Democrats' Mentions of Trump on Pace to Exceed RNC References to Clinton (138 on day one)
ABC News ^ | Jul 26, 2016, 12:35 AM ET | Adam Kelsey

After watching Republicans invoke Hillary Clinton’s name almost 300 times in just four days last week at their convention, Democrats returned the favor on day one of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The terms “Donald,” “Trump” or “Donald Trump” appeared in an ABC News transcript of the DNC 138 times unique times on Monday, including references to the Republican nominee as well as buildings, the university named for Trump and even the businessman’s line of steaks.

Among notable speakers during the evening session of the convention, Trump was extremely popular. Major speakers such as New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker -- who used Trump’s name nine times -- and Minnesota Sen. Al Franken -- 13 -- repeatedly referred to the rival candidate as they compared his campaign to that of Hillary Clinton. Franken humorously noted he was a student of Trump University.

“The pride of Trump University, of course, is its library, located on a shelf in a closet on the third floor of Trump Tower,” said Franken. “All of Mr. Trump’s bestsellers are available for sale at a special rate.”

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren made the most total mentions of Trump, with 22. Warren is a frequent combatant of Trump’s on Twitter and she wasn’t afraid to call him out during her nearly 20 minutes behind the microphone.

Is there a place to see the running counts of certain words? Like guns, black, hate, rich, racist, privilege, etc.?

Chinese finger trap.

The DNC just can’t figure it out.

The eyes of Donald are upon you
All the live long days
The eyes of Donald are upon you
And you cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them
From night till early in the morn
The eyes of Donald are upon you
Till Gabriel blows his horn

They have to mention Donald non-stop; if they mention Hillary it will be boos all night.

LOL!

Gotta love it.

Does that even include the veiled references to Trump, like Michelle’s “140 characters?”
