Tonight has been not a lot of fun since I’ve been watching. We need to get Bill on before everyone goes to sleep. ---

As a film buff (snob), it’s hard for me not to roll my eyes when I see, in this slick film produced about Bill Clinton, incredibly cliched shots like the slo-mo closeup of the farmer’s hands, holding dirt that he crumbles and lets fall. Followed shortly thereafter by a shot of the same(?) farmer walking away, again in slo-mo, down a dirt road. C’mon, let’s dial back the cheese a bit! ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Someone on the Republican side, now that Trump is the actual nominee, has indoctrinated him properly into the party. I heard the proof myself. While decrying the lack of anyone having spoken the name “ISIS” at the convention last night, Trump called it the “Democrat convention”. Now it’s _really_ official. And a bit more petty. I was just looking at his tweets, and he said Democratic Convention about 15 minutes ago. ---

“Hillary: The Early Years” was a very good. But he is reading her entire resume now. ---

> [@AnalogSignal](#): > > “Hillary: The Early Years” was a very good. But he is reading her entire resume now. I hope my sister is watching. She thinks Hillary has never given a damn about any mother’s child, and sees no difference between Clinton and trump. I think Bill has done a fine job of humanizing Hillary. Some people think of her as some kind of plastic candidate, I think. ---

> [@leftfield6](#): > > Pretty sure Bill just said Trump Is a two dimensional cartoon. I thought so too but I think he actually said that the right was trying to turn Hillary in to a cartoon and the stuff they were saying was not the whole story (just 2 dimensions) and the people who could ignore the haters were voting for the real 3D Hillary. ---

I thought Bill was very effective in showing all that she accomplished. He could have trimmed some of the fat though.
