It is both informative and entertaining and well choreographed. I'm blown away by the videos, the Trump moments, the speakers, the entertainers and how well scheduled it is. The other thing that I am blown away by is how the speeches are so well coordinated with the signage that is being displayed during their speeches. That really takes some planning and coordinating with the speakers and the delegates in the audience. It almost seems that all the speeches are coordinated to say just the right things at the right time in theme with the topic of the convention for the day. It's almost like the same person wrote all the speeches and the speakers were just there to deliver them. So I congratulate the planners, directors and producers. They have done a wonderful job and the DNC is running circles around the RNC.
I had this funny thought that this was all Hillary's doing - in that just like young women have a wedding planning book - that Hillary had a presidential planning book. Since she was a young woman just getting into politics that she kept this scrapbook and planned out her campaign, the nominating convention and the inauguration.
Please forgive me I've been sleep deprived lately due to a health issue and I get silly.
I think though that this would make a great SNL skit.

(15,805 posts)Evidently there a squad of well coordinated people spread out throughout the venue whose sole job is to pass out all the different signs we see on the convention floor. The appearance of specific signage is timed to coincide with whatever program or speaker is playing out on the stage. Different shapes, colors, and the message, all matching the stage show. As an extra bonus, the attendees get to keep the signs as mementos of the convention.
Now I pay more attention to the rollout of all the new signs. The organization down to the smallest detail, like signs, just amazes me. I can't recall that Trump had anything like this, just one or two different Trump placards.

I was impressed in 2008 and 2012 how Obama managed his campaign. And I thought if he does this good of a job managing his campaign he'll do fine running the country. I was not wrong.

(22,037 posts)The Democratic National Convention has been choreographed expertly and programmed for maximum impact. It's ben intelligent, entertaining and informative. Compared to the chaos of the RNC, this is how the professionals put on a show.
I'm confident that this is an example of how well prepared the Clinton Campaign is and that the battles that will begin next week will not go in Donald Trump's favor.

Kudos to all involved in the background, they are doing a stellar job.
