Debbie Downer
It's getting good now. Let's watch this shit-show swirl down the toilet bowl, shall we. And they're trying to blame it on Russia. LOL!!!! You can't make this stuff up.

Re: Debbie Downer
Things could get interesting at the Dem convention. Bernie doesn't seem to upset about it, but it appears some of his supporters didn't take the news very well.

The ball is now in Trump's court. This is 'yuuuuge!' If he can't play this into an election victory, I don't know what could help him?

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

Re: Debbie Downer
Looks like Schultz is leaving, and Bernie is cool..
I don't think that the blood bath that some are praying for is going to happen.

I don't either, BUT some of the Sanders supporters that were on the fence will likely defect.

Re: Debbie Downer
The fly in the ointment for Trump lovers in all this hub-bub is that Bernie NO WAY wants Trump to win.

Re: Debbie Downer
To hell with this election and the DNC.
For months we hear about how Trump is a racist and a bigot (and by all accounts he is) and that his campaign is based on dividing us by race and religion. To avoid all of this, we must turn to the pious and ethical, and progressive Democrats, who are free of that sort of thing.
Then you get this:
A top staffer at the Democratic National Committee has apologized after suggesting that the organization use Bernie Sanders’ religious beliefs against him in the Democratic primary.
One email among the thousands of internal DNC messages released this week by Wikileaks showed DNC CFO Brad Marshall questioning Sanders’ Jewish faith, and suggested that painting the candidate as an atheist “could make several points difference” in several late primary contests.
“It might may (sic) no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist,” Marshall wrote in a message to several DNC communications directors.
There are no good players in this whole thing.
On one side, you have a candidate who is possibly insane. On the other, you have a candidate who lacks integrity, and frankly straight up lied to the American people repeatedly in the last 12 months.
There is no honesty or honor in this race.
To hell with all of them.
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: Debbie Downer
Whoa Nellie!
Let's not toss the baby out with the bathwater, and chuck the future over an email from some schmuck at the DNC.
Take a deep breath and imagine the dismantling of the most successful defensive alliance in history, banning people from the country based on a religion test,,,,,, I could go on.
I guess that my priorities, and expectations are different. I never believed that, well anybody, was clean in all this mess. I want things done, and was never expecting to run into Mother Theresa in this campaign.
Or any campaign.
A contest of character this year is a waste of time. Sure, I find Trump's racism and misogyny offensive, and Hillary's character suspect. But, the real issue is that Trump doesn't know anything, his policy positions - on the rare occasions when he actually has one- are hopelessly misguided and simplistic, and oh yeah, he's crazy.
My biggest disappointment is with the American people. The people screaming about Hillary Clinton lying ignore the fact that their candidate, Mr. Trump, has a relationship with the truth that can only be described as casual.
Let's stop pretending that this race is about character. If Jesus Christ himself ran as a progressive Democrat Donald Trump would still be polling in the 40s. Think about it. I believe Lager, that you are sincere with your concerns. And I think it's very good of you to be concerned. But one would have to suggest that you don't have a lot of company in modern America
