What last night really showed is that there will be a
profound, fundamental imbalance between the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
campaigns when it comes to the wattage of surrogates out there making the case
this fall.
The biggest speeches of the night, from New Jersey Senator
Cory Booker, Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, projected a
tone that seemed designed to contrast sharply with the hate-and-rage-fest
otherwise known as the GOP convention. All of them, in one way or another,
sought to align the Democratic Party, optimistically and aspirationally, with
culturally and demographically changing America. They explicitly called out
Trumpism — the rendition of it featured at the GOP convention — as brimming
over with reactionary hostility towards the evolving and diversifying America
of the 21st century.
Bless you all, and see the Drive-By Truckers at LGM. And see this clip at Crazy Eddie's. John Oliver on the Rep convention.
Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to link back to your post when I use those Trumputin cartoons and give your a hat/tip, too!
