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.

Ironic to hear the woman who once commented how she was proud of her country for the first time when her queer/Muslim/America-hating/community organizer was elected President, telling us to not let anyone tell you that America ain’t great....

Two girls who have a whitey in the woodpile.

Jellobrand said something in her earlier speech (which was mostly full of nothing). She said that Hillary is a working mom (present tense) and then named her two wonderful grandchildren. I assume she meant that Hillary is a working grandmother.

There would be problems as he has five white children.

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

She spoke generically about her daughters instead of individually about Malia and Sasha.

One, let me say:THEY WERE ALL LOSERS!

Two:

She used her personal story of raising two young African American girls ...

What the hell - why didn't she raise two Caucasian girls? Or one Latina and one Asian? The Dems - All Race, All the Time!

Insightful comment from MSN user, Garry S.

“What a collection of Communist misfits! Warren went on a litany of what’s wrong with America, and how Hillary is going to fix it, when it’s their own Socialist policies that have caused the problems in the first place. Then she has the nerve to say Republicans stopped everything Democrats wanted to do, when we all know they had both the house and the senate, and when they didn’t, they had the cowardly Boehner and now Ryan who gave them everything they wanted. These people lie straight faced to the nation on national television. It’s scarry folks!”

Democrats and other assorted perverts should remember what happened to the Spanish communists after Franco won the civil war.

American patriots can only be pushed so far!

I’m old enough to remember the Amos n’ Andy radio shows from the 40’s. Sapphire’s voice was projected to grate on one’s ears....much like the African Obama is supposedly ‘welded’ to.

I saw multiple reports and video of Bernie signs being taken from people, as if removing the signs removes the protest. Was great to hear the chants come over almost every speaker. Too bad Bernie pooped out, he could have accomplished so much more. I wonder if he was more a political statement than a ‘want to be president’ person anyway.

They have to find one positive note out of yesterday’s disaster.

Bernie typifies the Damnocrat Party. He is a communist who spent his honeymoon in Stalin’s Moscow! His and Hillary’s types are out to destroy by burning up all the wealth so that 99% of the population lives in abject poverty while the 1% live like royalty.

This Party is subversive and so anti-America as to be dangerous to our health.

Michelle Obama, etc...puff piece by those who have been telling us she's the 'black Jackie Kennedy.'

Angry black women cannot be elected on a national ticket.

Every single one of these people will be put to death for treason in the next two years, so they all seem like losers to me. They’ll be even bigger losers once they’re roasting in the Lake of Fire.

And what is the “take on the losers”? Sorry, I refuse to give WaPo hits, so could you please summarize?

I’m terribly busy today, Redd, but one of the losers was Pocahontas.
