In my opinion, the conventions are stupid and unnecessary to begin with.
I suppose you think Trump & Co. live in the suburbs with white picket fences and work at Walmart?

I can't believe I'm seeing this coming from the candidate who has an insulting nickname for every person he's ever met or heard of.

Hmmmm. What did you think about Trump emerging from the fog machine? Seemed a little cheesy to me...
Donald Trump makes epic WWE-style intro at convention to introduce his wife

Well, sure, I guess. At least ALL the Republican past presidents were honest that they refused to attend the convention. Because they despise their own candidate.


And those many Senators and Governors, etc that just . . 'had other obligations."


The RNC was a flippin disaster and you know it.

I gotta tell you, even Trump's best buddy and shill Joe Scarborough was laughing his a$$ off at that one.

I'll take reality myself even if it is ugly sometimes at least Trump wants to address them. The DNC to me was like watching a Holy Roller Revival while sugar coating the problems of our nation.

I know right, especially with Trump being a billionaire. I'm pretty sure most his circle of friends and kids live in well gated or well protected homes.

The DNC had Boyz II Men. The rest of it stunk because it was reactive not proactive. C-SPAN wins for coverage.

Very poignant!


Oh...the conventions? Ugh. Felt for Bernie. Only sensible voice in that crowd. Hope Romney's (who?) rumored support for Johnson will get him to 15% and he can be a voice of reason during the debates. Can you imagine two or three hours of loudmouth and big a$$ haranguing with each other? That is more than anyone should have to listen to.
"three hours of loudmouth and big a$$ haranguing "

Based on your choice of words, I don't tink you would understand what they were talking about anyway

" That is more than anyone should have to listen to"

Who is holding a gun to your head to make you listen?

Joe Scarborough was swooning about the DNC this morning. Said it was the best Dem convention in 20 years and pretty much said that it made the RNC look pathetic. Thought it was Reaganesque, patriotic, optimistic and that the GOP has fallen short.

Also commented on that line about baiting him with a tweet, and then Trump turned around started tweeting and made himself look worse but made Hillary right. I think Joe and Mika are over Trump. They are starting to be concerned about foreign affairs being conducted by amateur Trump. The election is getting serious and real now, so Trump is more of an embarrassment to the GOP.
