If you’re a lover of good speeches filled with vision of what our country is and should aspire to be it was a great night to lay in front of the flat screen with the diva lab and watch every single speech of the evening.
Unlike the GOP convention, angry white people weren’t chanting ‘Lock Her Up’. Instead, it was a night of people not related to Hillary Clinton giving their unique take on why America is still the greatest country on the earth and what can be done to make it better for our children and grandchildren.
Sarah Silverman was sublime getting it started. I might even put her speech on here tomorrow. I’ve always liked her and she looks great so that part was easy.
Corey Booker was next and was excellent. Tough, smart, and a natural ability to speak. No wonder he was a vice-presidential finalist.
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders closed out night one in what was clearly an olive leaf to the progressive branch of the Democratic Party. Both were good, but just before them came the best speech of the night coming from Michelle Obama.
It connected with me in multiple ways. As an American, as a parent, and as a grown up. It touched me.
Anyway, here it is. Melania would be well served to watch it, just not use it in her next speech though.
