Winners and losers from the first night of the Democratic convention (Acid Reflux)
Washington Post ^ | 7/26/2016 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 07/26/2016 4:20:52 AM PDT by HomerBohn

A tumultuous first day of the Democratic National Convention is in the books. I watched, tweeted and, candidly, ate and drank. (I mean, it was a long day.)

My take on the best and worst of the night that was is below.

Winners

* Michelle Obama: An absolute home run. Period. It will be difficult for anyone in the next three days to deliver a better speech than the first lady did on Monday night. She used her personal story of raising two young African American girls in the White House to tie her husband's history-making presidency to the history-making bid of Hillary Clinton. She was poised, calm and convincing. When she teared up talking about what it would mean to her, Malia and Sasha to see a woman elected president, it was an instantly memorable moment.

Remember this, too: Michelle Obama is not a politician. She has not run for any office — yet. It is not easy to get up and deliver a heartfelt, effective speech in front of a bunch of rowdy delegates and millions of people watching at home. Michelle Obama did it with an ease that suggests she may not be on the sidelines of the political game for much longer.

Like Hillary? (churchlady's voice)

....."I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters,..."

Except Conservatives.

I’m curious as to how many watched. My wife went to bed early and I read a book.

They stayed on Warren for the whole speech. Maybe she is the one being groomed.

The Dems will have to nominate a woman in 2020, because their party will not have accomplished Everything We Need until it provides America with its first woman president, its first Latino/a president, and its first male openly homosexual president.

For 2020, it could be Michelle--which would be another reason why the Obamas have chosen to stay in DC after his term ends--it could (but probably won't) be Warren, it could be Lucy Flores, or Mazie Hirono (Sen-HI), or any of a dozen others. But if I'm right and the Democrats have decided this is the year to lose so that the Clintons can be driven out of their position of power, the Chicago-mob leadership is already in the process of deciding who to groom for the nomination four years from now.

Is the press fact-checking Moochelle’s speech for plaigarism?

"...her personal story of raising two young African American girls in the White House..."

...in the White House that was built by slaves...

You forgot the most important part.

I just saw “Washington Post” and immediately treated the story like an email I didn’t want.

It was, however, interesting to read the take on the losers.

Haven’t seen the ratings numbers yet. Nothing new. Hillary is for the Children. She will stand up for the children. This doesn’t mean she has any intention of doing ANYTHING. She justs has good intentions. Now get them F^^king Retards off the WH Lawn.

The writer reveals the penchant for Leftists to see people not as individuals, but as groups.

I have no use whatsoever for any Obama, any Clinton and any Democrat!!! I also believe you will find out the opinion of the vast numbers of the American people a few weeks down the road. And.....I do not think it will be good news for Obama, Clinton and the entire Democrat party!!! Bottom line: Trump in a landslide victory for POTUS!!!

Exactly.

Michelle Obama hates America.

Take the family to see Hillary's America. D'Souza exposed the Democrat Party for what it is.

Mrs. Obozo reminds me of George Kingfish Stevens’ wife Sapphire.

as played by Ernestine Wade, who, BTW, was quite an attractive woman in her prime...much as (and I know I’ll get roasted for this, but) at times I find Mrs. Obama...sorry, but I do...

as to her other good qualities, if any, I have no knowledge...

Acid Reflux - LOL! Most inventive barf alert I've seen in some time.

I tried to catch a few minutes of the DNC rehash this morning. First time bacon and egg ever turned on me.
