I just tuned in, I've got the earlier portions recorded.
Currently a bunch of stars are singing What the World Needs Now.
My questions is, couldn't they have gotten more microphones so people weren't ripping it out of the person's before them hands?

I can't wait to see the tweets on this former naval officer tell Trump he isn't fit to polish John McCain's boots.

I don't know what the people were yelling, but I appreciate that he is ignoring it.
I don't like the chants while a speaker is speaking. It is dismissive and rude IMO

I saw the mother of one of the Pulse Nightclub victims speak - she was powerful. And it was interesting to hear the level of background noise go down as she spoke, as people obviously got more interested in what she had to say. And the people who spoke about Sandy Hook were also powerful.

It is dismissive and rude IMO I thought the same thing...does anyone know what they were saying? Poor guy, you would think that he earned the right to speak without interruption...

Some of the speakers tonight made me so emotional talking about gun violence. I am angry with MSNBC for cutting off the rear admiral for Brian Willams to show the President getting on his plane and then cutting to Chris Matthews and Jerry Brown. Disrespectful to all of us because I was listening to the speaker.
I wish Hilary could do something about gun control, especially assault weapons. I think background checks are ineffective but assault weapons? To me anyone who wants one automatically is too dangerous to have one.
Watching this convention of 'my people,' I see the chasm of society like I have never seen so clearly. None of the RNC speakers spoke for me. All of the DNC speakers speak for me. Because of that, I don't see any bridge that can reach across. I don't want what is on the other side.

Turn off their damn microphones or take away the blowhorns or something.
This is rude as hell and I while I want to hear the speakers, I am about to turn it off and have a bad taste in my mouth.

Isn't there a way to bridge SOME of the gaps? Not all, but I think there are SOME issues that the two sides are probably closer on than they want to admit.

There is zero cutting away for any reason; it is all convention, all the time.

I do too. I know he's said goofy things in the past and messed up at times, but I have also heard how well liked, even loved, he is by the people of Delaware. He's had some horrible personal tragedies to deal with and he's a strong and also compassionate human being.

Just realized I was posting on the TUESDAY night thread. First I was admiring Joe Biden for using object pronouns correctly. Now I'm enjoying his use of the word "malarkey."
Looks like he's the designated pit bull for the evening.

Perfect.

Just random musings, and there is no way to know, but I wonder if Trump would have gotten the nomination if Biden had run and been the presumptive nominee instead of Hillary.
