Michelle Obama's speech was awesome. Her sincerity and authenticity; her athletic, low-maintenance beauty was such a contrast to Melania Trump last week.

I kind of admire Melania, though. Her feeble attempt to make Michelle's words sound better, enhanced by pounds of makeup and a $2,000 dress, sure failed.

Elizabeth Warren, as usual, knows her stuff and speaks from the heart.

Now I am watching the mensch in chief, Bernie Sanders. While Trump is practicing "The Art of the Deal" with Vladimir Putin, watching the wikileaks unfolding, Sanders is sticking to his principles and working for his principles.

Bernie's principles won't be furthered by Donald Trump--or Gary Johnson.

But who can help but love Bernie Sanders--the sexiest septugenarian alive.

I bet you are a sight for sore eyes.

Yep, another good foot soldier, falling in lockstep.

I have been watching Sanders and I can see that he feels very uncomfortable. He said the DNC was rigged and playing dirty as he experienced it first hand. Which makes me wonder why he agreed to endorse Clinton in the first place.
Threats?

You misunderstand me. Melania Trump is a beautiful woman (much younger than me--I'm almost as old as her husband, and the first of his three wives).

She doesn't need all the makeup she uses, and I don't think it reflects well on a potential first lady.

Michelle Obama projects warmth and authenticity. What a joy she was on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke.

Being a generation older than Melania Trump (close to the age of her husband and the first of his three wives) I certainly would not compare myself to Melania in the looks department. I just aim for more smile lines than frown lines at this point.

That being said, your post was offensive and insensitive. You must have had a bad day.

I'm not too tolerant of people who say something for one person but then are quiet on others...or insinuating something which isn't true.

And it's only day one!

Should be an interesting week.

Incidentally, is anyone here as disgusted by these politicized prayers (both the RNC and the DNC) as I am? Kudos for Ivanka's Rabbi for backing out on saying a prayer like that. Asking for guidance is one thing, but this God-is-on-our-side nonsense is close to blasphemous IMV.

“Unfortunately, when my name appeared on a list of speakers at the convention, without the context of the invocation I had been invited to present, the whole matter turned from rabbinic to political, something which was never intended,” he wrote in a letter posted Friday on the school’s Facebook page.

Tim Tebow declined as well.

No. Just your typical politician that is more establishment than he'd like to admit. But the proof is in the pudding.

Or maybe splitting the vote and handing Trump the keys to the White House isn't something Sanders is willing to do to his country?

Typical enough to recognize that politics in a democracy requires compromise, something his young followers don't yet seem to grasp.
