I just tuned in: am I wrong to feel calm?

I'm liking this video about the Hispanic Caucus. Seems like the hall is full. Positivity has overtaken negativity. Seems like DWS is (rightly) not on the stage, people got frustrations out in the way-pre-prime-time hours, and I'm looking forward to the speakers.

It was always going to be a choppy road to beat Trump, and freaking out at every ripple and wave isn't the path to happiness. What am I missing here?

It's the Democratic Party. But odds are it's going to be very good, and freaking out now ain't going to help anyone.
