HLN: Jason Johnson answers the question: “Who had the best convention, Republicans or Democrats?”

In a Headline News interview, political science professor Jason Johnson described the Democratic National Convention as a “pep rally” and the Republican National Convention as an “intense business meeting.”

The Democrats were a much more emotional and enthusiastic crowd, says Johnson who attended both conventions for HLN.

“For the first four years, [Democrats] were laying down the tracks. Now they’re waiting for the train,” he says.
