And the RNC Shitshow continues

[Pumpkin Row]

Abolishing funding for our own nation while spending 5 trillion dollars on iraq is just stupid. Your entire party is a national disgrace.

Says the one endorsing a criminal, nominated by his party, unironically.

Your party cleared her with their 9 investigations on any wrong doing in Libya and the fbi cleared her in the emails clusterfuck.

How is she a criminal?

I am voting for her as she won't abolish our national parks, deregulate our economy and will continue to invest in our nation.

Comey Lays His Cards on the Table
I detailed her criminal activity in the email scandal specifically. They also never cleared her for Benghazi, they only said that the report wasn't about her, it was about four dead Americans. Stop watching CNN. My detailed post uses information specifically given to us by the FBI, and I have links to all of the laws. THAT'S how she's a criminal.

Deregulate the economy? How dare anyone plan to let it grow uninhibited by the incompetent people int he white house. Regulation is what's preventing a quick economic recovery.

Hope you're not taking her words at face value, because she has not told a single truth in her political career.

 

[Dragonlady]

Has anyone even heard the MSM mention the Hildebeast?..... Even Trump knows that you keep your name on the people lips, without them whispering about you, your FUCKED at election time!

Republicans can't shut up about her. All they do is regurgitate the same tired Benghazi lies, they've already disproved with their 7 reports.

They're not articulating their vision of America at all. They're just slagging Hillary.

And fighting amongst themselves. Even the Republican Party panelists on CNN are arguing about everything that's happened.

 

[Dragonlady]

I expected the media to be unfairly critical of our convention. From the bits I've seen earlier tonight we're making it too easy for them.

I've been watching political conventions since JFK was nominated. This is the most amateurish production ever. Given the experience Trump has with his resorts and casinos putting on a show and running big events, I was expecting a well run spectacle, not this gaffe ridden family feud.

Tiny dancer, the convention is all about selling your candidate to the people. Presenting his plan and his vision for the country, and its relationship with the world, and why he is the best your party has to offer.

I have yet to see Trump articulate that vision in any kind of realistic or meaningful way.

And the hate and vitriol are turning people off all over the world.

He has, he will build a wall
Renegotiate trade deals to help the US
Destroy Isis
Reduce corporate and income taxes
Reduce regulation, including disbanding the epa and dept of education
Kill common core, add school choice
Repeal obamacare, and allow companies to compete directly
Retool the VA
Spend on.the military.

He has already said he won't build a wall.

Trade deals cannot be cancelled unilaterally and no country would renegotiate. They'd retaliate.

Cutting taxes crashed the stock market and killed 5 million jobs the last time you tried it.

Obamacare cannot simply be repealed without first setting up something to replace it. That ship has sailed.

 

[Mertex]

This is the worst political convention I've ever seen. Do Republican realize how bad they look to anyone watching? There is no unity. The party is more deeply divided than ever and the more I watch this mess, they worse they look. Republican panelists on CNN are fighting amongst themselves over what it all means.

Technical glitches, failure to get music clearances, Melania plagerizing Michelle Obama's speech, the host governor refuses to show up, speeches from every member of Trump's family, but no Republican heavy hitters, past presidents, or every big names from show business. Key Republicans refusing to endorse Trump, and the fear mongering and hate is not appealling in any way.

I would have thought after 7 Republican investigations had cleared Hillary of any wrongdoing or blame in Benghazi that they would have dropped the topic, but instead, they have stupidly doubled down, repeating every one of the discredited lies they've been repeating since the first investigation isssued it's report, and Pence repeated them again tonight.

Worst of all, IMO, is that no one is talking about policy, domestic or foreign. All they're doing is making broad pronouncements about what a great President Trump will be, without saying what a Trump Presidency would actually do, other than Make America Great Again.

We're getting exactly what we expected, a circus. 17 Clowns rolled into town and got destroyed by the "major" clown. Some Republicans thought he was a joke and would disappear, but the base of the Republican party saw themselves in Trump. Trump represents the nasty make-fun-of-handicapped people, hate-blacks, love-guns, claim-to-love-Jesus, plagiarizing hypocrites that are tired of holding back their nastiness.

With Trump they don't have to worry about Political Correctness (what most of us identify as politeness) and can just let their nastiness spew forth!

Personally, I'm waiting for the Dem shit show when their convention rolls around.

And a good time will be had by all. LOL

What's preventing a quick recovery is stagnant wages prevent consumers from consuming. People don't have money to spend, and that's because Republican fiscal policies, begun under Reagan, have sucked all of the wealth of the country away from the low and middle class income voters and given it to the 1%, leaving the working poor dependent on handouts via "earned income credits".

Earned income credits were signed into law by Gerald Ford. Yes they give the working poor money, but what has happened is that large corporations are using it as a wage subsidy. Once EIC's became law, wages for low income people began to stagnant. The working poor and the middle class have been losing ground economically ever since.

Successive Republican administrations have increased EIC's instead of raising the minimum wage. The result has been that all of the wealth and savings from the working class has been depleted and passed on to the rich, and you are now transferring middle class wealth to the top 1%

At this point, each taxpayer in America is paying out $4,000 per year to fund these corporate wage subsidies for some of the most profitable companies in North America, while Republicans distract the weak minded like you with screeds against the poor and the "free stuff". But instead of making companies pay their own employees, Republicans have blocked increases to the minimum wage, and lied to you by telling you it will cause unemployment to do so.

The recovery was sluggish because nearly half of your population can't afford to buy anything anymore. Increasing their income and buying power would help the economy immensely. The last time the minimum wage was raised (under Clinton), unemployment went down and prices didn't go up.

Republicans don't have a clue economically.

Double down is their only strategy at this point and they've effectively doubled themselves down into a corner.

 

[Dragonlady]

I was obvious during the campaign that the party was divided, but the constant bickering of the delegates and officials, the refusal to support the candidate by so many, shows a party in complete disarray. The party can't even run a convention and articulate their program, how can they hope to run the country?

 

[Pumpkin Row]

What's preventing a quick recovery is stagnant wages prevent consumers from consuming. People don't have money to spend, and that's because Republican fiscal policies, begun under Reagan, have sucked all of the wealth of the country away from the low and middle class income voters and given it to the 1%, leaving the working poor dependent on handouts via "earned income credits".

Businesses pay their employees enough money for them to be able to buy from them, otherwise they don't have a consumer base. Your argument is invalid.

Earned income credits were signed into law by Gerald Ford. Yes they give the working poor money, but what has happened is that large corporations are using it as a wage subsidy. Once EIC's became law, wages for low income people began to stagnant. The working poor and the middle class have been losing ground economically ever since.

Bogus, people don't know how to save, they don't go to college to move up, and they are lazy. What Liberals are demanding is that people be able to make a career out of a job at Burger King.

Successive Republican administrations have increased EIC's instead of raising the minimum wage. The result has been that all of the wealth and savings from the working class has been depleted and passed on to the rich, and you are now transferring middle class wealth to the top 1%

Raising the minimum wage would just increase the cost of living. California is proof of that, with the highest cost of living in the entire United States.

At this point, each taxpayer in America is paying out $4,000 per year to fund these corporate wage subsidies for some of the most profitable companies in North America, while Republicans distract the weak minded like you with screeds against the poor and the "free stuff". But instead of making companies pay their own employees, Republicans have blocked increases to the minimum wage, and lied to you by telling you it will cause unemployment to do so.

Totally, totally, the businesses would do absolutely nothing about the increased payment outside of their budget. Then again, if Democrats knew anything about economics, they wouldn't be Democrats. Your current failure of a president is actually proof that increased cost to businesses slows economic growth. He's taxing them per employee for his failure of a health care plan, and as a result, unemployment is in roughly the same place it was when he took office.
The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
Companies naturally pay their employees a 'living wage' so that their business isn't slowed.

The recovery was sluggish because nearly half of your population can't afford to buy anything anymore. Increasing their income and buying power would help the economy immensely. The last time the minimum wage was raised (under Clinton), unemployment went down and prices didn't go up.

Republicans don't have a clue economically.

Again, bogus. Raising the minimum wage would only invalidate the raises that employees have gotten during their time at work. Only 3% of the population even makes minimum wage, because businesses are trying to pay them enough for them to be able to buy things, and expand the economy. The Democrats taxing the goodness out of businesses and trying to force them to pay employees more is only hindering that growth.

As a democrat who has supported Trump, I feel ..yes, still some old pickles not wanting to support their party because they are pissed...


But I also see the party slowly bringing its base inward...

I almost feel that Trump is adopting many of far right views, which will turn off the lefts like me.

Many people are like me watching / waiting to see his plans now that he is the nominee.

Worst Convention Ever? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Thanks to the insane Hillary-voting Liberals throwing urine at each other and setting themselves on fire while trying to burn the American flag this is one of the BEST EVER! I can't wait to see what the dumbasses do today!

Relations are better now that we have a Liberal Prime Minister and a Democrat for a President. It won't be if you elect Trump, just like it wasn't when Bush was in power.

Canadians are hardly America's yes man. We refused to go into Iraq, but we did go to Afghanistan. We refused to give up our single payer health system to get into NAFTA, or let two-tier, American style health care into Canada.

I'm hoping that Trudeau will re-activate the Foreign Investment Review Board to keep American companies from buying up Canadian companies. I cannot tell you how wrong it is on every level that the Hudson's Bay Company is now owned by Americans.

Ok, Canada does what we need them.to, because we are your military.....

But keep thinking like that, itd cute and quaint

But Reagan and money had a great relationship......

And once we trash nafta....finally

 

[Vandalshandle]

This is worse than the 1968 democratic convention.

As near as I can tell the following points have been made:
Trumps family likes him.
No one of any importance in the GOP supports him, or even wants to be seen with him.
An underwear model believes the Obama is a muslim.
Trump's wet dream of being worshipped by his supporters has finally come true, reinforcing his narcissistic personality disorder.
Republicans can't stand each other.

And, like with the democratic convention of 1968, the inevitable has been kick started. I am sure that whatever he says tonight will just make it worse.

I know most right-wingers are hoping that the DNC will top the circus the RNC put on for us last week, but they will be disappointed. You won't hear any plagiarized speeches....the speakers at the DNC are well educated and eloquent....they don't need to resort to stealing other people's phrases. Hillary is well supported by those in high office....unlike Trump....who had guest speakers who couldn't bring themselves to utter his name!
