The Official Democratic Convention Thread

No, you are missing the point. The oratory, the charisma and everything you mentioned doesn't make him Hitler. Not as we have come to know Hitler. I can provide you a link of a transcript to an FDR speech in 1936 that out did anything Trump has done so far in appealing directly to angry white Americans.

I just told you what Hitler had already done before he even came to power. If you don't believe me, just look it up. Hitler was Hitler before he came to power and he didn't change after he was in power.

Again, put more trust in the record than the oratory. When you look at Trump's record you see a somewhat sleazy businessman and huckster. But oddly someone whom a diverse set of people continue to associate with and do business with.

Ok Hitler was worse but read this.

Yeah, I read that. But I don't know how anyone can honestly say they didn't know what kind of character Trump truly has before this election season. Trump has been in the media for decades and he was making sexist comments publicly through out all that time. Yet, through it all the media treated Trump with respect. When senator Clinton went to Trump's wedding in 2005 here were some of the things Trump had said publicly about women.

I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?” Trump is quoted as saying of his then-wife in a 1990 Vanity Fair piece.

“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” — from an interview with Esquire, 1991

“It’s certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on ‘The Apprentice’ were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex appeal.” — How To Get Rich, 2004

Also, Trump likely has paid zero taxes for many years because of a tax code that Hillary supports. His corporations filed for bankruptcy in part because of favorable bankruptcy laws that Hillary effectively supports.

Hillary and in particular the NBC corp. is making it difficult for me to take their Trump criticisms seriously.

Jeering during a moment of silence for slain police officers should be all you need to know to understand what Democrats are like.

That was a few idiots, not reflective of Democrats. But that was HORRIBLE! The extreme segments of the BLM movement are KILLING any sympathy people have for their cause.

I think we are learning much more about Trump as the election progresses and it is very disturbing. The real author of "The Art of Making a Deal" gave a vivid account of an individual with a severe personality disorder. Everything Schwartz describes makes perfect sense with what we see. Seeing people as either the greatest or as scum bag liars, being addicted to any attention, habitual lying and manipulation. The author felt his book should have been named the sociopath.

The author felt so guilty about writing this book he donated all the proceeds to charities for people that have been hurt by Trump.

Scary stuff.

No, you missed the point. It makes him a dictator-like person. My post was NOT about the Hitler you know of today. It was about the Hitler who knew how to appeal to a certain demographic, knew how to speak in simple terms, and knew how to scare them about bogeymen.

Well then I don't really care about your point. Again, FDR made the same types of speeches in the 1930s doing exactly what you just described.

Nope.

> Russia had nothing to do with the leaks that Wikileaks has.

Who is "we"? Speak for yourself. Maybe I've leaned a few details about Trump in this election, but nothing that changes what I thought he always was. Certainly Hillary knew. And that is the point.You need to understand that there are many people leaning towards Trump who don't like him. But they are looking at a choice between voting for Mussolini or the woman who went to Mussolini's wedding and laughed it up with him. Moreover that woman is supporting continual bombing all over the globe with no end in sight and "free trade" with communist governments. In the face of that, Hillary says in her speech to just trust in her record. Its likely Hillary is going after the now alienated Republican neocon voters. And frankly, she has earned that vote and should get a lot of it. Its just a question of how big that voting block is these days.

Can the Muslims even support Hillary? The wife there wasn't allowed to speak. If they don't believe women should speak then do they believe it's morally okay for one to become prez?

John McCain's granddaughter is voting for Hillary.

"Caroline McCain published a post on Medium post titled “For This Republican, Never Trump Means ‘I’m With Her'”. In the post, Caroline announced that thanks to Trump’s awfully disrespectful comments about her grandfather and minorities, Hillary Clinton would be getting her vote."

That makes no sense.

Clinton is the one who's ordered the recent bombings, against the recommendations of top U.S. generals, not Trump, who hasn't bombed anyone. Thus Clinton is the Mussolini, not Trump.

Her record is terrible.

That Clinton has earned the Neocon vote is a huge red flag to not vote for her.

That was the worst speech of both conventions. Trump will rip her to shreds in the debates.

Trump is going to chicken out of the debates. Here is how:
