Night 3 of the DNC was perhaps the most tame night so far. Despite some celebrities taking the stage - the speaker list lacked some energy turning the night into a bit of a snooze fest. Bill Clinton, Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro and more filled the night with plenty of talk about vibes and joy, but not much substance. So, is a good feeling enough to carr…
