14. I was thinking the same. Warren, Michelle, Bernie, and now Bill!

And all the others that spoke before them! I can't believe we're two days left to go. I mean...there are MORE speakers like these? I admit to not watching much of the RNC, but I can't imagine that a single one of the Republicans gave a speech that could match for even the least of these Democrats.

It's barely a contest. The RNC was like an afternoon of lazy guys engaging in half-hearted sports out on their front lawns. The DNC is like watching Olympians perform those same sports. There's an ease in their mastery of speaking, they come across as genuine, true, their hearts in what they're saying, and honest. So very honest.

There's not been a false note yet. It really restores my faith in America to see politicians, and people like this. So intelligent, thoughtful, and decent. This DNC is really turning out to be one for the history books.

17. After his vision and insight into what Hillary's life's work has been to this point, he asked,

(Paraphrasing) "So, how does this square with what you heard last week in Cleveland? How can you square what I've told you about Hillary with what they told you about her? You can't. It doesn't square. The reason is simple: One is real, and the other is made up." It was quite the build to that (and I probably butchered it), but it got a legitimate "HOOT!" out of me. My dog can attest to that.
