As Twitchy told you, former president and possible first gentleman Bill Clinton kicked off his speech at the DNC Tuesday night with a sentimental flashback to 1971.
when they start with a date from the 1970s we're going to be here for awhile.

This speech is gonna take awhile

You think?
First part of Bill Clinton's speech is all about the personal story of him and Hillary and their early years: "I married my best friend."

The first part?

It's 10:30 p.m. ET and we're only up to 1982…

For those keeping score at home we are up to when Chelsea is 3.

Clinton forgot what year he was at

Political Twitter is all like: Bill, can we skip the 1980s and get to the present time already?

now at 1987. Hope he mentions "Is this Love" by Whitesnake.

Wait, did I miss Chelsea's prom? What the hell.

Maybe he’ll have to cut some bits from his and Hillary’s life story in order to make up some time.
"1998 was that whole impeachment thing, but let's skip that whole thing."

Bill magically fast-forwarded past the cattle futures, Whitewater, travel office, Lewinsky years & "closed the chapter" on WH yrs. Poof!

Still waiting for Bill to acknowledge Hillary's vote to invade Iraq.

Bill is going to have to bring me some bacon and eggs when this speech is finished… #demsinphilly

Bill: "We've got to get back on schedule." PLEASE..

Be patient and let the man finish.
Bill Clinton's speeches aren't made for Twitter. You have to wait and listen until the end for the big payoff. And he certainly delivered.
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) July 27, 2016
And the big payoff is …
'I hope you'll elect her.' Golly that's a very flat end

Speak for yourself:
Bill Clinton can go long anytime he wants.

New Dem strategy: Bill just going to keep talking until Trump's term as president is over.
