I mentioned this in another comment - agree with you, but I wish he had talked more about climate change. I work for an environmental think tank and have spent most of my time in their climate department, and everyone really respects Bloomberg for the excellent work he’s doing in getting financial institutions to take…

Ba-da-bing! So canny of them to hit him Right There where he’s vulnerable.

There seems to be some discrepancy on people’s interpretation of “in that way” but I’m gonna assume you meant ‘sexually’ and have to agree that my lady loins were deeply moved by their speeches.

That has to be one of the most interesting games of “F-k,Marry,Kill” ever.

I literally broke down in tears this morning just thinking about the fact that Obama will not be our president anymore in a few months. I’m 42 years old, I turned 18 in 1992 and Bill was the first election I got to vote in, and I’m really looking forward to voting for Hillary, but Obama has been a once in a lifetime…

One of them also said something like “We’ve just heard from an actual billionaire...” I was loving it.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s contribution to the discussion after Bloomberg spoke was, “Estimates have Bloomberg’s fortune at 100x Trumps, conservative estimates have it at 10x. This was a calculated blow and it will hurt Trump’s ego.” To which Williams replied, “The Manhattan dinner scene is approximately this *holds up two…

Unlike Donald, Bloomberg is a successful businessman. That’s why it was extremely satisfying to see him take on the cornerstone of Trump’s campaign.

Bloomberg’s speech gave me LIFE because you know Trump was SO PISSED that Bloomberg said he was richer than Donald and threatened his New York cred.

Last time she addressed a convention (in 2008) she was actually pretty awesome, so I’m pretty optimistic that she’ll do great tonight. Hillary’s performance as a public speaker can be hit or miss, but she seems to be able to hit it when it counts the most.

Agreed. Every speech has hit home that Clinton is a million times more qualified than Trump for the job. It’s frankly insulting that they are even in the same competition.

Same here. But that’s really what a lot of the RNC “endorsements” of Trump were boiled down to. They really had no evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, that they could point to to show why Donald would be a good president, so they just had to go with “uh... not Hillary!”

NO ONE TELL THEM IT WASN’T A REAL BABY

Me, too. Hillary is very cautious in her public speaking, at times coming across as aloof, because it seems like she just don’t want to say the wrong thing. I can’t fault that against her; I am the same way. So I am really hoping that because the stage has been set for her (i.e. Michelle Obama, Biden, Kaine, President…

The “well she’s better than Trump” brush off boils my blood. To be clear, I’ll take it all the way to the White House, but fuck you for completely ignoring and/or discrediting her entire life’s work. What the fuck have you done, bro?

Dad night was fun. But i am nervous and excited about Hillary’s speech. After being super upset last week, i felt obama’s speech hit all the right notes in terms of optimism and hope and I loved the way he took swipes at Trump and positioned Hillary as his natural successor. But this is Hillary’s night and i am…

I really didn’t think I’d feel energized heading into November. The RNC was yes, a dumpster fire (a yuuge one at that), but I was a little concerned that the Dems would have trouble coming out from all the negativity. I love being wrong, sometimes.

The contrast between the DNC and RNC is striking. There were lots of heavy hitters speaking last night that it was almost exhausting to watch. Unsurprisingly, Obama and Biden delivered. Kaine was a little hokey for me, but I did think his speech was somewhat effective.
