The DNC should have fewer Washington insiders speaking tonight

[tawadi]

IMHO. People are desperate for change.

[MichiganVote]

1. We're getting it with Clinton/Kaine.

[bettyellen]

2. You mean Sanders and Warren?

[Justice]

3. I think it is going great tonight.

[MADem]

4. You haven't been watching the actual event.

Lesbian state senator from NV, mayor from OH, little kid who is US citizen with undocumented parents, two brothers, one straight/one gay, from the NBA, etc. etc.

Now Al Franken is talking--oooh, INSIDER!!!

Try turning on CSPAN if you want to see who is addressing the crowd, instead of relying on pundits to spoon feed it to you and cut out the BEST speakers in favor of their yammering....

[tawadi]

7. I have been

Just too many members of congress, right out of the gate.

[Agschmid]

13. ...

[MADem]

14. I've seen the Senator from PA--and this IS Philly, so that's right...

Kirsten Gillebrand, who spoke very briefly (and was HRC's REPLACEMENT in the Senate), and Al Franken.

Most of the others that have been speaking in the last hour were NOT federal legislators.


Right now, Anastazia Somoza, a disabled woman and a disability rights advocate, is speaking.

Not a DC insider.

[RandySF]

5. So no Elizabeth Warren?

[tawadi]

11. Looking forward to her

She's the best at tearing down bully Trump.

[MADem]

18. PRIME TIME--Her and Michelle. nt

[grubbs]

6. Yeah

I'm interested to hear what kind of input Hillary's extended family has on the issues.

[tawadi]

8. Funny

Well, where is Bill? I would like to hear him. (not joking)

[annavictorious]

9. Nothing says Washington insider better than someone who has comfortably sat on a back bench

in Congress for the last 24 years without ever once leading a revolution. Or even a kerfufle.

[LisaM]

10. There have been tons of non-Washington insiders speaking

Many of them telling personal stories. I think the lineup is great.

[MADem]

20. These complainers are not watching CSPAN.

It's a different show on CSPAN.

A much better one too--love the crowd shots! The music! The "ads" shown on the monitors between speakers....

People dancing in the aisles right now...!

[mcar]

12. Umm, ok

[Agschmid]

15. This.

[sufrommich]

16. We aren't the Tea Party,we aren't anti government.nt

[comradebillyboy]

17. Maybe some old c-list celebs and the in-laws eh?

It's the Democratic Convention, not a tribute to of Nina Turner, Susan Sarandon and Cornel west.

[tawadi]

19. You know

Sometimes I forget what it's like here and post.

Now I remember.
