The Morning Joe panel recaps the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which featured a keynote address by President Biden and a surprise appearance from VP Kamala Harris.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 20 episode of 'Morning Joe.' You look at the first night of the Democratic National Convention and you just can’t calculate that. You can’t fake that level of joy. People are either enjoying themselves and are happy or they’re not. As for the Republican ticket, you have two candidates — who at least publicly — project misery. They’re not happy. They’re always looking for retribution. They’re looking for people to blame.
As a Republican, I thought it was just too easy to beat Democrats because they’re afraid to have a good time. They’re afraid to be joyful. But what Republicans watching at home feared the most Monday night was not just the joy radiating from the crowd, but also their chants of “USA, USA, USA.” Why did that message ring true at the DNC? Because the Republican Party has sold itself to a man who lies about America.
