Is this exhausting, overlong Dem convention convincing any voters?
David Harsanyi
If a person were forced to pick one word to describe the third night of the Democratic National Convention, it would probably be “exhausting.”
It was nearly 11 p.m., three hours into the primetime portion of the day, when our monotonous Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg finally hit the DNC stage. Now, I’m not a professional political adviser, but one highly doubts that voters — most of whom would be waking up for work on Thursday — were clamoring to hear from the bungling head of the least important bureaucracy in the country.
Mayor Pete had just followed the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, though both men hit nearly the same exact themes that scores of other Democratic speakers had already gone over.
Surely Buttigieg was going to introduce vice presidential candidate Tim Walz next, and put us out of our misery?
Nope. Welcome John Legend and Sheila E! The duo covered Prince’s music, because the late singer, like Walz, called Minnesota home. So I was hopeful this nightmare was coming to an end.
