Discussion: Political Pros Dissect Why The Trump Convention Has Been A Disaster So Far

This can’t be said enough. The Democrats aren’t looking to disabuse Trump voters of their stupid, it’s impossible. The goal is to hold and grow the Obama coalition to include disaffected Republicans and 3rd party voters who realize this isn’t the election to vote on principle.Doing that will result in a Clinton landslide, a decent majority in the Senate, and it may just wrest away the House.

Quite often an abortion is for the health of the mother, this convention is more like a miscarriage, but if you don’t know the difference you shouldn’t be posting this just for sport.

Some people would rather burn their crops than give them to the starving. And many of them have the nerve to call themselves Christians. That’s not hopelessness. It’s sinful.

What I want is to see Hillary Clinton get the bump from Trump’s convention =) It’s being discussed as a definite possibility!

The question is not ‘Is Hillary going to win?’ The question is ‘by how much?’

He could even show up with Julia Roberts (whom I don’t like) and I wouldn’t mind. There’s not much info on the speaker line up but there will time devoted to the mothers of the young black people who died needlessly over the last few years

Tuesday will feature the roll call vote and how Hillary has spent her entire career working to make a difference for children, families, and our country. The Mothers of the Movement participating include Gwen Carr, Mother of Eric Garner; Sybrina Fulton, Mother of Trayvon Martin; Maria Hamilton, Mother of Dontré Hamilton; Lucia McBath, Mother of Jordan Davis; Lezley McSpadden, Mother of Michael Brown; Cleopatra Pendleton-Cowley, Mother of Hadiya Pendleton; Geneva Reed-Veal, Mother of Sandra Bland.
