1. Ooh, that is a DEEP lineup tonight.

So wish I could stay up all night and watch it all! What an amazing group of people.

[UtahLib]

2. Thank you

[Lisa D]

3. Wow, great line up!

I didn't know Dr. Jill Biden would also be speaking.

[JI7]

4. is bloomberg really that influential ?

He is the only one i don't care for. And given too good a time slot to speak also.

[geek tragedy]

14. He's a centrist/moderate/independent billionaire who should be able to take Trump

apart. He HATES Trump.

He'll also be able to give moderate Republicans cover to support Clinton.

[karynnj]

16. His philanthropy has done great work both against climate change and against guns - both issues

where Trump is horrible and his positions are better than many Democrats.

Not to mention as you say he knows Trump and hopefully will speak of what he personally knows.

[eissa]

5. President Obama is going last?!

How disrespectful

Edit: Just in case people don't get the joke, it's in response to the Bernie delegate who whined that Bernie wasn't being respected because his speech was scheduled last on Monday.

[question everything]

9. Wonder the same. Wondered where, exactly, can they put him

I don't remember a recent convention, of either party, when a sitting president was speaking. Perhaps Reagan in 1988..

[karynnj]

18. Bill Clinton at Al Gore's convention nt

[question everything]

19. Thank you, I did not remember. I do remember that the Gore cammpaign had to juggle

distancing from "bad boy" Clinton and the improved economy during his administration.

[karynnj]

22. He did let Clinton have a prime speaking slot and allowed him to have the most

spectacular, Hollywood style entrance to the convention. 2000 was sufficiently before youtube, that I can find descriptions, but not a video to link to.

[KittyWampus]

10. Nobody wants to follow him.

LOL

[TexasProgresive]

11. The best acts are always last. n/t

[question everything]

20. Except for this young distraught Sanders delegate who complained

that "they put him last." And was not sure whether she would vote for Clinton.

[R B Garr]

6. Fired up! Ready to go!

Thx for posting this.

[Hortensis]

7. Just what I was going to look up. Thanks, Brooklynite.

[charlyvi]

8. I'll have to take a nap so I can stay awake for all of these speakers

HEY REPUBLICANS! Remember when you all were bragging about what a deep bench you had for 2016? Remember? Well, THIS is a deep bench!. Your whole party is just a shallow little step stool that Donald Trump used to showcase your bankrupt ideology to the world.

[lovemydog]

12. President Obama - hell yeah!

[grossproffit]

13. Lenny Kravitz! Omg!

Yes, I'm that shallow.

[geek tragedy]

15. this should be powerful
