about the inappropriateness and ineffectiveness of shouting down the president when millions of Americans are watching. It's terrible optics in an election in which we really have to have our shit together. Whether the hecklers are right or wrong is irrelevant.

Barack Obama has paid his dues, and this is a history-making convention. Dissent on TPP is good. Inhibiting someone's ability to give a speech so you can voice that is unacceptable.
