And, great speeches by Joe Biden. and former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta (although protesters, unfortunately--evidently Sanders supporters from the Washington state delegation, who were then joined by others--disrupted Panetta's speech, loudly. They chanted "No more wars," and "Lies"). A terrific speech--an effective attack on Trump--by Independent Michael Bloomberg, New York's former Mayor. And, very fine speeches by Tim Kaine, and retired Rear Admiral John Hutson.
(Hutson delivered a powerful response to Trump's infamous attack on
John McCain, and McCain's time as a POW. Said Hutson: "I served in the
same Navy as John McCain. I used to vote in the same party as John
McCain. Donald, you’re not fit to polish John McCain’s boots.")
There was also a wonderful introduction to President Obama's speech, by Sharon Belkofer, a Gold Star mother from Ohio. Her son, Lt. Col. Thomas Belkofer, 44, was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, when the NATO convoy he was a part of was attacked in a suicide bombing.
