.CNNOpinion contributors share their thoughts and analysis of the first night of the DemConvention.
Most effective speeches on Day 1 of #DemConvention :— Alice Stewart August 18, 2020 All in all, I give Night One a C+. Awful first half. Very strong second half.
— Abdul El-Sayed August 18, 2020 I rarely want a political speech to go longer, but I could have listened to Michelle Obama for the rest of the night — Paul Begala August 18, 2020 "If you think things cannot possibly get worse trust me they can and they will." Don't vote like your life depends on it. Vote because people's lives DO depend on it. And Michelle is driving that home.
— David Axelrod August 18, 2020 My god. Michelle makes everyone else look like amateurs. No one can deliver a speech like she can. Even in these conditions, she leaves you hanging on every syllable. Few can do that. #DemConvention — Frida Ghitis August 18, 2020 "This is not normal," another rallying cry from @BernieSanders, along with Nero fiddled, Trump golfs.speech by @BernieSanders urging party and national unity. Struck all the right chords.— Ian Sams August 18, 2020 This Bernie speech is actually perfect. Just the right tone. Legitimately outraged. Substantive and important. Truly excellent and definitely the best from a politician all night.
— Joe Lockhart August 18, 2020 ummm, the Amtrak video made me cry. In these times, @JoeBiden 's decency is overwhelming. #DemConvention — Amanda Carpenter August 18, 2020 Wow! I almost forgot how many Democrats ran for president last year. #DemConvention — Charlie Dent August 18, 2020 I am not a fan of Republican Governor John Kasich, and his speech tonight did nothing for me, but I do think it is important for Republicans watching the #DemConvention to see so many other Republicans criticizing Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/qlIkOKcNnx
— S.E. Cupp August 18, 2020 I don't get the feeling today's Dems embrace Kasich the way Republicans embraced Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman back in the day — S.E. Cupp August 18, 2020 Old enough to remember when it was really unpopular to bail out the auto industry but @BarackObama and @JoeBiden did it anyway
— Maria Cardona August 18, 2020 Democrats should say—"if I'm allowed to vote" to offer a reminder of what's going on right now. — S.E. Cupp August 18, 2020 Good riff from Cuomo: "Covid is also a metaphor: a virus attacks when the body is weak." Goes on to say America's body is weak -- our divisions have made it harder to overcome our challenges.#DemConvention
— Nicole Hemmer August 18, 2020 The very fact that we have the conventions in virtual fashion seems like one of the strongest arguments against the administration's policy record. — Joe Lockhart August 18, 2020 Ok fine Maggie Rogers and Leon Bridges, I take the Boomer accusation back. But they are clearly a powerful minority who were appeased by Bruce, whose songs will be playing at the DNC until at least 2100.
And if we're serious about winning, that's exactly how it should be.@MurielBowser with a strong reminder of what's at stake. — Ian Sams August 18, 2020 Bruce was good, but I'm *really* looking forward to the Ted Nugent musical interlude at the RNC next week — Charlie Dent August 18, 2020 I love these conversations with REAL people and what they are facing in these challenging times!! #DemocraticConvention #DNC2020 #JoeBidenKamalaHarris2020
— Patti Solis Doyle August 18, 2020 I think the main goal of the DNC speakers tonight and all nights shouldn't be to out-left each other, but to simply hammer hard why Donald Trump must go.— S.E. Cupp August 18, 2020 Running against President Trump is running for something. With this particular president, the two go hand-in-hand.
— David Axelrod August 18, 2020 Four Republicans will speak at the Democratic convention tonight @cnn They'll remind the country, particularly Republicans, Trump hijacked the party and the party no longer represents them. It's permission to vote for Joe Biden. — Joe Lockhart August 18, 2020 I've been going to political conventions for decades. I am nostalgic for an in-person Convention. The pomp and circumstance, the excitement, catching-up with friends...and foes. But got to admit. This set-up doesn't suck. pic.twitter.com/t63ZxZEvZx
