Haven’t read anyone else’s comments on Kamala speech. Here are mine:
High point: “out of their minds”
Other effective themes: Caring for one another, non-Dem outreach, Project 2025 attacks (however disingenuous); not a series of ethnic or interest group panders–represents broad… https://t.co/j6MowJcNjZ

Ruben Gallego now boasting that he got into Harvard. Apparently the attacks on JD Vance are just an anti-Yale thing.

Nothing wrong with seething resentment of our credentialized meritocracy. The man who invented the word to describe it–Michael Young–didn’t much like it either. But don’t blame Vance (for getting in to Yale). https://t.co/EUzsL4n6Rc

I was so happy to see Bill Clinton and his old mannerisms … but the critics are right saying the speech was a little slow. Especially the first half. And I can’t believe they made him say “President of Joy.” https://t.co/EDwGe2FzsD

Clinton also said Harris/Walz would “bring in this breath of fresh air” to government. … As opposed to the stale old Biden air of the last 3.5 years? (Alternatively, it’s stale Trump air, because the Biden presidency has simply been erased like a bad dream.) https://t.co/yHpjGMCLma

Nothing like, say, what Jim Bouton said was the best pep talk he’d ever heard (not printable here).

I admit I don’t like the guy. Strikes me as nasty, not nice. But the only real bit of nastiness in this speech was the ridiculous Yale thing.

I admit, Walz’s speech wasn’t as bad as I’d hoped. But the idea that it was some great triumph seems absurd. Nothing striking or original. Do swing voters want a pep talk directed at Dem volunteers? It was an OK football pep talk, though going “one inch at a time” isn’t going to… https://t.co/l1hHbbRrl4

Good lord–never trust @NoahCRothman on immigration. The bill was a Mayorkas dream bill. It didn’t end “catch and release.” It created a whole new catch & release program (unless you think being released with a cell phone or an ankle bracelet isn’t being released.)… https://t.co/YdtEaIzdwY https://t.co/WyjtNjD0Tn
