A week ago, we were watching the RNC roll call where the committee contrived to shove extra votes into Trump’s heap by manipulating previously unused rules. State after state was shocked to find that the votes they reported bore no relationship to what was announced from the podium. That process ended in protest and confusion.
What a perfect contrast to tonight where every delegate had a chance to have their vote reported and recorded, and then Bernie topped it off with a wonderful gesture of unity.
Democrats have the first woman nominee ever of a major political party. And the ceremony that brought that result was a celebration of both the diversity of Democratic voters and the unity of Democratic purpose. What a great moment.
