- JESSE JACKSON WAS JUST WHEELED INTO THE CONVENTION CENTER. HE WAS WELL RECEIVED AND HE LOOKS GOOD CONSIDERING THE MEDICAL AILMENTS, HE HAS AND IS FACING.
- IT IS 6:32 PM, CST AND THE PLACE IS PACKED.
- VIDEOS OF TRUMP'S INEPTITUDE IN STATEMENTS REGARDING COVID-19 ARE AIRING. I WONDER HOW MANY FOLKS REALLY DAMAGED THEMSELVES BY LISTENING TO "DR. TRUMP" AND INGESTED BLEACH AND OTHER THINGS HE SUGGESTED TO COMBAT COVID-19? FROM WHERE DID HE GET HIS MEDICAL DOCTOR'S DEGREE? WE HAD OVER 1,000,000 PEOPLE DIE IN OUR NATION DIE FROM COVID-19. ...AND MORE CONTINUE TO DIE, ALL BE IT AT A LESSER DEGREE. TRUMP AND COMPANY WILL FOREVER HAVE MANY OF THOSE NEEDLESS DEATHS, AS THEIR LEGACY.
- AS THE DEMS KICK-OFF THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE CONVENTION, THE DIVERSITY IN THE CONVENTION HALL IS SO STRIKING, IN COMPARISON TO THE GOP CONVENTION. THAT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU NOTICE IN THE VISUALS.
- RACHEL MADOW AND CREW (JUST JOINED THE BROADCAST FROM NEW YORK. SHE IS TALKING PLATITUDES REGARDING PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR PUTTING OUR NATION BEFORE ANY OF HIS PERSONAL AMBITIONS. LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS KEYNOTE SPEECH, TONIGHT.
- REGARDING THE DEM CONVENTION RACHEL SAYS, "DEMS ARE NOW GOING TO A WEDDING AFTER THINKING THEY WERE GOING TO A FUNERAL". MY FIRST CANDIDATE FOR QUOTE OF THE NIGHT!
- BIDEN TO MAKE THE CASE FOR HARRIS TO SUCCEED HIM IN HIS SPEECH... PASSING THE TORCH!
- I AM STILL AMAZED AT HOW MUCH THE AUDIENCE REALLY LOOKS LIKE OUR NATION IN COMPARISON TO THE GOP CONVENTION.
- SEN DICK DURBIN (D-ILLINOIS) SPEAKING ON TRUMP'S FAILURES. "...TRUMP IS A FAILED LEADER. HE IS ONE OF ONLY TWO FORMER PRESIDENTS THAT LEFT OFFICE WITH MORE UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS INTHE ECONOMY, THAN WHEN HE CAME INTO OFFICE." MY SECOND CANDIDATE FOR QUOTE OF THE NIGHT!
- RACHEL ASKS, "JUST WHAT WILL POTUS DO WITH THE TIME HE HAS LEFT IN OFFICE?"
- LOT OF POSITIVE ENERGY IN THE ROOM. CROWD REACTS TO UNION PRESIDENTS OF AFSME, SAIU, AND OTHERS. REPRESENTING OVER 7,000,000 UNION MEMBERS. CROWN CHANTS "UNION YES", "UNION YES". UNION PRESIDENTS ARE LINING UP FOR 3-5 MINUTE SPEECHES, IN SUPPORT OF THE DEMS.
- GOV JOSH SHAPIRO (D-PENNSYLVANIA) SPEAKS WITH JOY REID, MSNBCNEWS CORRESPONDENT. HE SAYS THE OVER 750,000 UNION MEMBERS IN PENNSYLVANIA ARE ENTHUSIASTICALLY ALL IN FOR KAMALA HARRIS.
- JOY REID ASKS GOV SHAPIRO IF HIS FAITH (JEWISH) HAD ANY IMPACT IN HIS NOT BEING CHOSEN AS HER VP CANDIDATE. HE STATED UNEQUIVOCALLY "NO" IT HAD NO IMPACT. (BEING THE PRAGMATIST I AM, I AM NOT SO SURE I TOTALLY ACCEPT THAT ASSESSMENT AT FACE VALUE.) ...BUT AS I WAS NOT IN THE ROOM, I CANNOT REFUTE IT EITHER.)
- GOV SHAPIRO SAYS A TWO-STATE SOLUTION IS GAZA IS AT THE ROOT OF ANY POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR.
- VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS MAKES HER FIRST PRESENCE AT THE CONVENTION. SHE THANKS POTUS IN HER FIRST REMARKS. WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE PRESIDENT JOE BIDDEN, TONIGHT. "WE ARE NOT GOING BACK" "...WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN".
- STEVE KERR. USA 2024 NBA & OLYMPIC TEAM COACH SPEAKS. WATCHING TEAM USA EMBRACE THEIR MEDALS AT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM MADE HIM PROUD. LEADERS MUST LOVE AND CARE FOR THE PEOPLE THEY LEAD. HE SEES THAT CHARACTER IN KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ. HE SAYS HE WILL BE GETTING OUT EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE FOLKS VOTE ON NOVEMBER 5TH. MY THIRD CANDIDATE FOR QUOTE OF THE NIGHT! "IN THE WORDS OF STEP CURRY ON THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 5TH, WE WILL ALL BE ABLE TO TELL DONALD TRUMP, 'NITE-NITE' "
- UAW PRESIDENT SHAWN FAIN SAYS, "KAMALA IS ONE OF US AND TRUMP IS A SCAB!" IN THE WORDS OF NELLY; IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE. HE REMOVES HIS JACKET TO REVEAL A T-SHIRT WITH "TRUMP IS A SCAB - VOTE HARRIS" INSCRIPTION. TRUMP IS ALL TALK, HARRIS WALKS THE WALK. WHEN THE UAW STANDS UP, WE KNOW WHO WITH US AND WHO STANDS AGAINST US.
- WHILE POTUS SPEECH WAS WELL RECEIVED IT WAS PRIMARILY A REHASH OF HIS STUMP SPEECH, (WITH A LOT MORE ENERGY AS HE IS APPARENTLY NOW WELL-RESTED); IT WAS WAY TOO LONG.
- GONNA TRY FAUX NEWS TONIGHT, IF THEY EVEN BOTHER TO COVER IT.
