The Doldrums: After Candidate Decided but Before Convention (vote, million, political)

[LauraC]

Anyone (like me) bored because the nomination race is over and there are still a few weeks until the convention? Are you watching less cable TV news? Are you back to complaining that there is nothing on TV? Reading less political articles? Shrugging your shoulders over meetings and endorsement news? Not getting excited over Mitt's latest antics? Haven't even noticed the lack of polling? Posting less to this forum? Are there even rallies on YouTube, these days? Do you miss Low Energy Jeb, Lyin' Ted and Little Marco? Are you rooting for Bernie in the next couple of races just because he's entertaining?

I mean, the media wants us to get excited over the equivalent of you writing a note for your mother excusing why you didn't get your homework done. I can't do it.

Did you even remember that there is primary coverage tonight?

I'm so bored I'm not even watching the Kelly thing which is either tonight or tomorrow night. That's so yesterday.

We don't have cable and I don't watch the media coverage on the internet. My husband drowns himself in it from the internet.

I am not bored at all. I feel very energized to do the research on Hillary and educate those that are either too young to remember or who are medicated/deluded to the point that they don't remember or care.

As a woman, I feel embarrassed by women who want to vote for Hillary based on gender and feel it is important to educate them on Hillary's history when it comes to women.

So much to do!

Sounds like you two ladies are some of the smartest on the forum. I'm getting ready to join you on tuning out as Hellary is getting ready to spend 136 million on negative adds attacking Trump.

Said they will take three forms and they are all the things that Hellary is known and made famous for.
1) divisiveness
2) dangerous ( fear card )
3) con-man ( lying, deceving )

Will any of it stick ? I don't think so. They aren't claiming anything new. Another waste of 130 million.

I can relate to this. . . .however, the dems still have Bernie, hopefully he will shut out Hillary tonight, it will be a psychological loss for her and will continue to fire him and his base up.

Dems keep pissing him off stealing delegates, maybe he will launch a third party run
