It might sound weird, but these 4 days of the DNC have really lifted my mood.
I have optimism and energy I have not felt since 2008.
It's hard to put into words, but the nine years since 2015 have felt like a daily assault upon my senses and sensibilities, my core values and beliefs, from a miserable old man whose doom laden, miserable, dysfunctional ever presence has been like a daily emotional sledge hammer.
And now, like the Wizard of Oz, the witch is melting, leaving only a hat behind.
