With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night.
In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities.
I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president.
Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite being booted from the ticket.

Biden himself did not get to talk till after 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast, though, way past his bedtime, and when most viewers have gone to sleep.
It had its purpose, though: In this way, Harris would be able to separate herself from unpopular Biden policies, which late into the night, in a long extended speech, Biden rattled off ad nauseam.
The short six-minute speech by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier, though, demonstrated her charisma and she delivered a talk that brought the audience to its feet. Sadly, it was full of falsehoods and platitudes and missed realities. Her speech was short on detail but it indicated that for Democrats, the unifying issue will be abortion.
Hillary Clinton, also spoke, and though not as rousing as AOC, delivered a speech that got the audience cheering. Her theme was breaking the glass ceiling for women and the time is now for the White House. But again, the unifier will be abortion. Hillary could not resist the personal attacks on Trump calling him a felon and one who makes fun of Kamala’s laugh. A speech on Monday means that Hillary and the Clintons, like the Bidens, are in the past.
The word “freedom” was used often, but it meant abortion rights in this hall.
During the first two days, a van from Planned Parenthood was parked curbside to provide free abortions and vasectomies. Reproductive cessation is the aim with these Democrats, though they euphemistically refer to as “reproductive health.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) stirred the audience as she attacked Donald Trump as a felon and self-centered person. She claimed that only Harris was qualified to be in the White House.
As the evening advanced, the crowds grew and the enthusiasm mounted. But, during the night, the policies of Joe Biden were not mentioned by the speakers. It seemed as though that was a conscious effort of distancing Biden from Harris.
Someone should tell Joe.
Fact is, the Biden and Harris policies are inextricable. Trump must make the case that Kamala cast the deciding vote on legislation such as the “Inflation Reduction Act” which added $2 trillion in inflationary pressures to the economy as well as voted for other legislation (such as the infrastructure bills) that kept the spending going. The legacy press/media will not present these facts.
Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) who did not wear a tie, immediately pursued the abortion issue. He pointed out that the “Project 2025” is all about limiting women’s rights. He claims that women must have (the oxymoron) “reproductive freedom” while aborting that reproduction. He claimed that the Democrats are against anger and want respect for all to unify the public. Once again, he demonstrated that this issue of abortion is the real theme for the first night.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) spent his time discussing the Jan. 6 riots, blaming Trump as an insurrectionist. As a minister, he decided to consider the character of Trump as a “plague on the American conscience.” He asked Trump to read the Bible, but he cast many stones that evening. He went back to abortion, too, thoughm, asking viewers to move forward for “reproductive rights.” In the end, he asked for “God’s children” throughout the world to work together.
