2016 Postmortem

The delegates on tv look like they're as nutty as a fruit cake, but I actually like fruit cake. It's a happy, fun-loving crazy, not the blind with hatefulness crazy that we saw last week.
The crowd also looks more like the America I know, not the America that thinks that Ozzie and Harriet is the norm.
We're going to get a good show, a positive and optimistic vision of our future under Democratic leadership.
The world doesn't have to be a scary place unless that's how we want it to be.
Time to make a choice.
Let's get this party started.

Choir opening is an interesting choice-- start out with a slap in Trump's face. Dunno if that was the intent, but the contrast is welcome.

(934 posts)I don't need media spin from the crazies on the right or the very, very concerned on the left.
And as an added bonus, in my sixth decade, I will watch my party nominate a woman.
Let's get the party started indeed.
