"We're having a good, robust conversation".

PA Governor Tom Wolf just said this, after being asked about the discord at the DNC. He reminded the reporter -

"Look - we're Democrats, we argue, we put our ideas out, that's what this campaign has been about, but we'll leave here unified on Thursday night."

Wise words, Governor, wise words.

Since 1980, when I attended my first union convention, every one that I have attended has included strong debate and occasional shouting.

If there were no outcries, no real disagreement, the GOP and the media would call the process over scripted and boring.

True, and this is not the first time this sentiment has been recognized and verbalized at a national convention by our Democratic leaders. Good on him.
