Election 2020

[Bob Butler 54]

I watched much of the convention last night.  It was interesting, though it did not go over much ground we haven't covered here.  I likely will watch less on the other three nights.

MSNBC had three female anchors commenting on the proceedings, but convention bits were canned and fast paced enough that the network didn't seem willing to break away often.  It seems they tried to make up for the lack of delegates using fast pace.  It felt more like a long political ad than a convention.  The minority group least represented between the Democrats and NBC was white males.  Of the two best known, both were chasing target audiences.  One was Republican and the other Bernie Sanders.

One line of the night was from a woman whose father was lost to the virus.  "His only preexisting condition was trusting Donald Trump."

Most or the other interesting lines came from Michelle Obama.  For stating opinions I have heard many a time here, she managed to say them well and intensely.  Worth a look.  MSNBC commented that the Republicans didn't have anyone to match her stature, and I tend to agree.
