What Went Down On Day Three Of The Democratic Convention

They shut the stadium lights off on the part of the mezzanine level where the Washington delegation is seated. Then California started chanting. Panetta seemed pissed.

In some ways these anti-war demonstrations are harder to shut down, because you can’t just have the Clinton delegates outshout the Bernie delegates. Now a few chants of U-S-A as an attempted antidote.

Hearing Panetta condemn Trump for saying that he wished Russia had hacked Clinton’s email makes me feel sorry for the speechwriters and video makers of this convention. Trump continues to provide new material for them to incorporate into their messages — part of a strategy that was successful for him during the primaries of dominating news coverage. Whether it’s working for him in the general election remains to be seen.
