2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumthank you MSNBC !!!!!!!!!!!!
For your constant yapping and chit chat over the roll call,
your self-serving nonsense chatter in lieu of speeches
I wanted to hear. Brian, Rachel, Kornacke, Hayes !!!
And a special shout out to Chuck Todd for his unbelievable comment
about the roll call being his favorite part which he talked over at least
50% of the time.
Never again will I tape an important event unless it is c-span.

(101 posts)I'm missing most of the convention anyway because I'm on vacation. I wanted to see some of it on MSNBC but the La Quinta Inn I am staying only has Fox and CNN cable news.

(1,728 posts)I found the roll call one of the most interesting parts of the convention. I don't want to their chit chat when real people are doing important stuff on the floor. Loved how each state or territory bragged on their home.

(17,504 posts)multiple ballot conventions and wide differences between the state delegations, who tried to whip up support for their "favorite sons." Nowadays, the voting could simply be texted in to a computerized database, and the whole process completed in just a few minutes.
However, for the reasons stated above, I think it's a great tradition and I hope it never goes away.

I don't know if it's available via the Internet, but I get it through Roku (and unlike a lot of similar outlets, it's free and doesn't require a subscription).
