On the decision to change the DNC venue...

my first reaction was that this was a very prudent call which shows the Democratic leadership's respect and concern for the safety of the people attending as well as the crews working the event. Good for them, it was the right thing to do.

Safety is paramount. One person can take a video of the stadium tomorrow and video the weather. If there is such danger there, we will know easily. Thunderstorm cells are nothing to laugh about.

I have seen a lightning split apart a tree in Wisconsin.
