The Official Democratic Convention Thread

Bad start with the chairwoman stepping down for unfair support for Hillary.

But a good lineup for Monday night.

Michelle Obama

Elizabeth Warren

Bernie Sanders

Michelle is received very positively and will throw support to Hillary.

Warren will do world class Trump bashing and get the liberals going

Bernie has brought new voters in and is guiding him to Hillary. He won't Ted Cruz the moment

At the GOP convention it was Trump's goon Manafort preventing a procedural vote by the delegates who want the option to not select Trump.

The GOP wall was for the Soros funded mobsters who have been showing their respect for the democratic process all campaign season long. The Dem wall is to protect themselves from their fellow Bernie dems for being traitors not only to the democratic process but also their own party. The hypocrisy concerning walls belongs to the democratic party for opposing their own countrys borders and sovereignty and the walls of illegal servers that threatened state secrets. The un-cuckified repubs are nationalists, the dems are internationalist globalists just like their neo-con bro's and crony capitalists on Wall Street. The times are-a-changing.

Yes of course the GOP had a wall. The GOP isn't preaching to us that Walls Don't Work and Walls Are Raycist.

So, since a GOP isn't Raycyst, then why have any wall at all?

Because walls aren't Raycist, contrary to what the Dems say.

It doesn't matter what happens at the Democratic National Convention. Trump got a convention bump, and Hillary will get one also, but it matters not. The 13 keys STILL say Hillary wins (assuming she is physically able to serve as President). The electoral college still shows a very tough road for Trump (but again, tough road or not, it doesn't matter. Hillary wins due to the keys).

So, Bernie will whip some of the very liberal attendees into a lather, Warren will come in and say smart negative things about Trump, and Hillary will come in later and get the crowd cheering...but again, none of this matters. Trump will not and can not win.

Hillary wins in November.

To avoid a massive defeat, Trump will drop out of the race very late in the game. "The system is rigged" will be Trump's reason. Better to drop out and claim foul, than stay in and get stomped.

The Republicans will be caught with their pants pulled down by Trump. Too late to toss a Cruz/Rubio ticket into the election so close to the vote.

You guys' imagination is so cute. Whatever you do, don't check the latest polls or Nate Silver's projections.

Bad start.

How come you socialists always never answer a question concerning one of your fellow travelers misdeeds without switching the subject to one of your enemies real or perceived misgivings? I'm not surprised since the polls showed that Hillarys supporters (70%) said they would still vote for her even if she was criminally prosecuted. Her out was a corrupted FBI chief who excused her on the grounds that "she didn't intend no harm." The ends justify the means for the relativistic situational ethics of those followers of the Cult of Karl.

"The 13 keys STILL say Hillary wins"

"Wait a minute, are you implying the factors for the 13 key can change from now to the election?

If so, then your theory has an easy out

Interesting charts.

The now poll has Trump barely winning.

The projected poll has Hillary barely winning.

The difference is the now poll has Trump winning PA and the projected poll has Hillary winning PA.

And the Democrat Convention is in PA.

New York Daily News Anti-Cop writer Shaun King is NOT listed among the speakers, he had endorsed Bernie Sanders, he does not like Trump and is Threatening to not vote for Hillary Clinton because of the speaking snub. He has also threatened to leave the USA (as has Al Sharpton, Miley Cyrus and others) if Trump is elected, based on this I will probably vote for Trump.

Your logic is circumvented.

Hey flagpole, since you are so conservative with your money and have taken your financial future into your own hands, I've always wondered how you are so strongly on the side of the party of freebies and overwhelming govt control? Seems like a big contradiction to me.

Yes, they can change. Go read about them. MAJOR scandal for Obama or a declared recession could change things. Has to happen first, and right now, neither is the case.

I'm very informed.l Trump is Putin's b*tch. You are Trump's cuck. Ergo, you are Putin's b*tch and should be imprisoned for treason along with Trump.

How long & GOP Liars are pathetic. Only uninformed SJW will eat that sheeeeet bozo's. Hillary is If anyone Putins bud as she gave away access to uranium resources in her wheeling dealing Secretary of State position. Sorry, Hillary and her top aide Debbie are the Queens e-mails. Make it up and grasp for straw dogs.

Meh. RNC bump for Trump. Hillary still wins. Too difficult for Trump to get the 270 electoral votes he needs...in the bag for Hillary.

Free college, increasing numbers of foot stamp program participants, 200+% increase in minimum wage for completely unskilled workers, tax credits for everything you can think of.

Federal government eroding states rights on all social issues, collecting more and more taxes and then penalizing local jurisdictions by not distributing tax collections to locales that don't play by the federal rules, stuff like that. Any more examples needed?

1) Republicans talk a good game, but on the Federal level, they have a VERY poor history of reigning in spending. Ronald Reagan remains the KING of spending as a percentage of GDP. Republicans and Democrats spend too much and needlessly. No clear winner here as much as Republicans like to think they win.

2) I am not for ALL spending decisions that either party make, but I stand firmly on the side with Democrats regarding social issues. Many of those issues are now won. Gays in the military, gay marriage legal, abortion still legal, marijuana becoming legal, less Christianity being forced on those who don't believe.

3) As our society becomes more and more secular, and the Republican party moves further and further away from Fundamentalist Christians, that could open the door for me to vote for a Republican one day. I currently describe myself as an agnostic. 5 years ago I would have said Christian, but I just can't embrace what much of Christianity pushes as important these days. If John Kasich had won the Republican nomination this time, I would have had a tough decision to make. He proved to me that he has scruples by not endorsing Trump.

4) Personal financial knowledge and practice isn't a political issue at all. Boat loads of Republicans and Democrats don't prepare properly for retirement. Also, I wouldn't necessarily call myself conservative with my money. I actually spend a lot. I currently have ZERO debt because I own all three cars I have outright and I own my house outright. Just a little extra attention to detail and spending money on only things I really want have enabled me to do that. I have spent a LOT of money on vacations for example because it is something I value. I don't have cardboard shoes or eat Ramen noodles. Doesn't take too much discipline to earmark 15% (I currently do 20%) of your income to retirement and then throw extra money at the house when you can.
