Re: RNC Open Thread
I dunno.
Tossing in the Prince of Darkness is setting the bar pretty high.
I generally draw a line on insults at Mussolini.
Democrats are going have a hard time being this funny.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: RNC Open Thread
I caught bits and pieces of Day 2. From what I saw and heard, it looked like a "We Hate Hillary Fest" more than anything else. Ok, I get that, now how about telling us why your guy is a swell candidate for President of the United States.
I mean can you run an entire campaign by convincing us to hate the other guy so you need to vote my guy?

Guess when there is nothing really of substance that is all they are left with !

Re: RNC Open Thread
Yea, there's not really much going on in the country, or world these days for republicans to plan for, so they might as well trash Hillary

Worked for Obama in 2012.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Re: RNC Open Thread
I don't recall seeing or hearing the viciousness in Obama's campaigns like we're subjected to in the RNC convention. Yes, there was all the nonsense over his birth and hatred that evolved around his race, but nothing as severe as what came out of speeches last night and will continue tonight with Cruz as one of the speakers. This vicious attack on Hilliary is all any of the speakers rant on about. There's little ever said about why their candidate will make a great president even though none of it would be true. They have determined this convention is all about slandering Hilliary Clinton and nothing else.

Re: RNC Open Thread
Thanks to CREDO for the following: This RNC right-wing gathering of racist pariahs lost money donations for campaigns and the convention because the following corporations withdrew all support. Coca Cola; Microsoft; Apple; Wells Fargo; G. E.; UPS; Motorola; JPMorgan Chase; Ford and others. The RNC went begging for cash from extreme right-wing, republican billionaire Sheldon Adelson to make up the 6M fund raising money this fall.

Re: RNC Open Thread
Yea, a touching immigration story of a glamorous model jet setting her way to America.
My grandparents lived it up in steerage of a stinking old ship.
So, yea, I feel a real connection.
LOLI seriously do sorta feel bad for Melania though. Because the Trump campaign is essentially a disorganized mess that allowed this to happen, she's going to get this undeserved blowback from the media.
From recent reports her college degree that is claimed on her BIO is also a falsehood.

Re: RNC Open Thread
Determining if one has a college degree or not should be easy to do, correct? There's a difference between attending a school and actually earning a degree.
