I hope Bernie slumped in a chair looking like a guy whose wife just dragged him to a Broadway musical isn’t our last image of him.

Amazing that we’re in a time where it’s a point of contrast for a candidate to say “I believe in science” #DemsInPhilly

HC’s speech seems a synthesis of the week’s major themes: Unify w/Bernie-ites, tell her personal story, defend O’s record, court moderates

Great speech. She’s tested. She’s ready. She never quits. That’s why Hillary should be our next @POTUS. (She’ll get the Twitter handle, too)
