Dems going for more than a win
by Dave Winer Thursday, July 28, 2016

This has been a great convention, and tonight we saw the full scope of what the Democrats hope to accomplish. They're not just looking to win with the voters Obama won with in 2008 and 2012, they are actively seeking support from Republicans and independents.

They have a strong argument, that I'm sure will change a lot of minds, after the crazy and largely (imho of course) un-American RNC. 

Republicans are decent people. They're Americans like we are. As Obama said there are differences between Democrats and Republicans, but what Trump offers is not what most Americans believe in. It's up to the Democrats to make that clear, to cut through the fog, and tonight they did that brilliantly. 

Obama will pour everything into Hillary's campaign, not because he's scared, he's not -- nor should he be -- he wants to fix the problem that plagued his administration, a Republican Congress that wouldn't come to the table and work with him. And with Trump, I think the Repubs would actually be relieved and very humbled and what's left of them in Congress after this debacle will probably want to work with President Hillary.

Don't wonder if Hillary can top it off in the closing speech of the convention. She can and will.
