Disagree somewhat- as older D American and 16 year veteran of the Illinois legislature from 50-50 district. Bill Clinton was not as good as he has been but still great speaker. Best or most necessary and effective speakers were the Republican Lt.Governor of Georgia and Republican Adam Kinzinger. These 2 reach GOP and Independent voters- I saw the effect they had on my white male haircutter Thursday morning- he is a strict independent but talked good about the ticket. Texas and Florida may come into play- close by Harris wins 2 Senate seats; N.C. moving toward D victory for Harris (close) and swamp by statewide.
The Quad Cities moved substantially to the right between 2012 and 2016. Do you think they'll continue to trend Republican, or have Democrats stabilized there?
Think the best speech from a simultaneous "rev up the base and appeal to swingy voter" was Walz. I thought the two Republicans you mentioned were also good for the indies watching, as was Bill. Yes, he's not the absolute oratical force he was just 10 years ago, but he still knows how to speak to middle America and paint things in a larger context that flows and is easy to understand.
The Obamas were great at speaking to the base, as was Hilary and Whitmer.
Twitter loved AOC's Monday performance but honestly I didn't love her speech. Her upper register can get a little screechy, the rhetoric too pseudo-socialist warrior, and delivery too scripted and rehearsed for my tastes.

Awesome to have you here, Mike! I love the fact that elected officials are part of this community.
Wow!
