After reading glowing reviews that followed nights one and two of the Democratic National Convention last week, I made an effort to watch the third night as it aired. I was so impressed by the third night that the fourth (and final) night was must-see TV at my house. As someone who was extremely skeptical about the feasibility of a virtual political convention, I will happily admit that I underestimated the skill of people who use technology to produce hours of effective communication.
Next week, the (R) people will take their shot, and my guess is that what they dump out will basically amount to hour after hour of hero worship, and will be unwatchable for viewers with the capacity for intelligent thought. Until fairly recently, Cheezy was expecting a traditional convention with an arena full of morons screaming for him.
Late addition 11:28 PM: I just read that Cheezy will make speeches all four nights of the RNC, instead of the single traditional final night address. When there's a TV camera around, he has to be in front of it. Cheezy needs the extra time to explain to Americans that he's done everything perfectly, especially leading the nation against COVID-19. Just in case there are a few people who missed it, you understand.
