With the exception of some kind of outburst from the California delegation, it seems like there’s a positive reception for the speeches tonight, including former CIA Director Leon Panetta. This is a pretty strong contrast with some of the debates between Sanders and Clinton, in which Sanders fiercely criticized Clinton’s Iraq War vote and foreign policy approach. Her actions and positions, including her praise for Henry Kissinger in that debate, have drawn ire from progressives. For her part, Clinton questioned her opponent’s credentials and readiness in foreign affairs. As I wrote this, delegates began to chant “no more war” — which could be directed at Trump as well as the Democratic nominee.
