As if the convention hall isn't stormy enough... now nature's piling on:

— 2024 Democratic National Convention (@DemConvention) July 25, 2016
5:57 The room already seems more unified following Diane Russell's speech.
5:50 Diane Russell is up. Talking about super delegate reform/making the platform more progressive (cut them by 2/3) she's a Bernie delegate. Crowd keeps breaking into Bernie/Hillary chanting.
5:30 "Feel the Bern" t-shirt vs "Love Trumps Hate" placards.
5:10 Warring chants as part of the room chants "Bernie" and the other "Hillary."
Definitely America's most diverse convention ever.
Boos from the crowd every time Hillary or Kaine mentioned. Can't hear anything from the stage over the booing and cheering.
Chaos in here after only 50 minutes.
Bernie delegates chanting "Count the votes!"
Wellington Webb (former mayor of Denver): "It is not required that we always agree. But it is required that we always move forward."
4:00 We're underway. Democrats start by apologizing to Bernie Sanders before the convention has even begun.
