* GD 16 Democratic convention Thread - Day 1 *

Because it's about GD 16 time we have one.

These one line threads are duplicitous and hard to follow.

For those of us not watching please let's consolidate posts.

Thanks.

One question I have is why don't the Hillary supporters simply overchant the BOBs? "HILLARY-HILLARY-HILLARY!"

Show them how much support the ticket actually has.

I've seen him being interviewed, but never give a speech. He's just amazing!

I do not agree with Bernie Sanders on many disputed issues. I think his policy positions are not realistic and would cause many unintended consequences. A $15 dollar min doesn't work in the Alabama labor market and we need to establish the economic rules for the future, thus the TPP is essential. That said, I would vote for him a million times before I would vote for Trump. Trump is a true danger to this nation. This party has to get behind Hilary and if this convention goes badly, that might not happen.

Bernie, you have to make it clear the dangers of Bernie or Bust. You have to be convincing. This first day has me worried. Reverse this.
