Dispatch from the trainwreck
by digby
This from former Bush official Dan Senor:
O'DONNELL: You and I are about the same age. What did you make of -- we were here broadcasting the primetime special of 10 to 11. This was half empty, this hall. And it was something like I've never seen before.
SENOR: Yeah, I've never seen anything like it. I was on the floor there right there during the roll call vote. So I've been to many conventions. During the roll call vote, the energy and intensity during that moment is palpable. People are swinging from the ceiling because they're so excited about their nominee. You could hear a pin drop. It was muted in here. I just think this is a party that has sort of resigned to this nominee but not excited about him.
This from his wife:
And yes, Dan Senor was part of the Bush administration that tortured people and started illegal wars. Trump would be no different on that count. It's the domestic war Trump's promoting that seems to be the bridge too far for these folks. I guess even they have their limits.
