Kyle Griffin….
”Gov. Walz tonight in Milwaukee: "You know, it was only a month ago that the Republican Party gathered here for their convention, right here on this very spot. It doesn't sound like any of you watched it, but in case you didn't, after promising us a speech that was going to be about unity and promising that he was a changed man, Donald Trump subjected us to 92 minutes of ranting and raving insanity."

Aaron Rupar… ”Duckworth: "How dare a convicted felon like Donald Trump treat women seeking health care like they're the ones breaking the law. How dare JD Vance criticize childless women on cable news then vote against legislation that would've actually helped Americans to start families." x.com/atrupar/status/1826082943233667444?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Kyle Griffin… ”Doug Emhoff at the DNC: "I love you and I'm so proud of how you're stepping up for all of us. That's who she is. Whenever she's needed, however she's needed, Kamala rises to the occasion. She did it for me and our family. Now that the country needs her, she's showing you what we already know: She's ready to lead. She brings both joy and toughness to this task. And she will be a great president who we will all be proud of." x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1826084407268061304?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

My sister and I were texting during the roll call. We both thought the messaging from the Texas delegates was important. Well done. Minnesota is so lucky that Prince stayed with us his entire life. |

Oh my .. the ketchup is flying.... Thanks Michelle Obama! When she made that comment about black jobs...OMG. I was in the midst of texting my friend who I've been texting with all night, and about a second after Michelle said that, she called me. Best comment all night.  |

Kyle Griffin.
“Michelle Obama: "It's up to us to remember what Kamala's mother told her: Don't just sit around and complain — do something!
"So if they lie about her, and they will, we've got to do something!
"If we see a bad poll, and we will, we've got to put down that phone and do something!
"If we start feeling tired… if we start feeling that dread creeping back in… we've got to pick ourselves up, throw water on our faces, and do something!"
Aaron Rupar….
”Michelle Obama is fantastic: "We cannot be our own worst enemies. The minute something goes wrong, the minute a lie takes hold, folks, we cannot start ringing our hands. We cannot get a goldilocks complex about whether everything is just right. We cannot indulge our anxieties."

Kyle Griffin…
”President Obama: "Looking back, I can say without question that my first big decision as your nominee turned out to be one of my best — and that was asking Joe Biden to serve by my side as Vice President."
,President Obama: "History will remember Joe Biden as an outstanding president who defended democracy at a moment of great danger. I am proud to call him my president, but even prouder to call him my friend."
”President Obama: "Who will fight for me? Who's thinking about my future; about my children's future — about our future together? One thing is for certain: Donald Trump is not losing sleep over these questions. Here's a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn't stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago."”
”President Obama: "We don't need four more years of bluster and bumble and chaos. We've seen that movie – and we all know that the sequel's usually worse."
”President Obama: "The rest of the world is watching to see if we can actually pull it off."
”President Obama: "If we each do our part over the next 77 days – if we knock on doors and make phone calls and talk to our friends and listen to our neighbors – if we work like we've never worked before – we will elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States, and Tim Walz as the next Vice President of the United States. We'll elect leaders up and down the ballot who will fight for the hopeful, forward-looking America we believe in. And together, we too will build a country that is more secure and more just, more equal and more free. So let's get to work."
Acyn…
“Obama: Here is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. There's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd size”

Kyle Griffin… President Obama: "You can tell those flannel shirts he wears don't come from some consultant, they come from his closet, and they've been through some stuff." In the audience, Gwen Walz vigorously nods in agreement.” x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1826096577510838699?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw“President Obama: "In this new economy, we need a president who actually cares about the millions of people all across this country who wake up every day to do the essential, often thankless work to care for our sick and clean our streets and deliver our packages – and stand up for their right to bargain for better wages and working conditions. Kamala will be that president."” ”President Obama: "If a parent or grandparent occasionally says something that makes us cringe, we don't automatically assume they're bad people. We recognize the world is moving fast, and that they need time and maybe a little encouragement to catch up. Our fellow citizens deserve the same grace we hope they'll extend to us."” |

Found this, and it is also the same for NBC and CBS ... "ABC News’ coverage Monday and Tuesday will feature one hour of primetime at 10 p.m. ET and two hours on Wednesday and Thursday starting at 9 ET." So the big 3 are not showing the whole thing on their "free" channels. Networks are still showing DNC at 11:28 pm ABC, CBS, NBC!! |

The recount…
”President Obama: "We need a president who actually cares about the millions ... [who] do the essential, often thankless, work. ... Kamala will be that president. Yes, she can."
The DNC crowd then chants, "Yes, she can!"
