Trump's speech was red meat for his base, divisive and the opposite of unifying. Joe Kennedy's speech was the appropriate response to that.

Maybe, but don't democrats want a good one? Pubs can admit they don't like some of their own. That guy is not a good representative for dems, regardless of his race or gender. You can do better.

Republicans will screech and throw feces at any human that does not worship at the alter of Trump.

Yeah, what was the thinking behind having him give the speech? Name value? He's a white guy?

The presentation was flat and not effective. Nothing real about the guy.

You are describing Barack and Michelle as their garden and legacy are being erased.

If they did any better .... they wouldn't be (ugh!) Democrats.

There's no question that Trump and the Republican party are pathologically obsessed with trying to erase a black man from the history of this country. Make no mistake, it will be the duty of the Democratic party to erase Trump's legacy and brag about it at every opportunity.

What planet are you talking about?

Republicans absolutely LOVE that Joe Kennedy III gave the official Democrat rebuttal last night. It sums up what that broken party has come to represent these days.

Kennedy has officially branded the Democrat Party as the Anti-American party.

Forget about them. Look out for yourselves. You can do better than that. If not, then maybe time to regroup.

Sure seems to have you worked up. You can't seem to stop talking about it.

Oh, and the "Deplorables" argument didn't work for Hillary either.
