A lot of the commentary on the Democratic Convention was it was very negative. Very much attacking trump. President trump it was dark, i agree. What do we see from your Party Next Week .

what s going on, i agree with john that biden is so experienced and i think he could. you know, i think should bernie sanders or elizabeth warren get the nomination, i think they re more than capable of it. you know, there are a fair number of people up there who could do that. i thought bennett and the governor of steve bullock had a good night, but they don t have a lot of exposure so it s going to be less likely they ll get the nomination. governor kasich, you like many of the democrats running now certainly have a long political resume. trump is not the most obvious statement in the world not your typical politician, but he has mastered a way to level personal attacks and stay away from really any policy details, like certainly nobody i ve ever seen before. is that the biggest challenge ahead for anyone facing him? because i mean, you re arguing against somebody who isn t arguing a set of facts that are agreed upon, and who is even not even arguing policy that much.
