How did the democrats, the party which lost over 900 seats in the last election, ever decide that having a retire white guy give the response was a good rebuttal? Trump is the president we deserve.

There are so many angles you could take with this and I feel like in a time where the entire nation's at a crisis point, this was a waste. Our president's literally a Russian spy and they're treating it like a milquetoast Romney type.
literally anyone doing the speech will look small and petty in comparison. this is because it is, in fact, small and petty in comparison. it is a garbage slot that cannot possibly be substantive. you talk about "not having learned anything" but how has anyone not learned that "democrats should just talk and educate people more" does not solve poo poo.

Everytime they got ready to say Trump had mellowed or gotten serious during the campaign he went off the rails within 48 hours.

Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
I thought it a bit morbid to use the corpse of Ryan Owens, that SEAL Trump killed in a botched raid, as the podium for the speech, but it made for powerful TV. The evening started with me horrified at Trump leaning on a rotting corpse tied to a piece of wood and ended with my grudging respect after his Reagan-esque speech points. Two big thumbs up!

It builds on conservative self interest though.
