[SomeOneInaHat]

I mean, if you count those people as celebs.

Take it from a southerner, the Duck Dynasty guy might as well be God himself, to them.

 

[Violater]

Common sense is not getting through to them.

 

[Vestal]

Corey Booker's Obama speech?

Nope. Corey doesn't have Obamas gift of gab. Obamas voice is just perfect for oration.

 

[Sean C]

True Story: This man rescued people from a burning apartment when he was governor.

Mayor. New Jersey wishes this guy had been governor instead of Christie.

 

[TyrantII]

Stop yelling cory!

He's trying to speak over the Bernie Bros. It's a natural reaction, since hes Mic's but hearing them

 

[alternade]

Cory would be like 10x cuter if if had some kind of facial hair

 

[DorkLord54]

I hope Cory runs for President someday in the future.

I was upset he didn't run this cycle. Come 2020 or 2024, depending on whether Hillary wins, he should definitely go for it.

 

[pigeon]

Also, for people having trouble hearing the speech, the Youtube stream (which is C-Span) sounds great.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

they're saving their cheers for when more than HUGE NERDS are watching

 

[Oblivion]

Asian or White?

 

[WedgeX]

Nope. Corey doesn't have Obamas gift of gab. Obamas voice is just perfect for oration.

Obama is one of the greatest 21st orators.

 

[Big Baybee]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

They wait until the applause stops and boo over the speech itself.

 

[Trouble]

If Bernie gets booed tonight, he fucking earned it by dithering and coddling these buster fucks.

 

[Maxim726X]

Fucking assholes.

I hope Comrade Sanders tears them a new one.

 

[Crisco]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

They do, but they have the sense to be quiet when someone is talking.

 

[Brinbe]

Kaine-Booker 2024

 

[213372bu]

I'm not gonna worry about 90% applause on a day when it started out like it was gonna be a disaster. This is a decent turnaround.

How come whenever there is booing or chanting for Bernie you always say that it's relatively all good and/or you can't hear anything?

What does that accomplish?

It's possible to acknowledge it and disapprove/approve of it.

Saying it isn't an issue at the DNC isn't true. It's a problem that needs to be acknowledged.

 

[Steel]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

They were drowning them out earlier, but honestly it interrupts the speaker when both the Hillary and Bernie supporters chant.

 

[darkwing-buck]

DUDE'S BRINGING THE HEAT

 

[User1608]

Such an awesome, passionate speech!

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

This guy is a fucking baller

 

[Kid Heart]

I wonder if Corey has any plans to run for prez in the future. I think he would have a decent shot tbh.

 

[DietRob]

This is it, Booker's presidential audition for 2024.

Should look even better for him if he can get through it while ignoring the chants and grumbles coming from the floor. Isn't it possilbe to cut all of the mics in the place except for the one on the stage? Or maybe it is already. Can we move the California delegation to the lobby?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Preach it.

 

[Dan]

It's nice that the arena is packed and people are listening to these speeches. Unlike the spare Republican convention the first couple days, and people generally just milling about randomly.

 

[X-Frame]

Who is this guy and why isn't he running for President?!

 

[MHWilliams]

I mean, if you count those people as celebs.

The DNC can draw on a different caliber of celebrity, sure.

Who is this guy and why isn't he running for President?!

Cory Booker. New Jersey senator.

 

[ThusZarathustra]

Love how he just keeps talking right over these childish grousing assholes

 

[SlackAdjuster]

Just as much of a clown show as the other side. If not worse. This is the best we can do, 'Merica?

Fuck.

 

[And_Gignac]

Cory has such a charming, charismatic and handsome face. Dad.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Who is this guy and why isn't he running for President?!

He probably will be in 8 years

 

[Eidan]

Yeah,

Sarah didn't do anyone any favors. Why they had two comedians out there stalling I do not know. Just play some shitty jam band music.

And Silverman isn't someone known for holding her tongue. Her reaction should have been expected.

 

[MetalGearZed]

Bernie or Bust-ers ARE NOT real Bernie supporters. If they were, they'd be voting for Hillary like me and Bernie himself.

 

[Tubie]

Booker 2024 pls

 

[impirius]

YASSS

I get that people are upset, but the "Cory, you a busta" chants are a bit much, imo

 

[WedgeX]

Got dang right, Cory.

 

[titiklabingapat]

I don't really hear the ruckus. What is everyone talking about?

 

[Ray Wonder]

Hollywood burn-outs
Underwear models
No name local and federal politicians
Juliani
Pence
Cruz
Trump and family

and that's about it

I mean if you're gonna do it, go all out I guess. lol

Are Kid Rock and Ted Nugent still celebs? Genuine question.

Swear I'm not sure. Ted maybe.

If Bernie gets booed tonight, he fucking earned it by dithering and coddling these buster fucks.

Agreed

 

[bgbball31]

Cory Booker bringing straight truth right now. So good.

 

[Dinokill]

Dems are about prosperity, union and advance while the GOP is about fear, they are comming to get us and enemies.

 

[Bloomers]

damn

Booker 2020 plz

 

[Raitosaito]

Take it from a southerner, the Duck Dynasty guy might as well be God himself, to them.

Hoenst question, since you have some insight.
What do they see in him?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

Apparently Sanders supporters are closer to the microphone, so they sound louder than they actually are. Most the people at the convention cannot hear the boos.

 

[BitStyle]

Just as much of a clown show as the other side. If not worse. This is the best we can do, 'Merica?

Fuck.

What kind of convention are you watching?
There have been some great speeches tonight.
Can't say the same about any of the RNC last week.

 

[malingenie]

Yup, it was a complete misstep. They weren't going to suddenly see the light and get in line.

She addressed the elephant in the room, somebody had to. And she was one of the big Bernians. It was a gamble that may not have paid off.

 

[Dirca]

And everyone thought the DNC would be the civil, "adult" convention that RNC wasn't. Hilarious.

 

[LiK]

Booker dealt with assholes when he was running for office for the first time. The BoB guys are nothing to him.

 

[Justin]

Shouldn't Hillary Supporters out number Sanders supporters and drown out the noise and cheer louder or are they just chilling? I just seem them dancing holding up signs etc.,

Chris Hayes just posted that almost all of the boos is coming from a group of 50 CA delegates.

 

[pigeon]

I feel like this podium is not monitored correctly. Everybody is yelling because they can't hear themselves.

 

[JABEE]

Cory Booker is great. I remember seeing him speak 7 years ago when I was in high school.
