Tell that to the families of the dead who were murdered by the terrorists.

Does it cost the same to live in NYC as it does in a mid west? In the state I live in I'm doing well and living a pretty nice life, if I were to live in NYC I'd be scrounging and living a very low standard of living.

That speech by Corey Booker was AMAZING!

Exactly what Americans want and need to hear.

Together we are better. Individualism gets individuals through difficulties, but individualism didn't accomplish the great things that have happened in our country - great things have happened when we all worked together.

America doesn't need to be great again. America has always been and can always be great!

LOVE trumps hate.

Booker for President 2020!
Booker was full of hot air and empty words, whipping up the crowd and enjoying himself doing that.
"Together we are better" is the same as "You didn't build that". What a commie message, and the crowd falls for it.

Can anyone in the Dem party tell me that they really do want Hillary, a proven liar, to have any power to 'shape our children'? ?

Maybe Michelle wasn't thinking right - that vest was interfering with her breathing, cutting down O2 to the brain.

The DNC presented a very good Open to the Convention.

We can't worry about the RNC's inability to comprehend what the DNC speakers were talking about.

I don't think there's an antidote for what ever condition that has afflicted Republican Mindsets. Its dominantly obvious at this point, their selective Amnesia and drama chasing has some twisted element wrapped in it; of which, is very adverse to cooperative and functionally interactive civil society. They prefer to seek fights and contentions filled by drama.

They push ahead trying to validity the "swindler", because they are consumed with dis-illusion behind anyone who says they have money.
These are the same people who will on a moments notice become anguished and push contention, try to turn simple things into some they can create drama behind.
It's so unfortunate that such a volume can be driven like a posse, off any cliff their herder can find, and they crash the bottom and; if they survive they will deny they were driven off and pretend they slipped. and get up and follow the herder again, they will repeat this cycle without fail.

I know, let's have a thread where the Repubs can call Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas! An entire thread just for that. I have no idea where they get this childish name calling from but get it out of your system. They have childish names for everyone--Grow Up! and write something coherent instead of simply name calling.

That said, I will still vote for Hillary, not that I agree with all of it (like illegals and free tuition) but there won't be a country to vote in at all if Trump wins.

To be fair, there are a myriad of posts in this very thread from last evening referring to Melania Trump as a "fembot". It doesn't appear that name-calling is a habit synonymous with any one particular side. Let's shed our myopia and keep it honest.

They are fine with that but the minute you knock Trump, they get thin-skinned. Grow a pair republicans. If you don't like it when the shoe is on the other got, don't do it in the first place.

I can't remember isn't that what the dog whistle for the RNC was?
