13. Didn't cry

Jul 2016

as in sobbing. But I did tear up just from the emotion of what the party did tonight in nominating Hillary. That was reinforced by Hillary herself in the concluding video, speaking about the aspirational meaning of this night for little girls in the now and future.

Hillary's nomination as the first woman of a major party is a big f**cking deal. I fully expect to need a box of tissues for her acceptance speech.

We're watching a brilliant convention.
