    Swift and Beyoncé are no Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan, but they will have to do.

    According to CNN in addition to Obama, Biden, Hilary Clinton and Bill Clinton, Republican Adam Kinzinger will be speaking at the DNC. Also expected is Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Elvis, Tupac and Jesus. Anything less will be considered a disappointment by critics.

    This will be interesting. I feel like this convention could be either a huge flop or the time to drive a stake thru the heart of Maga.
    I would assume the R party has people just as sharp running their campaign, but it doesn't matter because trump won't listen to them.

    Joe Biden could give a hell of a speech depending on how he wants to go out… I really hope he is willing admit he got it wrong and the level of renewed interest and excitement for Harris is what the party needed.

    Kinzinger reminds me of a yard sign I saw yesterday in my very Republican neighborhood.

    "I'm a Republican but I'm also no fool. Harris/Walz 2024"

    I am amazed the DNC will parade Bill Clinton out there again. Who the hell really wants to listen to him? He is an absolute disgrace to the office of President, just like the idiot T most of you guys bash daily.

    Dude gives great speeches, though. Any real swing voters listening to him and Obama with an open mind will come out as a vote for Harris.
