It was a good speech, however in my opinion it ranked far below the speeches given by a number of the other Democratic heavy hitters like the President and Michelle Obama, Cory Booker, Joe Biden, and a handful of others.
But that is fine, Hillary is more of a doer than a speaker and we already know that about her.
Not that everybody agrees with me on that:
Speaking of the Republicans from what I'm hearing they really wish that they could switch conventions with the Democrats.
In fact the convention was so good that it seemed to enrage Donald Trump:
"You know what I wanted to. I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard," Trump said. "I would have hit them. No, no. I was going to hit them, I was all set and then I got a call from a highly respected governor."
Trump didn't immediately clarify what he meant, but he said he was made particularly upset by an unspecified person he called a "little guy."
"I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," he said. "I was gonna hit this guy so hard his head would spin and he wouldn't know what the hell happened."
I think that "hit" is a euphemism for verbally attacking somebody.
After all if he hit somebody with those tiny little hands how would they even know?
Another person who did not seem to enjoy the final speech of the convention, was this guy:
That was the look on Sanders' face at the moment when Hillary was magnanimously thanking him for his contribution during the race for the nomination and for bringing so many young people into politics for the first time.
I don't know exactly what Bernie was thinking, but it did not seem that he was completely comfortable with how all of this turned out.
Well he might not have been, but for most of us this far exceeded what we could have hoped for, and it certainly left an impression on the conservatives.
And it did not appear that these two could have been any happier with the outcome.
Of course that pales in comparison to Hillary's reaction to the surprise pyrotechnics that went off at the end of the night.

Besides if you compare it to almost every speech from the RNC last week she hit it out of the park.Instant Poll on CNN among those that watched the Speech.— John (@linnyitssn) July 29, 2016

That's from Dick Cheney's former press secretary.How can it be that I am standing at my kitchen counter sobbing because of the messages being driven at the DNC? Where has the GOP gone?— Rich Galen (@richgalen) July 29, 2016
That is from a veteran of conservative operations.This Democratic convention has been an unmitigated disaster for the GOP. Very well produced. Unifying. Patriotic. Bravo.#DNCinPHL— Matt Mackowiak (@MattMackowiak) July 29, 2016
Conservative blogger.Still stunned. Feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Obama just defended America & conservative values from attacks by the Republican nominee.— (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) July 28, 2016

Now I am just waiting for the new polls to come out showing that Hillary is crushing Trump. Because we certainly know they are on the way.OMG, Hillary's reaction to surprise pyrotechnics is incredible. #DemsInPhilly https://t.co/z6KNBaj1W9— Josh Zembik (@jzembik) July 29, 2016
