The convention is a time for the Democrats to present themselves in their best light in the hopes that more people will vote for them.
But what have they shown so far?
Wild radical protesters, dancing abortion pills, free vasectomies, as well as a raft of lies from Joe Biden and other Democrats. Oh, and a bunch of Democrats who didn't seem to know how to sing the National Anthem. That's probably not going to go over well.
Then there was the chaos of shoving Biden to speak very late on Monday night. Not to mention that Biden did not exactly sound very joyful as he was ranting and screaming during his speech.

Maybe that was because he was up way past his bedtime. But his team was not exactly happy, as Matt Margolis at our sister site PJ Media reported.
Alex Thompson of Axios reported that a longtime Biden aide texted him, “This is awful. He literally set up a campaign and handed it over to them—do they have to cut him out of prime time?"
Joe's team may be thick, but they get an insult when they're handed one. How could you not? And now that Harris has taken over, one has to think that's all on her that he was treated like old newspaper.
It also says a lot about Biden that he was out of there like a shot and wasn't sticking around to hear the speeches from Barack Obama or Kamala Harris; he's on more vacation for a week. That says exactly what he thinks about them in return.
Margolis noted the report that Obama threatened Biden that they had Kamala on board with making a 25th Amendment move against him. That could leave Biden disturbed at Harris, in addition to how everything went down at the DNC, although he did endorse her.
While Biden said during his remarks that reports about him being angry weren't true, over the years, Joe Biden has shown that he's a very petty man who doesn't like to be challenged. He's been challenged in a big way with all this. So I don't think I believe him when he says that he isn't angry.
It also sounds like there may be some kind of revenge on someone's mind.
Peter Hamby at Puck News reports that something is brewing behind the scenes. "Make no mistake: Biden, and a handful of advisers in his inner circle, are still licking their wounds after the party putsch to get him out of the race," he writes. "They would love to live in a world where Biden was still the nominee, even if things are unquestionably better for the party now, with a tidal wave of post-Biden excitement that has Harris surging in the polls."
Hamby continues:
I’m also told by two Democratic sources that Biden communications adviser Anita Dunn gave a rather salty departure speech at her farewell event after leaving the White House two weeks ago, with an odd reference to The Godfather and vague allusions to “getting revenge,” one person told me. Harris herself isn’t a big fan of Dunn, so her departure was probably for the best.
Now, we'll have to see what, if anything, comes to pass.
Yes, they threw Biden under the bus again with how they treated him on Monday. But he also threw his own legacy under the bus by making it not about that legacy but about Donald Trump. So that will be his legacy — the guy who imploded his career so badly he had to be shoved aside and went out consumed with hatred for Trump.
