A five-minute standing ovation for Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention! A minute for each of the five decades of selfless public service in support of our democracy and the average working American citizen.
I do not understand the allure of Donald Trump. This is a man with faults: arrogant, dishonest and self-centered. He displays a lack of basic human respect for those who disagree with him. He offers no realistic solutions to his “Make America Great Again” promise. It’s just a slogan with nothing behind it. I remember a line from the movie, “The Usual Suspects.” Kevin Spacey says, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” The greatest trick Trump ever pulled is to make people believe he cares about them when he only cares about himself.
I stood at home and applauded with the DNC delegates for the full five minutes.
