But I'm headed that way.

On edit: Glad you were able to catch up!

I'm ready to eat fire right now for Clinton/Kaine and the idea of keeping Obama's legacy alive.

All of them in one night? Shiiiiiiit. believe the hype.

so I watched the speeches live, and now I can't sleep! Plus, I go back to work in less than two hours.

I have already taken it, but the Bernie news is keeping me up!

Bernie left the party tonight

liberal indy.

No one should be surprised by this, and no one should give him shit over it either.

hee was only a democrat to run for president.

run as an Indy, Socialist, or Green and risked splitting the vote. He didn't. Instead, he did what so many people agonized over with Nader and got involved in the party instead of working against it.

I get that he didn't pay his dues as an official Dem and work his way up. But he did pay his dues as an ally of the Dems, working with them against the Repubs time and time again. He brought fire to the primaries, new voters to the polls, and new Democrats to the party--including me. What he did has value. That he was a Dino doesn't matter. His insider-yet-outsider status, principles, and vision all served the party and the nation in the long run, and I believe that the party higher ups believe that. I don't think they are just massaging the holdouts or comforting those of us who made the switch. I think they genuinely think well of the Senator from Vermont and appreciate that he did everything he could to start a Revolution without torpedoing the entire party.

I just wish some other people could see that as well.

He wouldn't have debated Hillary on national TV.

An ally is still not a Dem. It does matter a lot. He did not have normal access to the party but had it because the party allowed it. And the party received no thanks and a lot of shit.

Agree! all these so called Bernie supporters giving me headache and I can't rest tonight!

To the Predidency of the United States. This will be an amazing campaign!

I agree Joe.

Thank goodness for the internet.

Thank goodness for c-span.

Thank goodness for all of us rising up together, sharing information.

LOL

WAY too exciting - So I watched some of them again!

Then I had a bat in my living room.

Twixt all those things . . . AWAKE!

I once had a terrified bat in MY living room and it took me HOURS to settle down after I was finally able to coax it out.

It was actually a fascinating creature to see when it took refuge in a ceiling corner to assess its situation. But I was very glad to see it gone.

But about the speeches ... YES!!!

a creaky old Victorian so I became accustomed to the occasional winged uh, guest. I actually grew to like the little guys a great deal, just not, you know, in my house.

Last nights little buddy was just a baby, and the one before just a little older. Tis' the season.

I use a fishing net with a good telescoping handle and then give them a nice escort back outside where they can go eat more mosquitoes. I appreciate all things that eat mosquitoes.

Having grown up on the north central MT plains, I have a healthy respect for THOSE hummers. The more bats the better, IMO! ?

And I could go on from here!

when I can catch up on some of the sleep I missed this week. I kept saying I wasn't going to stay up but I can't help myself. I've LOVED this convention.

Was buzzing for two hours after the Prez (lucky us to have had him in the big chair for eight years). I need to get back to regular hours.

1. I was exhausted after being up very late for three nights in a row;

2. I felt better about the election and that dangerous, traitorous, trump being defeated.
