The MSM is playing this down, of course, so that the sheep can sleep through the scandal.

Many of the sheep are focusing on the actual scandal that Russian intelligence services are aiding Trump.

I thought nothing could outstand the joke convention last week.

Boy was I wrong.

I saw an interview today...probably recorded over the weekend...Clinton mentioned the chaos of the GOP conference and said the DNC conference wouldn't be like that. :lol:

Nothing like it at all, far more amusing.

Why is Cory Booker never on the ticket?
(I am assuming his alleged sexuality is not an issue these days for the democrats, or is that an issue)

No, he's beloved by the Dems. He's still paying his dues though.

Sounds pretty mild comparatively.

There really wasn't much else Bernie could do to convince his supporters to get behind Clinton. It was a great speech. But Michelle Obama stole the night. I don't agree with all of Barack Obama's politics, but the Obamas have been great for the country and have served with grace, humility and dignity. I'll miss them come January.

Grace and dignity in the face of constant racism. I will miss them too. Michelle could probably run for Pres and win...but no way they would want to suffer the indignities directed at them for another 8 years.

Oh gosh...Bernie fed the beast during the primaries..the constant telling his supporters the election was being stolen from him and...boom...the beast has come back to bite him when asks them to unite in support of Clinton and prevent a Trump presidency. Booed by his own supporters. Feed the beast..pay the price. He nay be the cause of Trump winning.

No he won't. 90% of his supporters already say they'll vote for Hillary. If Hillary loses it will be because she didn't win independents.

I was bemused at the illegal status speakers they rolled out to speak. Makes me wonder if you will even need a visa to enter the US to work and live if Clinton gets in. Bit of a stab in the eye for all those who jumped thru hoops to get the correct papers for entry :@(

That's what I didn't understand. Clinton is pandering to the minority groups as usual. She will do absolutely anything to get back into the White House.

What does it matter?

Does seem very odd, but if it gets her votes that seems all that matters.
