The best battle plan rarely survives first contact with the enemy
The Convention will be gaveled to order at 4 PM Eastern Time. That start time was pushed back because of the need for unexpected meetings. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has resigned as DNC chairman and chairman of the convention the day before the convention. Different versions say she will resign before or after the convention. Things are in flux. Donna Brazile may be the interim DNC chairman, but I’m not sure that will stick.
The Wikileaks email story has us Bernie supporters all fired up. The fix was in from before the first vote was cast (shocking!). That plan freed up a lot of Democratic voters to vote for Donald Trump in the Republican primaries with open contests.
The Bernie supporters are in Philadelphia, and about 1/3 of the delegates are Bernie’s people. You can count on them not keeping quiet. We really hate the Clintons with a passion. This convention will make 1968 one in Chicago look like a Sunday afternoon picnic. The fruits of Operation Chaos are ripe.
BTW fracking sucks!
(If you’re confused, I understand)
Feel the Bern!
Off to a good start!
Bernie’s supporters booed Bernie when he said to
Vote for Hillary
Well, the appointment of convention officers was lots of nay votes, the protests have started
When you look in the mirror, if you see a black Hispanic lesbian with dyslexia who works for the TSA, Hillary is your man!
Anyone care about day 2? The stain master speaks tonight
My better half wanted to watch the first night for ‘infotainment’. I lost count of the number of propaganda techniques being utilized after the first hour.
No American flags visible on the stage. Yes, the Jumbotron showed a stylized partial flag at one point, but the stars were x’s and the stripes were… ribbons?
It seems Monday was rainbow black night. So, is tonight Hispanic night?
The official business is the roll call vote of the states. Bernie wound up with a bit over 1,800 delegates, about 500 short
In a truly democratic vote count, he’d be in a dead heat. Jim Webb dropped out a bit early, he knew the Clinton machinery, DNC, and media would steamroll anyone.
IMO, Bernie was put out as a both a ‘trial balloon’ and to provide the appearance of ‘choice’ (the irony)… after all, they needed -someone- to sacrifice on the alter of shills.
The DNC’s problem was, half the party was leaning to “anyone but Hillary” and suddenly the shill became ‘a contender’, so under the bus goes Wasserman-Schultz.
Rumblings that Bernie may agree to nomination by acclimation, rather than roll call vote – however, I’m not sure Bernie can control his people
Looks like you called it… I DO hope they harass the DNC establishment/media.
Bernie just UN-Democratted himself. Someone needs to convince him to run with Jill Stein on the Green Party ticket
Just turned on the ‘show’ for night #4… I see someone at DNC got the memo, now there are a conspicuous number of over-sized flags throughout the arena.
Perhaps DNC is paying a $100 bonus for flag-waving Craigslist actors?
They swiped them from city hall
I watched about 30 seconds of it. I was thinking of creating a poll of “Is Donald Trump a bully?”
I don’t know – when Hillary bragged about killing the leader of a sovereign nation, was she being a bully?
I didn’t watch. Were they the Mexican flags that Democrats use to protest outside Trump rallies?
No, just Demokrats with Amerikan flags… the obnoxious size typically seen at World Cup matches. No Mexikan flags, as they were probably verboten to avoid a faux pas.
German and French in a single comment – well done! We are the world.
Sayōnara on the oreign-fay anguages-lay.
“Together, we are the world.”
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Toys are us.
