The third night of the Democratic National Convention was devoted to A-list speakers — from President Barack Obama to former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — whose rousing speeches were filled with praise for Hillary Clinton and sharp attacks for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. CQ Roll Call’s Chief Content Officer David Ellis sums up what the water-cooler talk will be about today and what he expects of Clinton, poised to accept the Democratic nomination.
