The 2020 Democratic Convention

Agreed completely. That said, he'll still draw a lot of votes simply to avoid giving the Democrats full control of the US government.
Biden is winning the election just by letting Trump speak and Tweet.
The "Dementia Joe" meme is being proved false by Biden's speeches and comments during the Convention. His acceptance speech should be a good indication of what he plans for his administration.
While I still think Biden is one-term President due to age...and obvious love for his wife, I no longer think he won't finish his first term. At least not for age-related dementia.
Agreed but that goes for all normal sane, mature Americans. While I think Biden's speech will be good, I'm curious to see how Harris will present her speech and what she says. There is obviously a very hard far left pull being exerted within the Democratic party. That pull was so hard that it pushed Pelosi into expending political capital and time on an impeachment she knew would end in failure to convict because of the Republican Senate.
While I think Biden is strong enough to stand up against that pull, I have my doubts about Harris. As VP, that doesn't matter much, but if Biden has to leave for medical issues (small chance) or doesn't run in 2024 (good chance he won't) then Harris will be the main contender for the Democrat's nominee.
I fully support all Washington Republicans gathering tightly in one room, no masks and talking for two weeks.

Isn't it amazing how all the Democrats and Republicans that are speaking at the convention are keeping everything above belt to point out the 180 degree contrasts of the Republican contender with Joe Biden- AND JUST HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH- WITHOUT EXAGGERATION or BEING INSULTING or Hateful.
Yet, just listen to Fox News , Donald Trump, and his supporters being their usual insulting liars, exaggerating, and hitting below the belt about the Democrats and Joe Biden.
It's just a whole different class of people!
I am very proud of my Democrat leaders and the Republicans speaking up for Joe Biden right now for showing how classy they are.
Agreed. It's a good contrast and strategy but I'm not sure they can keep it up. Especially the hotheads.
Since every speech is on the internet the next day, what's the point of watching live?
If it is dreary and poorly done what's the point of watching it at all?
Remember that the media experts are almost all supporting the D's....this is the best they could do?
Conventions are rarely a popular TV event, unless you are a political junkie.
Who says it's dreary? Did you watch last night's roll call? Anything but dreary.
What point are you trying to make? Just spit it out, Junior.
Maybe we could talk about how The Apprentice's ratings tanked so bad, NBCU replaced Trump with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
The initial infections in the US came from Europe mostly, not China.
China was warning us about this in 2019. Trump ignored the warnings, and you defended and coddled his ignorance.
Now, 170,000+ dead all get to fall squarely on you.
So you get the blame. Not China, not Trump, YOU.
Tell me, which convention did you find exciting?
I just did a tour of a bunch of lefty sites.....I did not find anyone willing to claim that this convention has brought the quality.
The people running it need to step it up big time.
Did anyone talk to the Hollywood experts?
LOL. That's pretty funny. Dental appointment might be funnier.
Night 2 was better. Let's see if the trend continues. For those interested; a 2020 Republican Convention is here.
LOL. Must see TV.
So far, I think the Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot going after the Gun Banner vote. Over 15 minutes into tonight's presentation and they are still bitching about guns and to ban them.
Didn't Trump claim he handpicked Arnold then blamed Arnold for screwing up the show?
