I watched both RNC and DNC conventions every night. Did you?

This is true and Hillary will wipe the floor with Trump. It will not be pretty. Trump is a poor debater, he has a weak command of facts, he has trouble forming and communicating complex thoughts. He had success in the primary debates because he can be brash and out-insult the other guys. That will not work in a presidential debate.

She either really inspired people or really turned them off:

"The Democratic convention is doing something right (or wrong, depending on how people plan to vote): The phrase “voter registration” hit its highest level on Google since the primaries on Wednesday night.

On the third night, searches for “voter registration” spiked 190%..."

Americans are furiously Googling 'voter registration'

As for the bump,I think she might see +3.

Gee, if they had so many amazing speakers at the convention, maybe they should have nominated one of them rather than Hillary.

It doesn't really matter what kind of bump she gets at this point. She should have gotten one when Bernie was forced out yet Comey's report seemed to erase that possibility. I guess that would mean the poster that said it will depend on what the weekend brings, more "exposure" to the corruption or not.

The more time passes the more Trump has time to talk more **** and finally choke on it.

You can insult, bluff and BS your way through a debate a heck of a lot easier when you have as many as 16 opponents on stage than you can when you're one on one. That's going to be Trump's problem in the debates with Hillary as opposed to those in the primaries.

Trump will have a lot more time to expose his lack of depth of knowledge on a host of subjects.

I suspect the Potemkin Village is already constructed.

Default Waiting for the Hillary Bump

With all the star power for the old hag, we'll see if the hot and delicious sycophants like Katy Perry can budge Hillary's poll numbers.

Her Frail and predatory husband can't save her from her shameful record.

Sanders supporters should evaluate Hillary before making a poor decision in November.
