Sorry, but there is no comparison

between the GOP Convention and ours. They had nothing but hate and fear coming from their speakers.

(And for those who are confused, I reregistered as a Dem to support Bernie. )

There is a vocal minority who are upset, but many of them are already starting to calm down. As Mark Shields just said on PBS, Al Franken's speech seems to have lightened things up, Anastasia Samoza's speech further calmed things down. I think people are just venting. And, Sarah Silverman is doing a great job of trying to bring folks together.
