I've watched every convention since 1960

and I haven't cried until tonight. 3rd time already

[herding cats]

1. I younger but have seen many all since the 1990's.

I'm relived to know I'm not just an emotional mess and that this is that moving!

[calguy]

2. I can still remember the 1960 convention

I was a wide eyed ten year old boy totally consumed in the moment. John Kennedy was such an inspiration.

3. This is a beautiful opening to such an important moment....

.....that, honestly, usually is as boring as heck! I had no notions of how they were going to pull this off. So far, it is flawless, inspiring, and interesting.

4. I was very skeptical but

holy shit

5. There's more connection and anger in this convention.

Don't need pageants, need to hear from people who are suffering needlessly. This is actually the perfect messaging event I've seen by the DNC. Great production. And we are going to listen and comment and come together - like no time in history. We are all in against a Trump bluff to take over this government, un-democratically. Ain't happening.

6. This is extremely well done.

Deeply well done.

7. We the People

never saw it in such clarity.

8. It feels a lot like 1976 to me,

I was 14, and enthralled with our ticket. Felt like the Nixon era was finally dying.

Hey, I was 14 and with youth hope springs eternal.

9. I'm going to have to stop by Costco tomorrow for a pallet of tissues.

10. They are doing a very good job ...

A lot of meaningful moments. Very well put together.

I do happen to love the hoopla, and all the delegates together etc, but obviously health and safety is the first order of this event.

My first convention when I was 15 was the oh, so quiet 1968 Chicago Convention. Grieving for RFK. Watching the police riot in ?Grant Park. Sen Abraham Ribicoff giving it to then Mayor Daley.
We were on vacation. Came back to the hotel after dinner and watch it. Egads. Watched many more since then.


I look forward to the next 3 nights.
