Cory Booker is a great public speaker. I've watched him over the years and I think he's definitely going up in the world, the same way Barack did.

It seems like the Democrats as a whole have better speechwriters.

I heard Cory Booker was one of the "candidates" for vice president - or maybe that was just media guesswork. But fuuuck I was moved by that speech.

And not that no one uses speechwriters, but it was reported that Obama was up until 3am the night before trying to perfect his speech. I think some or most at least contribute to their speeches themselves?

I wouldn't be surprised if Cory Booker was on the shortlist for vice president, but I think he needs a few more years in the national spotlight first. I think he's also a bit more progressive than Tim Kaine, which may be why Hilary went for Kaine.

I think the DNC uses speechwriters just to tweak the speech or more to edit the kinks. They just seem like better orators and more charismatic speeches. I've been moved by them this year, just like Obama's first speech in 2004.

I know a lot of liberals who don't like Cory Booker because he's perceived as being in the pocket of the big banks at least as much Hillary and Kaine, who both have that problem. But then he's progressive on other issues. So he seems to be a bit of the worst of both worlds to me, able to be attacked by both Sanders supporters and people in the center.

That's why I think he needs to even himself out in the national spotlight a bit longer. He hasn't been Senator long, prior to that he was mayor of Newark, NJ which is one of the more crime ridden areas in the country. He was constantly trying to turn the city around and I know there were quite a few scandals that popped up while he was mayor.

Also the Democrats had better goddamn speakers. Because of the complete organizational dissolution of the Republican Party as a discrete entity. I mean, seriously.

I agree with this so much. I think the Democrats are coming together cohesively to side with Hilary (as obvious by Bernie's endorsement of her) whereas the Republicans are still trying to tear each other down.

It's partly that. But I think it's also on a much deeper level: because the Republican party has dissolved, you can more easily survive as a Republican on the state level by being a chickenfucker who's powerful within your party machine and appeals to state-level activists. Same reason so many of the Republican presidential candidates busted so hard: if you're a Scott Walker, everything looks great as long as you're in Wisconsin, but then you leave and it turns out you're an incompetent dickhead.

You do have some of those on the Democratic side - Martin O'Malley, and Brian Schweitzer who isn't even at the convention, and Alan Grayson are some examples off the top of my head - but the Democratic Party at a state and national level is better organized to be able to squeeze those fuckers out. And the Republicans can't really do that. Look at how Harry Reid is treating Alan Grayson in that primary, and then try to imagine McConnell trying to do the same thing to the equivalent Republican politician. It's impossible.

The Republicans' roster of speakers was pathetic. The best they could scrape up in terms of celebrity star power was Scott freaking Baio, Antonio Sabato, Jr., and one of the "Duck Dynasty" guys. Woooooo. I know there's bigger conservative celebrity names out there, they seriously couldn't find at least ONE of those to give a speech?

And then Melania plagiarizing part of her speech certainly didn't help matters, either (though I don't put the blame on her for that one, that's the fault of the idiot who thought that would be a good thing to do when helping craft her speech).

Pretty sure all of the actually good Republican speakers refused to go to the convention. Weren't there like hardly any actual senators and such there? iirc most of speakers were business people and celebrities.
