The DNC included Biden's wife, two children, four grandchildren, and videos of the late Beau. However he also got endorsements from a lot of other prominent folks.

If you take out tRump's family, his lineup is REALLY meager.

The Democrats had an Indian-American woman (Harris)? Look, look, so do we (Nikki Haley)!!

The Democrats had a black speaker (the Obamas, et al)? Look, look, so do we (Tim Scott)!!

The Democrats put out a positive, inclusive message that they want to heal and repair the country?
Look, look....oops, never mind.

I hope trump decides to act as master of ceremony and chases people off if they take more than 5 minutes so he can be center stage again. The longer he is up there blubbering the more stupid shit he’ll say. And I’m not going to feel sorry for the rethugs who have to sit through it, waiting for cues to laugh or applaud.
