Night One: The Virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention!

Opening night for the Democrats. A time to show and prove.
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

Showtime. Joe Biden's nights to shine. He will certainly need the momentum. Cause it's going to be an uphill climb despite the polls saying he's leading.

Ignore the polls. The polls don't mean shit. It's the electoral college. If Biden can't win 270 electoral votes, he will not become the president. His rival is going in with enthusiasm despite his failures.

Enthusiasm is going to be key for the Democrats to win. They certainly need it given that politics has become so fucking toxic. With the stakes so high, the Democrats must be united in this fight. If not, we're going to have another term (or longer) of Donald J. Trump.

Trump has signalled he will not leave peacefully nor leave after a second term. Don't take it as a joke.

The Democrats will gather for a virtual rally. It was supposed to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but due to the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats have scrapped a full-scale convention and it will be held virtual.
Can Bernie Sanders bring his flock to the fold?
Former vice president Joseph Robinette Biden who ran for president twice before will finally get an opportunity to show and prove to the world that he could lead this nation in troubling times. He will have his running mate, California senator Kamala Devi Harris nominated as the vice presidential nominee.

He will have a lot of guests attending. Some will be Republicans and of course, leftists are upset.

Who will get the most attention at DNC Night One?

Michelle Obama
Andrew Cuomo
Jim Clyburn
Bernie Sanders
Amy Klobuchar
Gretchen Whitmer
Other
Please Specify:

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC)
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS)
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI)
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL)
Leon Bridges, R&B singer, songwriter and producer
Billy Porter, LGBTQ activist, singer, actor and television personality
Stephen Stills, instrumentalist, singer and songwriter.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Michelle Obama, former First Lady, podcaster, activist and wife of Barack Obama.

Some of the leftists are complaining about former Ohio governor John Kasich speaking at the Democratic National Convention. If you ask me, being an Ohioan, I think it was a great idea.

Kasich who was governor of Ohio from 2011-2019 was controversial during his first term. But when Barack Obama won Ohio in the reelection, Kasich saw the writing on the wall and moderated.
Democrats are counting on independents and disgruntled Republicans like John Kasich.
When he came into office, he was disliked. Yeah, he turned down funds for high speed rail. He tried to dismantle public unions and sign off on legislation that made conception within less than two months. All of those issues were appealing to the Tea Party, a far-right grassroots movement that led us to Donald J. Trump.

Kasich who eventually became a moderate won reelection with 40% of the Black vote. Yes, a Republican in a swing state won reelection easily. You can't make this shit up. Kasich had deep respect for Obama and Biden. He felt that Trump has abandoned the principles of the Republican Party.

He said that it's reckless to allow Trump continue the country on this path. He would be a great investment to helping the Democrats win the state of Ohio.

It would be interesting if Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) did a last minute endorsement for Biden.

Romney who was the 2012 rival respected Obama and Biden. They at least had respect for one another unlike their mutual disdain for Trump.

The event is going to be streamed online.

Who will make the night?

Will it be Bernie Sanders, Andrew Cuomo, Michelle Obama, Doug Jones or Jim Clyburn?

We will see.

Watch the event live.
