Curmudgeon’s Corner: The Big DNC Show

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan of course spend most of the show on the Democratic National Convention, with commentary on all the major speeches, and the inevitable comparisons to the RNC the week before. In addition to the DNC itself, they do cover this week’s terrorist attacks in Europe, the DNC email hack, where polling stands today, and Trump’s invitation to Russian hackers. Oh, and for some reason pineapples make an appearance.

@abulsme tweets from 2016-07-29 (UTC)

00:22:47 Retweeted @owillis 00:10:26 you know i'd ponder the idea that trump has plumbers hacking into the democrats, but he's too incompetent to get it done
00:26:50 Retweeted @SusanPage 2016-07-28 23:27:37 The fact that dozens of Sanders supporters have shown up in matching day-glo yellow T-shirts just may indicate they plan to protest tonight.
00:56:45 Retweeted @Jim_Brunner 00:54:43 Definitely some tension in area around WA delegates. Armed security was eyeballing them earlier. #DNCinPHL
01:00:10 Retweeted @ThePlumLineGS 00:51:48 It seems like a good idea for Ds to welcome Rs and conservatives who are willing to step up and admit the GOP nominee is a madman.
02:05:12 I’ve been doing other things, but here now for Chelsea! #DNCinPHL
02:08:56 Chelsea a bit of a nervous speaker. Didn’t expect that. Thought she had been practicing a bunch on the trail. #DNCinPHL
02:12:59 This speech is good enough I guess, but nothing particularly memorable about it. Bring on Hillary. #DNCinPHL
02:14:22 Chelsea speaks more like her mom than her dad. #DNCinPHL
02:15:12 The call out to Hillary’s mom being proud was good. #DNCinPHL
02:15:19 Video time. #DNCinPHL
02:15:49 Retweeted @nycjim 02:15:40 Chelsea: "My mother will make us proud as president of the United States.вЂќ https://t.co/nbawUegARv
02:17:33 Wait, this video is going to be 12 minutes? #DNCinPHL
02:19:47 Retweeted @xeni 02:19:34 This is wild. They're introducing the mythos narrative of our First Heroine. A woman POTUS. As a woman watching this — my soul is exploding
02:20:06 Retweeted @annehelen 02:19:19 Q: Who should we get to narrate this crucial tone-setting Hillary intro
A: Maybe God, God would be good
02:22:14 Retweeted @darrensands 02:21:04 Here's the Hillary Clinton biography the nation is watching. It's a video directed by @shondarhimes. https://t.co/hR7idqv2ZA
02:24:29 Retweeted @THELuisAMendez 02:24:24 This video is well done, perfect stagecraft
02:27:29 Hillary! Here we goвЂ¦ #DNCinPHL

02:31:54 This crowd is pumped. #DNCinPHL
02:33:11 Retweeted @kenrudin 02:33:04 I love seeing the tears on people's faces. This is a historic moment. Let's appreciate this moment. We'll talk politics at another time.
02:33:52 List of the previous speeches. Yeah, yeah. Get on with it. #DNCinPHL
02:34:27 Retweeted @cam_joseph 02:31:33 A few loud folks in the cheap seats yelling her down. Crowd now chanting вЂњHillary, HillaryвЂќ in response. #DemsInPhilly
02:35:01 Thanks to Bernie. Bernie still not super pleased. :-) #DNCinPHL
02:35:39 Retweeted @aseitzwald 02:35:27 Clinton: And to all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I've heard you. Your cause is our cause."
02:36:55 Retweeted @daveweigel 02:36:45 See those fluorescent shirts in the wide shots? They're worn by Bernie supporters — who are not walking out.
02:38:17 She looks completely in control as she says вЂњStronger TogetherвЂќ. Nailing the Presidential look. #DNCinPHL
02:38:56 She is doing better than in most of her speeches I have seen. Doing exactly what she needs to do here. #DNCinPHL
02:39:51 FDR quote in perfect context. #DNCinPHL
02:40:26 Retweeted @politicoroger 02:40:11 Hillary: Trump has "taken the Republican Party a long way…
from "Morning in America" to "Midnight in America."
02:40:52 Retweeted @cbrodrick 02:38:49 Listen kids, in 1992, it was OK to attack a Yale-educated lawyer for not baking cookies.
It has been a long fucking 24 years. #HistoryMade
02:41:52 Retweeted @AlGiordano 02:41:40 Hey, @realDonaldTrump. Can I be there tomorrow when you see tonights ratings?
02:42:38 Lots of delegates brought their kidsвЂ¦ especially daughtersвЂ¦ to see this historic moment. #DNCinPHL
02:43:51 She is not a great speaker like some of the others this week, but she is doing a quite good job anyway. What it needs to do. #DNCinPHL
02:45:07 Retweeted @rebeccasheir 02:10:14 https://t.co/ibnFwJcRWH

#DemsInPhilly
02:47:07 вЂњLove Trumps HateвЂќ, another of the lines getting a lot of use this week. #DNCinPHL
02:47:26 She accepts the nomination! Surprise! #DNCinPHL
02:47:40 Retweeted @ClaraJeffery 02:46:48 She's never going to be as soaring an orator as BHO or as intimate as BC, but she's killing it, imo
02:49:12 Retweeted @MikeSacksEsq 02:48:06 Trump's I ALONE line was screaming scary when I first read it in advance release, and now it's just a sad man's own goal for the other side
02:49:18 Retweeted @lawhawk 02:49:04 If you can't recognize the historic moment, you don't get it. And likely never will. @HillaryClinton in reply to lawhawk
02:50:07 Retweeted @anamariecox 02:49:58 Hillary has always needed an enemy in order to show her strengths. Trump would have to be created in a lab to be a better enemy for her.
02:50:14 Retweeted @BraddJaffy 02:49:55 Clinton just skipped the line in her prepared remarks, "I ran for President and lost."
02:50:34 Retweeted @AriMelber 02:50:23 Trump & Clinton both unusually #unpopular nominees – she takes approach of directly addressing it in her speech, a different tack than him.
02:50:50 Retweeted @ananavarro 02:50:42 I'm happy I will be able to tell the generations that come behind us, I was there July 28th, 10:47pm when 1st woman made history.
02:52:39 Retweeted @nxthompson 02:48:51 Dem convention: Love trumps hate.

02:52:53 Retweeted @HillaryClinton 02:52:43 "Simply caring is not enough. To drive real progress, you have to change both hearts and laws." вЂ”Hillary
02:53:49 This is the best speech I’ve ever seen Clinton give. #DNCinPHL
02:54:33 Retweeted @rebliv 02:54:19 Is this the first time Flint water has been mentioned at either convention? I'm kinda shocked it's not mentioned more.
02:54:47 .@rebliv I heard a few scattered mentions over the last few days. in reply to rebliv
02:55:35 Retweeted @JessicaTaylor 02:54:10 Clinton: "It's true, I sweat the details of policy…it's not just a detail if it's your kid, your family." #DemsInPhilly
02:55:41 Retweeted @Ihnatko 02:55:33 Here we see the GOP's problem. Clinton knows how to appear Presidential. Last week, Trump still looked like a sketchy real-estate developer.
02:56:33 Retweeted @aseitzwald 02:56:24 Clinton: "I will be a President for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents."
02:57:03 Retweeted @rabiasquared 02:55:57 What I wouldn't do for a live stream of Trump's face right now. Wishing he rocked a white pant suit & knew big smart words.
#DemsInPhilly

02:57:31 Retweeted @LeonardPittsJr1 02:56:04 She's making policy workery a strength, not a weakness. Good bit of rhetorical judo.
02:58:02 Retweeted @Brand_Allen 02:55:24 Everyone, including Hillary, needs to stop trying to re-define her. She needs to sell who she is. Uncharismatic & rigid. But smart as hell.
02:58:51 Retweeted @CarlZimring 02:58:41 She's embracing her historical significance here. Good. Playing it down in 2008 was a mistake. #DemsInPhilly
02:59:20 Retweeted @mviser 02:59:11 вЂњWhen there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit.вЂќ вЂ” Hillary Clinton

02:59:56 Retweeted @geoffreyvs 02:59:46 2008: "18 million cracks"
2016: "When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit."

03:00:48 Retweeted @ananavarro 03:00:42 Hillary's not an orator at level of Bill Clinton, Obama, Biden or Michelle Obama. But she is holding her own and delivering tonight.
03:01:11 Retweeted @hunterschwarz 03:01:03 Clinton: "Democrats, we are the party of working people, but we haven’t done a good enough jobвЂќ showing that to you
03:02:03 Retweeted @KSoltisAnderson 03:01:52 I doubt I'll remember any line from this speech but I will long remember how I felt seeing her hug Chelsea when she came out on stage.
03:02:38 Disagree with her on Citizens United. Should be no restrictions on political speech. At all. #DNCinPHL
03:03:23 вЂњI believe in science!вЂќ Yes please. More of this please. #DNCinPHL
03:05:00 She is revving up here. Must be getting close to the end. #DNCinPHL

03:06:47 Retweeted @ericgeller 03:06:33 "He spoke for 70-odd minutesвЂ”and I do mean odd." Snap! #DNCinPHL
03:06:58 Retweeted @BresPolitico 03:05:06 Clinton doing all she needs to do in this space, hitting all the Dem/indy talking points strongly, looks determined & presidential
03:07:14 Retweeted @ezraklein 03:07:06 Full text of Clinton's speech: "A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons." https://t.co/jmKnE3d1cS

03:09:21 вЂњDeal me in!вЂќ Another stump speech line. #DNCinPHL
03:09:52 Retweeted @ShaunKing 03:09:35 Hillary's strength is not inspiration or storytelling. Her strength are policies and fighting. She finds her stride in those things now.
03:11:41 Retweeted @ZekeJMiller 03:11:35 Clinton: вЂњRemember what the president said last night, вЂdon’t boo, vote"
03:12:09 Retweeted @Carma_2012 03:11:55 Hillary is doing to Trump what every previous Republican candidate should have done MONTHS ago.

03:14:32 Retweeted @LizMair 03:14:18 FWIW, I actually don't think Hillary should smile more. Except if it's when she's obviously knifing someone. Then she totally should.
03:15:46 The rev up for a bit was just to keep us going in the middle I guess. :-) #DNCinPHL
03:16:37 Retweeted @RameshPonnuru 03:15:43 I think what we are hearing now is the most specificity on Isis at either convention.
03:16:43 Retweeted @PatrickSvitek 03:16:27 .@HillaryClinton: Trump says he knows more about ISIS than the generals do. "No, Donald, you don't." #DemsInPhilly

03:18:33 Retweeted @ezraklein 03:18:11 Give how much provocation Clinton has endured calmly, you get the feeling she has real contempt for Trump's thin skin
03:19:16 Save my вЂњYou pitiful little manвЂќ line for the first debate. :-) #DNCinPHL
03:19:43 Retweeted @CarlZimring 03:19:36 This speech carefully builds on the last four days of speakers. They worked hard on messaging. #DemsInPhilly
03:19:55 Retweeted @DavidOAtkins 03:19:46 Hillary Clinton is far, far more effective when she's angry than when she's fake smiling. She should scowl the whole time. Much better.
03:20:18 Retweeted @PamEngel12 03:19:37 Clinton: вЂњI’m not here to take away your guns. I just don’t want you to be shot by someone who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place.вЂќ
03:20:34 Retweeted @JanieVelencia 03:19:32 Trump's Twitter is silent right now.
03:21:15 Retweeted @hemantmehta 03:19:54 That "bait with a tweet" line fits nicely in a tweet, which means more people will retweet it, which means Trump will get baited. Brilliant. in reply to hemantmehta
