I just viewed the video of the father of Captain Kahn rebuking Donald Trump.

I made it through all of the other speeches just fine. Joe Biden, Tim Kaine, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech (which, unlike all of the others, I managed to see live...)

But halfway through Mr. Kahn's speech, I broke down and cried.

It was too much...

We've lost so much to Republican treachery and ineptitude. We've had eight years to try and make it better, and we have. But there's so much more to do. We can't afford to give the Republicans another chance to ruin this country.

Mr. Kahn's speech left me speechless...
