[AkFemDem]

1. No Hulk Hogan? Kid Rock?

We’ll never get the 51-55 white male with mullet vote now 😥

[Attilatheblond]

16. No has-been singers or wrestlers

No indicted, convicted felons either?

Our team is rock solid, filled with actual public servants who truly care about our nation.

[brush]

2. Quite a few union reps. That's good to see.

[realtruthflavor]

3. Makes sense for Biden's night nt

[RussBLib]

4. Thank you!

Been looking for that. Good lineup tonight.

[realtruthflavor]

8. We likely won't be getting the full list until about 2 pm Eastern each day nt

[LeftInTX]

5. Looking forward to Jasmine and AOC

[byronius]

20. Me too.

PS — I was born in Bryan, but left a year later.

Came back to live in Austin for a bit — but now I’m home in California. Both my liberal aunts live in Houston, though. They’re so cool.

[jalan48]

6. Thanks! It looks like Biden will be on around 9:00 CT.

[Lulu KC]

21. If I'd known this

I would have taken a disco nap. I'll need to have toothpicks to keep my eyes open. Counting on lots of energizing speakers before him!

[jalan48]

34. I know what you mean. I may fall asleep before they get to Joe.

[Lulu KC]

36. There's always YouTube in the morning

How I watch the late night shows.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. The lineup for all 4 days are going to KNOCK it out of the park.

talk about viewership ratings for each day. With the low numbers watched for the RNC, there will be numbers to compare with.

[Bmoboy]

9. I understand drama, but ...

Is it smart to have Joe go on at 10 pm ET?

I am over 70 and tend to fade in the late evening.

Wasn't that one of the excuses for the debate?

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. They are not programming for you

But to younger voters

[Bmoboy]

12. My concern is about Joe, not me

Setting him up for another "sundowning" demonstration is not how to honor him.

[AZ8theist]

13. He'll be fine....

...he's not going to drool on for 2 hours like the treasonous lying pig.

[Cheezoholic]

14. For Pete's sake, he's not headed to a nursing home. He's still President of the United States

The man is on 24/7, it's the job and it's his for another 5 months. If you're worried about him getting dinner by 5 and in bed by 8 you're worried about the wrong man and you must think he should resign. He's going to be going through more time zones in the next 60 days just helping the VP plus I am sure he's got at least one more overseas trip planned. He'll let you know when the damn sun goes down. I hate this shit dammit.

[Bmoboy]

15. And i hate getting old

[Attilatheblond]

18. Guessing his wake/sleep schedule has been slowly adjusted to allow for the later speaking time

One of the things (most) administrations do is logistics. Scheduling would be part of that.

[newdayneeded]

31. I agree with you,

if has a senior moment all of a sudden all of the news coverage this week will be about him being able to continue as president.

Hopefully it's a smooth speech from Joe! For Kamala and Joe's sake.

[SocialDemocrat61]

37. He did great

So no need for concern.

[obamanut2012]

24. 7 pm for some of us

That's why it is later.

This isn't a Presidential debate.

[msongs]

10. would be nice to have a time stamp nt

[ALBliberal]

17. Central time? Anyone know? Thanks

[Lulu KC]

23. yes, central n/t

[Tarzanrock]

19. Damn impressive "line-up!"

Damn impressive "line-up!" Labor and Unions are certainly getting some top spots tonight -- AFSCME, SEIU, LiUNA, IBEW, CWA, and Shawn Fain, President of the United Automobile Workers, gets his own speaking spot. Looks like they are going to address the Fascist Project 2025 every night of the Convention starting with the "Introduction" to Project 2025 tonight. Good move, Democrats -- cram that Fascist blueprint down the Turd's and the Republican Nazi Party's collective throats. Force those Nazi fucks to have to deny their evil Fascist plans every single day between now and the election!

[Backseat Driver]

22. Looking forward...

[Figarosmom]

25. Good line up

Looking forward to all of them especially Raphael Warnoch

[ms liberty]

26. When's JT performing? My husband will want to know that

Meaning James Taylor, of course!

[ancianita]

27. WAIT. 34 SPEAKERS IN FIVE HOURS?

That's counting "joint speakers."

Even so, If they leave President Biden 15-20 minutes to speak at the end, that's only 8 minutes each, given a video or two; or more realistically, 5 minutes, unless speakers are announced over the PA system. Still, even if convention hosts speak only at the beginning and end, that's an unbelievably packed schedule.

[wnylib]

28. I was thinking the same thing. Helluva lot of speakers in 5 hours.

[ancianita]

29. Helluva lot. It's a logistical mountain. Add applause/cheer time & they're not getting done until past midnight, CST.

[wnylib]

32. Reminds me of the old days when delegates chose the candidate

at the convention. Roll calls and speeches went well into the night. I used to stay up to watch them for as long as I could hold out.

[ancianita]

33. Same. These days I'll have to have coffee.

[cloudbase]

30. I just got an email letting me know that Harris County (TX) Judge Lina Hidalgo

will be speaking in the 6:00 hour.

[Tribetime]

35. Excellent ty
