Booooo! BOOOOOO. The sound of disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters permeated virtually all the speeches at the Democratic National Convention on Monday—even as Sanders himself was speaking. Now, on Day 2, it remains to be seen whether Sarah Silverman’s chastisement of the Bernie-or-bust crowd, Michelle Obama’s impassioned call for party unity, and Bernie Sanders’ own endorsement of Hillary Clinton will together be enough to mollify the die-hards during Tuesday night’s keynote from Bill Clinton.

Pundits and politicos will be watching closely to see what happens. Below are their live tweets, drawn from a list of top accounts curated by Slate. You’ll see left-leaning commentators on the left and right-leaning commentators on the right. Let the spin begin.
