I just got up, poured coffee, tried to watch some moments from the national nominating convention of one of the two major American political parties. My god. Leni Riefenstahl and a Netflix production budget couldn't make that work.

Finally, a sobering thought --

You know, the #RepublicanConvention in 2016 seemed totally insane at the time. (Remember Rudy's speech?)

And then Trump won. https://t.co/GelcIPwcCv

So, that's why we take nothing for granted this time.  And we vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.  Or, put another way,

Just stay focused, folks.
