Democratic Convention: Night 2

Basically, with the clips added up....I watched a total of about 60 minutes.

Four observations:

1.  There's a real problem in generating hype and enthusiasm compared to a normal convention.  As they emerge out of this week, I seriously doubt that they get more than 2 or 3 points of a gain, and within a week....that's gone. 

I blame the digital way this was handled.....you just can't generate hype.

2.  Bill Clinton speaks?  Well....in a minor and short way.  They should have given him twice the talking time.

3.  Jill Biden's speech?  I give it three stars. 

4.  After everything wrapped up.....they came back around to viewers for night #1....where it lost a quarter of the audience from 2016. 

They need some magic to really pull up the numbers at this point.
