My impressions about the Democratic Convention

In spite of all the pandemic restrictions, the Democrats delivered wonderfully well produced four-night convention with great presentations, excellent speeches and successfully made the case for Joe Biden as a candidate that could stand up to Trump.
Even a skeptic like me was greatly re-assured and sold on his chances of squashing our terrible president. Barak and Michelle Obama’s speeches stood out and our former president is truly a great orator and a consummate salesman on behalf of his party.

This also reminded me that political leaders are unfortunately good salespeople who know how to get elected, but poor or mediocre decision makers with variable judgmental qualities, little ability to improvise, and not necessary a working understanding and a sense of politicking.

Overall, I’m pleased with the performance delivered by the Democrats and I truly believe that it will be hard for the Republicans to neutralize it, yet alone do better.
