Barbara Boxer's speech was off-topic...

This was a Party Convention. NOT a Hillary convention. If her speech had been about the DEMOCRATIC PARTY and NOT Hillary, it would have been fine. She did create the boooing and dissent, then blamed it on the Bernie supporters.

It is a no-brainer this was going to be an epic fail. She created the epic-fail.

Having a brain fart here but another woman spoke on behalf of Bernie. I didn't realize that until today. Either way she lost her cool and the situation got the better of her.

The key word here is professional. A professional has more savvy than to be triggered like this. So unfortunate.

My feeling is that Barb is a paid politician in a room full of unpaid volunteers. She's on the job. Sometimes things go wonky at work but we still keep it together.
