsky that summer.
The high-profile wedding was held at the former home of millionaire businessman John Jacob Astor IV on 50 acres of land overlooking the Hudson River in Rhinebeck, New York. The wedding boasted 500 guests and was said to cost more than $3 million. Her custom-made Vera Wang dress cost approximately $25,000 alone.

Everyone please tag this type of post when any completely one-sided poster tries to convince you that they are neither Democrat or Republican… That claim hardly makes for honest debate.

There is no shame in admitting to having a bias or preference, so I don’t know why some folks pretend otherwise.

It’s telling that you chose to respond to my post in particular, when there are a multitude of posts on this thread by posters who never pass up an opportunity to bash Democratic politicians, no matter the thread topic. :rolleyes:

That WAS a great opening night for the Democratic Party Convention. I don’t have the time to go into detail about what I liked best about each of the speeches. However, even Republicans have correctly stated that Michelle Obama’s speech was a home run.

So you must have hated Sanders speech which directly contradicted Michelle Obamas speech. And a convention where people are booing during the invocation can hardly be called a great start,
 
 
I think Beck’s point was how the democrats are unifying to win, to defeat Trump.
 
Sanders last night:

*This election is about – and must be about – the needs of the American people and the kind of future we create for our children and grandchildren.

This election is about ending the 40-year decline of our middle class the reality that 47 million men, women and children live in poverty. It is about understanding that if we do not transform our economy, our younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living then their parents.

This election is about ending the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality that we currently experience, the worst it has been since 1928. It is not moral, not acceptable and not sustainable that the top one-tenth of one percent now own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent, or that the top 1 percent in recent years has earned 85 percent of all new income. That is unacceptable. That must change.
*

Michelle says the country is great. I am curious as to why people are praising speeches that contradict each other?

As I saw someone point out similarly on Twitter, all the things that Bernie Sanders pointed out there is happening or is continuing to happen under a Democratic president who has been president for nearly 8 years!
