FURTHER THOUGHTS ON DAY ONE.

++It is clear that Republicans that are disgusted with Trump want an excuse to vote for Hillary Clinton. You can sense it in jennifer Rubin's op-ed tonight. She liked the staging, the speeches,the talks about America but wanted less the left economic talk. Even Andrew Sullivan talked about all the immigrants talking feeling it gave Trump an opening. Didn't Democrats believe in rule of law and some system for immigrants? You can feel it around the edges. The Democrats have the best party ,can't we join. These people know Cleveland was disgusting and it made their skin crawl.

++Maybe Bloomberg will get the attention he deserves when he makes a moderate Republican's defense of Hillary.

++I can't help thinking that the bridge from Obama to Clinton won't have cognitive dissonance. Obama people use language a different way than Clinton people. The Obama people can make a progressive point without you knowing the ideology around it. It maybe why people don't how the same comfort level with Hillary.

++One of the unstated themes of this Convention is character. By the end the convention should convince you to trust Hillary--which was Michelle's understated point. Did you notice that Michelle never mentioned Trump's name--just alluded to him.

++Despite the media a hype, Pew finds that 90% of Bernie supporters back Hillary. 

++Obama's convention built in momentum. Let's see whether Hillary's will do the same.
