Yesterday was the first day of the Democratic National Convention. It is turning out to be just as bad, if not worse than the Republican Convention last week. With just the first night under wraps, it is too soon for me to have my entire opinion out on the whole week.

The speakers included: Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Astrid Silva, and others. Michelle Obama gave a speech talking about how great America is. She basically said to not listen to Trump because America always has been and always will be great. Her speech was very eloquently delivered. It spoke of the children of the country, playing to the mothers in the audience. She's a good speaker, but other than that it was average.

Senator Bob Casey said Trump would "cut taxes for the richest Americans at the expense of the middle class." However all income levels would get some tax relief under Trump's plan.

Elizabeth Warren had very in your face remarks about Donald as well. There was no question that she didn't like the guy. "Trump’s entire campaign is just one more late-night Trump infomercial. Hand over your money, your jobs, your children’s future, and The ­­­­­­Great Trump Hot Air Machine will reveal all the answers,” she said. “And, for one low, low price, he’ll even throw in a goofy hat.”

Rep. Joe Kennedy III stated that American's wages "have not budged in 40 years," and Warren said that wages were "flat." This is also false. Wages plunged in the 70s and 80s, more recently they have shown growth. (Factcheck.org)

Bernie tried his hardest to unite the Democratic party, even though all the email scandals happened prior to the convention. His supporters seemed very upset, some even in tears. They booed as he kept his endorsement of Clinton.

In his speech, Sanders stated the "top one-tenth of 1 percent now owns almost almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent," this statistic has been questioned by economists at the Federal Reserve Board (according to factcheck.org.) Sanders also stated that the top 1 percent in recent years has earned 85 percent of all new income, but economist who's work Sanders has cited put the figure at 52 percent for 1993 to 2015 according to factcheck.org.

Sanders said that Clinton would "guarantee" free tuition at public colleges or universities for families with annual incomes of $125,000 or less. But that free tuition is not guaranteed, states must put up matching funds for the students to receive "free" tuition.

Republicans are upset because there was absolutely no talk of terrorism or the threats of ISIS mentioned in the Convention. Democrats however were appalled that the Republicans don't take climate change more seriously.

This thing is still far from over, folks.
