I didn't watch any of the DNC goings-on this week.

I see that the remarks from the father of the fallen soldier last night were absolutely riveting, and went right after Trump. I'd consider looking at that clip. Anything else outstanding to see while I'm catching up?

I'm in North Carolina. Rev. Dr. William Barber--head of NAACPNC--has been leading the Moral Monday protests for the last several years against
the Republicans that took over the state.

He is eloquent. Definitely worth watching.

Unless you had heart surgery.......HUH.....do you want us to give you a ride on Nov 8th to the polls, too? I am betting you are young. This is your country, step it up.

The whole things, taken as a whole, was a diverse panoply of issues that matter.

I have voted almost exclusively (about 99.8%) for Democratic Party candidates at local, state, and national levels since the early 1960's. I vote in every election.

This year for reasons I will not disclose, I missed Philly.

Do not insinuate that I should not be on this board. It only makes you, and a few others that have responded here, look foolish.

The Khans and Obamas did it for me. Everything else was just fine. Adequate, but not riveting.

You should really watch Hillary Clinton's speech so you know what she is campaigning on.
