Day 3 of DNC Convention In 5 Bullet Points


  1. Enter The Ruckus: Many groups attempted to disrupt various speeches by chanting. They were met with chants of, "USA!" This was much more disruptive than the previous two days, but, as you might expect, the result is greater unity against disruptions. 
  2. Gun Violence: It's a major theme tonight, from survivor after survivor coming up to talk about the value of life and the importance of reducing gun violence. The inspirational highlight was Gabby Giffords, fighting through the difficulties, speaking to the arena.
  3. Working Class: As working class hero, Joe Biden got serious and ran down the litany of truths about Donald, but most of all, explained that Donald does not care about the working class. When he said that Donald has no clue, the arena picked up on that and started chanting, "Not a clue!"
  4. Competencies: Michael Bloomberg delivered a fine speech, drawing distinctions to support the "sane and competent" candidate over the reality-TV candidacy of Donald, while espousing Americans to vote for Hillary not because they're Democrats, but for love of country. In the business world, he outright stated that Donald was a con who stole, lied and cheated people out of money to make his own.
  5. The Audacity of Hope: Barack Obama, battling Michelle Obama for the best speech of the convention, spoke eloquently to both sides of the aisle by pushing the spirit and values of America, pointing to 'we' the people who do the hard work, in hopes for a better future, contrasting that dark, hate and terror filled world where only Donald says he could rescue us. It was the no-dry-eyes speech of the night.
