Most everyone I know streamed it live on YouTube because we are done with cable TV & cable news coverage. There was also a list of the speakers online, and (in our home) we ran to do things to make sure we caught the speeches. I think she would make a great Speaker of the House.
Literally one of their top tier communicators and they can’t seem to figure out how to give her a bigger spot? Or is this just a “we made an oopsie giving Obama a big spot in 04 and he took over the party, let’s not do that again” thing?
It wasn’t the party organization that was responsible for Bush getting primaried, but AIPAC. I’m guessing AIPAC went after Bush and Bowman because their data showed they were vulnerable.
I don’t think the slot matters that much. Only the most dedicated watch the convention live these days, and most folks will get just a few excerpts in the regular news broadcast, if even that. I’m guessing that getting grassroots spread of the speech like this matters much more than when she talks.
And the chants of AOC at the beginning of the speech indicate that she’s got strong support among delegates which will translate to strong support in the party machinery going forward.
