Those watching the Democrat convention—complete with 1,000 VIRTUAL cheering crowds—are going to be black and blue from pinching themselves to check on reality while watching.
The completely virtual Convention will beat by far the histrionics put on display by the annual Academy Awards.
Some of the players in this Biggest Show On Earth are straight out of the Vaudeville acts of old.“Kasich pointed to Democratic presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s faith as a determining factor in his support. "Kasich said, “I would encourage other Republicans to know that it is okay to take off a partisan hat, take off your partisan hat and vote on the basis of what your conscience tells you about the future of our country, not just for yourself but for your kids as well.” “Anchor Erin Burnett asked, “So Southern Baptist Minister, he is ordained, Mike Huckabee said the other day in part, ‘I don’t know if anybody, people of faith who think Joe Biden is a great choice. I tell you they’re not going to go with Biden. That’s not an option.’ What do you say? “Kasich said, “Well, I’m clued in to a lot of people of faith, a number of them, who are very happy that I’m making this decision. I can give you names. I don’t want to say it on the air, but I can give you names of them if we have to come back and do that. And the fact is, you know, the faith is a matter of your personal relationship. And so I don’t know why that’s been said about Joe. I think he is a man of faith.”
“The effort to nominate Sanders – who already dropped out of the race – will be a mere formality, since Joe Biden has won enough delegates to clinch the party's nomination. (Fox News) “Ocasio-Cortez said in April – after Sanders suspended his campaign and endorsed Biden – that she would vote for the former vice president. She co-chaired (along with former Secretary of State John Kerry) the unity task force on climate change that was set up in May by Biden and Sanders.”

“The Democratic convention will be anchored in Milwaukee, Wis., but nearly all the speakers will be virtual. It will be held next Monday through Thursday, Aug. 17-20. The convention programming will be held in prime time, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET, and streamed online on a variety of different sites and broadcast on TV. “Party officials also announced that nearly 1,000 crowdsourced videos from the roughly 4,000 Democratic convention delegates and other Americans will be featured during the four nights of prime-time programming. And they spotlighted that "over the course of 30 minutes, the reimagined roll call process will take convention viewers to all 57 states and territories.” “The formal vote on the former vice president’s nomination as Democratic Party standard-bearer – and the vote on the party's platform – will be conducted virtually with delegates from across the country. "Biden will speak next Thursday evening, the final night of the convention, with his running mate giving her address the previous evening.”Biden’s running mate will be a “her” because there are no males in the VP contender lineup.
“Fox News has confirmed that former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama will have prominent speaking roles, as will populist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who was Biden’s last remaining rival in the primaries before suspending his campaign and endorsing the former vice president in April. (Fox News)
…”Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts – another former 2020 Democratic presidential contender – and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – will also reportedly speak next week. “Politico reports that former President Bill Clinton will also have a speaking slot in prime time during the convention.”There we go again with a second Fox News description of Sanders as a “populist" senator. Fox News re-imaging Sanders as a “populist” makes about as much sense as Chuck Schumer’s claim that Trump ‘Gets these little bugs in his head that have nothing to do with reality’. “Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reacted to President Donald Trump signing an executive order for economic relief amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. (Breitbart, Aug. 10, 2020)
“MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough asked Schumer about Trump surrounding himself with “yes” men and “wreaking havoc” on the U.S. Postal Service by pushing back against having vote-by-mail for the upcoming presidential election. “Schumer said Trump “gets these little bugs in his head that have nothing to do with reality” and no one in his administration tells him the truth.”Meanwhile, the only truth that will be seen for any watching the DNC will be how the desperado Dems have gone certifiably insane. For Democrats, society being holed up at home in the Coronavirus lockdown will never seem so lucky. Meanwhile, If you want to hang onto any sanity left over in the ongoing pandemic lockdown, tune out of the convention, including coverage by Fox News.
