Harris is delivering the best fucking political speech I have ever heard and I've been listening to this stuff since Jack Kennedy was in office.

This was Kamala Harris' version of his "Ask not what your country can do for you..." speech.

Wonder what Donald Trump thoughts are about this truth bomb. He's got problems if he can't steal this election.

I can see his brain fizzing like a chunk of dry ice in a bucket of water. He'll be rage screaming all night.

They might not be able to let him out in public after this!

But it was a very good speech to complete what may be the finest DNC (that I can quickly recall - might be overlooking one like 2008) that I have ever seen.

What they have done these last 32 days is remarkable.

I was impressed with her body language and gestures that flowed perfectly with her words. Probably part of her courtroom training.
