The RNC got some washed up soap opera actress whose name no one can recall.

All about Kimberlin Brown, the soap star-turned-California avocado farmer who is closing Tuesday's GOP convention - LA Times

Pennsylvania's only state-wide elected Republican, Sen. Pat Toomey, boycotted the RNC in Cleveland, too.

On top of that he refuses to endorse Donald.

Republican Ohio governor Kasich boycotted the RNC even though his state was hosting the convention.

Pennsylvania's Democratic governor Wolf attended the DNC in Philadelphia.

I didn't watch all of either convention. Who could stomach that?

But I did see part of each night for both. As the analysts have been saying all day long, the DNC was well organized and went very well. The RNC was gloomy, pessimistic and full of B-list appearances.

Point: DNC

So, basically, you saw a highlight reel. How many "Boo's!" did you hear? How many shots of delegates walking out in disgust? How many shots of Bernie supporters getting their signs ripped out of their hands by Hillary thugs? And as far as "B" list actors? Yeah..they must have forgetten the shameful Z list scum they trotted out like Jew hater Silverman, Failed SNL dope Franken, some dumb actress from a show about maids or something, and of course the 2 illegal aliens flaunting their violating federal laws..yeah, next time watch a little more than what MSdnc feeds you

We all should thank Donald Trump for helping to unite the RNC with the DNC.

They also are too stubborn to consider even the slightest possibility that things have improved under Obama. Do they not remember the job situation 8 years ago, or the people losing everything they had worked for ? My God, people look around you. Jobs are there if you want them, construction is at an 8 year high, and people are spending money again on luxury items !

Where the Hell all this doom and gloom comes from, I have NO idea. Glad I get up every day and thank God that things are improving.


One line that stuck with me from last night's DNC was about how people who sit on the sidelines and criticize should get into the arena and actually see how it is in there. So easy to be a Monday morning QB, but the people who actually get in there and try to do things (like Hillary) are willing to take the hits and still come back to try to make things happen. That takes guts.

Don
Than why did you did start a thread awhile back saying how you decided voting for Obama was a mistake? I believe it was called "I may have been wrong about Obama", and you were very leery of him now?

Where does doom and gloom come from? Well let's just look at the last couple of months and events that have occurred in Europe and our country.

The only thing that would have made the DNC Convention better would've been Tim Tebow showing up to endorse Hillary.
