Kids, we have seriously underestimated this convention.

[nolabear]

War on ISIS, you say? Here's your General Allen and a thousand generals and vets. HERE's your American military, and they are NOT interested in Donald's passionate opinions.

They have been holding the best for last.

[MichiganVote]

1. Wonderful!!!

[misterhighwasted]

2. Proud and solid for Hillary. This is most amazing & righteous!

[Hekate]

3. KnR

[tallahasseedem]

4. I am pretty shocked!!!

And very happy!

[Chimichurri]

5. It's riveting. I'm pleasantly surprised at how

Well put together from day one this whole convention has been.

[misterhighwasted]

20. Same here. It has been so well organized. The theme each day, the lineup of speakers,

the intensity and how it builds Hillarys message & vision for her Presidency.
They have told the story of Hillary Clinton. The one that was stepped on, silenced, and censored since she announced her candidacy.
That is what this week has done for the American voter.
The slander & lies have been shown to be b.s.. political sabatoge, and the real Hillary Clinton is known and wholly endorsed.

[Haveadream]

31. K&R!

[tblue37]

52. On the Bill Maher special tonight Salman Rushdie effectively compared her experience

of spending decades as a target of vilification and lies promulgated by people with a gigantic megaphone to his own decades under attack by the rabid ayatollahs.

[John Poet]

54. This was sort of what the Trump convention had in mind,

with the themes of the day and all--- but they fell flat on their faces. No one followed their supposed daily themes. There were only two themes all the way through-- FEAR and HATE.


The Republican convention of last week,
is what you would get if
you hired a biker gang
to perform 'Swan Lake' !

[Jetboy]

61. Haha this is as close as it get's:

[vlyons]

63. For me, it showed Trump's incompetence

One screw-up after another. D-list speakers, at best. Jumbled confused and contradictory messaging. Lies, lies, and more lies. Nothing to exalt the American people. Nothing to inspire me. ugly, ugly, ugly.

[Dustlawyer]

64. I represent the National Counsel of Clubs, which is headed by representatives of

almost all of the major bike club s in the country. These guys could do Swan Lake much better than the Republicans can do their convention or govern this country! It would be funny to watch Spike dance in a tutu, not so much to watch Republicans at any time!

[NewJeffCT]

34. well, comparing to last week's dumpster fire

they had a low bar to beat.

[oswaldactedalone]

6. Where do I enlist?

I'm ready to serve!!!

[nolabear]

7. DAMN he's good.

[frazzled]

8. Ha, the Republicans are gonna be so sorry

they asked where our mention of ISIS has been!

[nolabear]

10. I'm anti-war but these people are the real deal.

[misterhighwasted]

9. No one's shouting this General down! Damn he is on fire!

Preach it General Allen!!
Take that !!!
Woo Hooo!

[Ellipsis]

11. Dammmmmmmmnn.

[Indpndnt]

12. This is gripping.

General Allen is a fantastic speaker.

[longship]

13. Cheering them on, nolabear!

[pnwmom]

14. That one-two punch. First the Kahns and then the General.

And the General came with a whole platoon of other retired military.

Wow.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Holy moly

General Allen was phenomenal !!
The riffraff just got a hard spanking
trying to shout down a true leader.
And Trump must be quaking in his
own cowardice. wow.

[nolabear]

17. Yeah hit THIS one, asshole.

[misterhighwasted]

22. +

Oh yes he did!
Thank you sir!

[lark]

69. Hilarious!

Today he tweeted that he hadn't been in charge of his convention, he just went where they told him to. LOL!! So different than pre-convention where he said he would personally be in charge of the convention and it would be HUGE, Beautiful, the best ever show biz type convention. Epic fail on all points and now he just lies about it. Soooo par for the course with him. He had his hat handed to him and he was 1000% shown up. This was the best convention ever, the messaging was nearly perfect, except for some Bernie/Drumpf jerks. True Bernie supporters, those that get and support his message, wouldn't be so disrespectful and such jerks.

[MoonRiver]

16. I have never watched such an amazing convention!

Wow!

[happydaze]

29. obama's 2008 convention really rocked! He went to mile high stadium.

That was an awesome production!!!

[uponit7771]

30. +1, I've never watched all four nights... its been worthwhile !!!

[one_voice]

18. I'm very impressed...

I get the feeling the Hillary & the Democrats are sick of a divided country and decided to go all in. We need to take care of each other.

[skylucy]

19. I know! I am just blown away!! The best convention I have ever watched. (and I've watched them all)

[calimary]

26. Me too, skylucy!

I've watched a whole bunch of 'em in my life. Both sides. This one is by far the best I can ever remember seeing! And not only that, but it's an astounding contrast to last week's CONvention. Just astounding!

Just the viewing alone - the DNC's convention looks like a rainbow of humanity! The RNC's version looked like a frickin' Klan rally.

[Crash2Parties]

60. DNC = Optimism!

[Maru Kitteh]

68. I too was VERY impressed with the way the convention was handled by the DNC

[kestrel91316]

21. I didn't get to hear the general becauseof the stupid twit on the DNC website

"live feed" who hijacked things with behind-the-scenes crap. They preeempted a lot of speakers.

[nolabear]

23. Listen later. It's well worth it.

[bekkilyn]

24. Watch on CSPAN (nt)

[IronLionZion]

46. Video

[MelSC]

25. This has been quite a convention

Very exciting to watch!

[63splitwindow]

27. He was not just loud. You could hear the strength and resolve in his voice.

[Maru Kitteh]

67. Yes. This was CLEARLY not a reluctant "settling for the other one" kind of speech! He was ADAMANT

in his full, unreserved support.

[Rose Siding]

28. That entrance put me on the floor.

[George II]

32. I can't believe how spectacular this convention has been. 180 degrees from last week's.

[NewJeffCT]

33. but, they don't have Chachi at the DNC

that makes it an epic fail.

[Third Doctor]

37. LOL!!

[nolabear]

35. MORGAN EFFING FREEMAN! GOD is narrating the film!

[Fast Walker 52]

66. just another brilliant touch to a great convention

[Scurrilous]

36. K & R

[ismnotwasm]

38. Still in tears

Where's the damn visine..

[nolabear]

39. Brilliant all the way to the end. *sigh*

[L. Coyote]

40. We are going to ovethrow the Republican Congress.

[nolabear]

41. They are literally waist deep in balloons!

[Snake Plissken]

42. Trump take your Putin loving ass and move to Russia

Sincerely

The United States Military

[gademocrat7]

43. Amazing from start to finish

We are stronger together!

[Still In Wisconsin]

44. My Dad (USMC, Korea) on Trump "That pampered candy-ass wouldn't make it through

the first week of basic training."

Well said, pops, well said.

[WinstonSmith4740]

45. Stick a fork in Trump...

Looks (and sounds) to me the Republicans should just start planning for 2020.

[RonniePudding]

48. I think the abandonment has already begun

More and more it seems like they are focusing resources on house and senate races. I read today where the Kochs and Rove haven't spent a dime on trump thus far. It's pretty astonishing that the fucking Kochs feel like he's such a dumpster fire they don't want to get involved. I think he's in a lot more trouble than the media, who are horse race driven, really understand or want to admit.

[WinstonSmith4740]

51. Agree completely.

With the number of Republicans flat out saying this was the convention they SHOULD have had, plus the Republicans actually there endorsing her, plus well, they're running The Donald, I think the power structure is going to concentrate on the down ticket races. They'll try (although I don't think they'll be very successful) to hold onto the House and Senate in an attempt to do the same thing to her as they did to Obama. And as much as I love Obama, I think Hillary's tougher.

[RonniePudding]

53. She may be in some respects

She's also white, so it gives her an inherent advantage. She can tee off on them with impunity without being called the angry black guy. They might label her as shrill, but it's not quite the same thing.

In a lot of ways I think Obama may have been a little too concerned about that, particularly in his first term.

[WinstonSmith4740]

56. Oh, totally.

I also think he had to battle his own party. I never, ever thought Harry Reid really had his back. I live in Nevada, and lost count of the emails and phone calls I made to his office that started with "Are you kidding me??!!" I really love the way he has kind of adopted the "I don't give a damn" attitude in his last year...it's too bad he really couldn't do it sooner. Hillary already has had to battle the bullshit for years, and has a damn steel spine. She won't give a damn if the Republicans get butt hurt. And if Chuck Schumer tries to pull the crap that Reid did, she will take him to the woodshed, probably publicly.

[RonniePudding]

57. Yeah she's been through it all

Being slurred by these pigs for 30 years either makes you or breaks you. I think we all know how Hillary handled it!

[maddiemom]

47. I am SO impressed by the Dem convention!

And here I was wondering how they could top the first night. Almost all the speakers were specific and impressive; although some got a bit too fire and brimstone, they stayed on topic. The entertainers, not only knocked the Republican entertainers (well, a couple of C list actors and basically cover bands), completely out of the box, but spoke intelligently and showed some political knowledge. Trump's windy speech versus Hillary's (which was also a bit non-specific, but how much could she go into) showed a truly painful disparity. Now the question is; are we or are we not a majority "Idiocracy"?

[calimary]

49. Re: the balloons

"Look at that pile of balloons! I can't believe there aren't people under there!" - Rachel Maddow

[joshcryer]

50. I like that she let Gen Allen send the hawkish message.

Rather than stand there and bolivate about how the US military won't stand for shit going down.

The Sikh was a nice touch, and the diversity displayed in that was beautiful.

[sarae]

55. I have never seen a convention like this in my life.

They really went above and beyond; they knocked it out of the park.

I have to say, the only good things Donald Trump's done is make Dems stronger than they've ever been.

[WinstonSmith4740]

58. Agreed.

I've seen lots of them, and this one was really, really great. Loved it! I know I've never seen so many people from the opposition party speak in support and say they will vote Democratic for the first time ever!

[R B Garr]

59. K&R! It was just stunning. Great, consistent messaging and pure

star power.

[world wide wally]

62. And just think…. after 30 years of slimeballing her, they can't drive her down anymore than they

already have. And they have barely gotten started on Trump!

[Fast Walker 52]

65. who is not totally PSYCHED after this convention????

[Angry Dragon]

70. To declare war is on the back of Congress

If the republicans want a war then they need to vote in Congress
