uniting around hammering Trump. Things are really coming together. And give credit to Bernie and his political leader supporters like Ellison and Merkley telling these people to UNITE.

Turn on C-span and enjoy the show. It's extremely well choreographed and lots of great entertainment.

I've been watching for hours and except for a short outburst when Sarah Silverman was on it's been quite smooth for hours. Yet I come here and see post after post from Hillary supporters making it sound like the convention has been a full blown riot all day and night long. I suspect it's so they can continue to throw gratuitous shots are people who aren't, in their eyes, being sufficiently sycophantic.

Yes, there was some noticeable bad behavior for an hour or so after the convention was gaveled in at 4. Behavior that many Bernie supporters here publicly disagreed with. But it's been several hours of almost total smooth sailing. Chill! Remember, it's a political convention, not a high school pep rally.

And the Bernie stuff is over although still
there kind of in a good way. They aren't silencing them totally because that's not what our orty is about, we are winning them over.

is an excellent speaker but he seems to be going '88 Bill Clinton on us. Time for the next speaker Cory.
