CONTRAST COULDN'T BE GREATER

++You know you have me when I listened to every speaker. Cory Booker was a surprise. "We will rise!" He evoked the Obama era with his "In America…" His rift on patriotism twisted the knife in on Trump. 

++Even David Frum thought Michelle Obama was brilliant and used the speech like a chapel about who do you trust your children with--Trump nor Hillary. Michelle Obama's speech was not quite the tour d-force she gave to the Black caucus but was powerful in hidden ways.

++Elizabeth Warren seemed distracted. I didn't hear her being heckled by "We trusted you" But she gave a conversational speech and she rattled off a litany of things America is. I liked it but not her best.

++Bernie Sanders gave his campaign speech but sequed into why Hillary Clinton should be President. His selling point to his followers is that he and Hillary Clinton reached agreement and created the most progressive platform in history.

++I found Trump silence in his tweeting interesting when Michelle spoke. He couldn't answer.

++I watched Bill Clinton give standing ovations to Cory Booker,Elizabeth warren and even Bernie sanders.

++The convention looked like America. More African-Americans took the stage than were at the RNC and more Hispanics spoke in the first two hours than a lll the RNC together.

++Meanwhile Trump said his friends in Russia and China hacked the DNC. He told a crowd in Virginia that we must leave NATO immediately.
