There were several celebrity women speakers on Day 2 of the DNC. While I think this year’s DNC has been more exciting, watchable and positive than last week’s RNC, I still believe that whoever organized the schedule of speakers needs to find other work. There’s absolutely no reason why Michelle Obama’s speech (the best speech thus far) should have gone on Day 1. And on Day 2, Lena Dunham was in prime time… but John Lewis was not. Eric Holder spoke before America Ferrera. I’m just saying, the schedule bugs. And I’m saying that as someone who really likes America Ferrera. As for Ferrera and Dunham, they were paired together for their speech. This would have worked fine with just America, honestly.

Next up: Elizabeth Banks. You guys know I love Banks. She’s badass, she’s funny, she’s vehemently pro-choice and a vocal advocate for Planned Parenthood. But many thought her speech sort of bombed? I think there was a tone problem, a little bit.

Here’s Meryl Streep’s speech, which came late in the evening. It’s worth noting that one of Meryl’s big causes is the history of American women, telling the stories of our foremothers and specifically working towards breaking ground of The National Women’s History Museum. Meryl was there to talk about the historic nature of Hillary Clinton’s nomination, and God willing, our first female president.
