What Went Down On The First Night Of The Democratic National Convention

This was a very strong speech. Basically, “I hate politics, but here I am. I said we have to go high, but we have to be honest about Trump’s shortcomings. We need to vote like our candidate is exciting — even if he’s not.”

Totally, Galen.

FWIW, I think it might be easier to give this kind of forceful speech not in front of a huge crowd of your fans who are really happy to see you. I’m just trying to think of how this would work on a convention floor. It’s not the kind of “say a line and wait for applause” speech we are used to.
