Or hit a home run, if you prefer.
this speech makes Trump seem like such a vacant, meaningless man. which is to say it accurately portrays him. but largely as an absence.

Joe Biden who I’m told is supposedly sundowning gave the best damn speech of the whole convention

underlying message of the DNC (unless it’s been actually articulated and I missed it): Biden has had so much taken from him, and his humanity never faltered; Trump was given everything, and learned nothing

I had real reservations about the idea of a virtual convention but the Democrats really nailed this.
A few slight hiccups along the way (even live conventions have them) but these were some great innovations. The roll call, the keynote, the intimate feel of the speeches.

Biden is a compassionate statesman who cares deeply and quite obviously about people and policy. He understands the presidency is a privilege and serious work. He is in another orbit from the ludicrous, dangerous clown bouncing around the White House on his pogo stick.
