Tonight’s speech roundup:
- Michael Bloomberg: Trump is a con man.
- Tim Kaine: Trump is a liar.
- Joe Biden: Trump is a sociopath.
- Barack Obama: Trump is an asshole.1
Decisions, decisions. Who’s right?
Whatever else you think of it, the Democratic convention sure has had a strong lineup of speakers. Even Bloomberg, who’s a little stiff on the podium, was pretty good tonight. Biden and Kaine were both sociable and folksy, and Obama, as usual, was inspirational. We’ll see how the public responds to all this, but it’s hard to see how the Democrats could have done much better in the prime time hour than they have over the past three days.
