A Night At the Opera: Day One of the Democratic National Convention
American Thinker ^ | 20 Aug, 2024 | Howard J. Warner

The Democrats made sure Joe Biden's big night would have him starting late, when viewers would be headed for bed.

With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night.

In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities.

I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president.

Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite being booted from the ticket.

Biden himself did not get to talk till after 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast, though, way past his bedtime, and when most viewers have gone to sleep.

The short six-minute speech by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier, though, demonstrated her charisma and she delivered a talk that brought the audience to its feet. Sadly, it was full of falsehoods and platitudes and missed realities. Her speech was short on detail but it indicated that for Democrats, the unifying issue will be abortion.

Hillary Clinton, also spoke, and though not as rousing as AOC, delivered a speech that got the audience cheering. Her theme was breaking the glass ceiling for women and the time is now for the White House. But again, the unifier will be abortion. Hillary could not resist the personal attacks on Trump calling him a felon and one who makes fun of Kamala’s laugh. A speech on Monday means that Hillary and the Clintons, like the Bidens, are in the past.

Lewandowski was part of 2016 campaign.not 2020. when DJT switched campaign leadership then, to Manafort, he felt that strategies were quite different for the primary and general election seasons, so they are, so different personhel required. by the same token strategy for running ag Biden and for running against Harris would likely be different.so logical he would bring on new advisors with Harris Torricelli switcheroo.
