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

Fuck.

Not sure how you can watch these speeches and think that.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Bill Clinton looking like on the verge of tears.

 

[DrForester]

I don't know anything about this guy, but I'm liking what he's saying.

 

[Brinbe]

CORY NAILING IT

 

[Zukkoyaki]

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.

I would be shocked if this is the case for the rest of the week. And that's if they just don't invite these guys back.

 

[SDBurton]

DID YOU HEAR THAT OVERWATCH PLAYERS!!??

Ayyyyyyyyyyyy LOL

 

[Tarkus]

Bill looks like he about to die lol

I bet you an avatar that he will not make it to 2020.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

The only speech so far in both conventions that is actually working for me.

 

[dream]

I don't know anything about this guy, but I'm liking what he's saying.

Here's some good background on him

[EatinOlives]

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

The audience is childish but the content in the speeches is night and day.

 

[diaspora]

Booker sounding a bit... hoarse.

 

[megalowho]

Bernie should do a preemptive strike and tell them all to fuck off on live TV.

He really should call them out. They're an embarrassment to his name at this point. This isn't what he fought so hard for, both on the campaign trail and in obtaining concessions and changes in the party platform put forth.

Edit: and I don't mean Bernie supporters in general, just the obnoxious delegates at the convention.

 

[spunodi]

'Div-is-ive' again.

'Div-I-sive' sounds much better.

Terrible nitpick, awesome speech otherwise and great takedown.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

No one has done a Nazi salute in this convention, and there isn't a Democrat who threw the entire party under the bus yet, so no.

Perception is things aren't under control or united.

 

[Movement]

Have we forgotten how Cory Booker gentrified Newark?

Not talking about it every second doesn't mean that it is being ignored.

 

[Steel]

I bet you an avatar that he will not make it to 2020.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

 

[MHWilliams]

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

Heavy evangelical, "traditional" family man, entrepreneur who made millions. He is the embodiment of their endgame.

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

Needs a few more years as a Senator. 2024.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Dis speech

 

[Kevinroc]

Trump did say that about a POW from Vietnam. He insulted McCain.

 

[WedgeX]

I voted for Bernie. I went into this convention wanting messages of unity, love, turning away from hate and fearmongering.

Booker is killing it. I cannot wait for the rest of the week.

 

[StoOgE]

'Div-is-ive' again.

'Div-I-sive' sounds much better.

Terrible nitpick, awesome speech otherwise and great takedown.

oh, that soft i is dope as fuck.

 

[BillWalton]

Great speech. Booker has to learn when to bring it down a bit though. It will make the high notes even stronger. A lot of these lines would resonate better if they weren't yelled.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

YES COREY DRAG THAT YAM!!! DRRRRAAAAAAGGGGG

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Booker sounding a bit... hoarse.

Yeah, and?

 

[Tarkus]

Wow, that escalated quickly.

I know his past medical history

 

[NYCmetsfan]

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

streetfight is good

 

[Soulscribe]

Any idea how many more are speaking before Bernie? There's still Warren too right?

 

[impirius]

Booker is killing it. This is the best speech yet from either convention.

 

[CMojicaAce]

 

[MetalGearZed]

If Booker becomes pres one day, I fully expect Key & Peele skits with the roles reversed

 

[Stinkles]

Well, today marks the day I stopped feeling any sympathy for Bernie Bros. If this is how they behave when they lose, then they're basically Sports fans setting fire to cars. This wasn't about principles, it was about affinity and nothing else.

This is politics Bernie Bros. It hasn't changed. It's no more or less corrupt than before you discovered it. Stop being astonished and start paying attention to the damage Trump can actually do to our nation.

Stop feeling sorry for yourselves and start feeling sorry for immigrants, women, African Americans, the poor, the homeless, Muslims and anyone else Trump has shat on and will use as fodder for his racist cavalcade of nonsense and pandering.

 

[WedgeX]

Great speech. Booker has to learn when to bring it down a bit though. It will make the high notes even stronger. A lot of these lines would resonate better if they weren't yelled.

He was working over the ruckus and is keeping it down right now with his tone. It's good.

 

[spunodi]

oh, that soft i is dope as fuck.

It would be ironic to hold firm and disagree. I call for unity. Soft I will be acceptable.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

This speech is primetime fire.

 

[Rookje]

 

[Ray Wonder]

Booker is killing it. This is the best speech yet from either convention.

Yeah for real, just end it. We don't need to hear boos for Bernie

 

[Wilsongt]

Jesus. Booker going iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

He wants to be president one day.

OH DAMN. Invoking Lincoln!

 

[Geg]

Any idea how many more are speaking before Bernie? There's still Warren too right?

Michelle Obama, Warren, and I think at least one other person before him

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Booker is killing it. This is the best speech yet from either convention.

Just think, we got Michelle, Bernie and Warren waiting in the wings.

 

[Diablos]

What's wrong with Bill? Is he angry or something

 

[EnlightenedMint]

He's a really good speaker and will certainly run in the next presidential election, but I'm not a huge fan of his politics.

 

[Staccat0]

Great speech. Booker has to learn when to bring it down a bit though. It will make the high notes even stronger. A lot of these lines would resonate better if they weren't yelled.

Obama is the BEST at that shit.

 

[massoluk]

Killing it, dude's just killing it

 

[sangreal]

pay the iron price

Dat education. Corey should run for President some day.

 

[User1608]

So much charisma goddamn.

Don't read David Jaffee's Twitter...

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Really liking this speech.

Glad that the BoB people seem to have become quiet.

 

[NullPointer]

Indeed.
