Democratic National Convention days 3 and 4 **live commentary thread**

[ag]

Hard to see what they have planned for tomorrow. After tonight almost anything else would be an anti-climax. What is the schedule?

[ag]

So, what is the schedule for tomorrow?

[ag]

So, what is the schedule for tomorrow?

Chelsea and Queen Hillary.

Can't be just the two of them. Anything else of interest?

I would be really great if they could get some prominent "nevertrumper". Especially, if it were a serious surprize.

[ag]

It was a decent speech. However the Democratic Party needs to embrace ALL Americans, not just their base groups.

Why? US has a two-party system for a reason.

[ag]

When's Tim Kaine speaking?

He spoke today.

[ag]

What about our white Christian friends?

Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust, Crusades, Oklahoma City

1. The First Crusade was launched in self-defense.

Aside from this being a fairly interesting interpretation, what about the Fourth Cruzade and sacking of Constantinople? Christians did there a much more thorough murder and rape job than Turks did 250 years later.

The inhumane barbarian murderous ideology of Christianity has a long and varied history If you want to go down that line of argument, there is no end to atrocities I can put on the followers of that itinerant preacher from Galilee And, with the possible exception of quakers, I doubt I would find many branches of Christianity that did not partake in the blood feast.

I mean, I am Jewish. Christians have spent millennia killing us. Do not think we forget.

Once again. If you are going to build straw men, I am going to set them no fire.

[ag]

Not nearly as exciting as yesterday.

[ag]

The atmosphere in the convention hall tonight is frenzied, wow

They somehow manage to do this without big-time speakers - key difference compared to yesterday.

[ag]

Can't this hurt Democrats?

If it does, things are very sad indeed.

[ag]

Can't this hurt Democrats?

Only among those who are already behind Trump.

It could hurt with swing Jewish voters, swing Latino and black voters.

No.

[ag]

The douche yelling "encore" needs to shut up. They have a schedule.

You know where else has stage-managed audience involvement in performances and "card stunts?" The wonderful nation of North Korea!

Acting like a jealous heifer is never a good look. You've chosen hate and division, but we've chosen unity.

Yeah, that is why you guys booed every mention of Hillary's name and the guy who led the effort to kill Osama right?

Don't you have some peeps to be tweeting Anthony Weiner?

Incoherent. Are you drunk?

[ag]

I just love how thin some of your guys skin is; how do you move your arms? Does the bone not break through? If you can't handle me, how are you gonna handle SNL or Howard Stern? Sheesh!

"Handling you?" That is a disturbing image...

Then why am I winning?

Only in a dream. A sweet dream of victory. Please, do not wake up. It would be so hard to bear your disappointment.

[ag]

Are you so upset with me that I'm critiquing the convention that you are literally wishing me death?

No. Just an alcoholic stupor

And not because I am upset - I am not But because I think it is the natural state you are converging to. And I like when things are natural

The common word for "please do not wake up" is death.

Well, I do not like hackneyed usages

[ag]

I wish you all could see my grin right now.

Is it demented like Ags or dopey like InvisbleObamas?

Relax. Smile. Read some poetry. Life is fun

[ag]

We need more about reforming Islam.

Which version of it?

[ag]

We need more about reforming Islam.

Which version of it?

The nutty version.

You mean, the Leninist shi'a?

[ag]

We need more about reforming Islam.

Which version of it?

The nutty version.

It's not her place.

I mean, that gentleman thinks she is running for a Muslim Pope, or something.

[ag]

Wow, did anyone hear all that booing when she accepted the nomination? This convention is a disaster.

I heard it, but to be fair, it was the absolute chaos day one when they couldn't even mention her name.

Remember this after they pulled every trick in the book in the following week to ensure a smooth convention and half the convention was still booing.

The 3.5 Bernie-o-buster listening for that in some cabin in Vermont are rejoicing.

[ag]

Wow, did anyone hear all that booing when she accepted the nomination? This convention is a disaster.

Haha, no

I think you would have to be either lying or deaf to say that. Rewind and watch it again. She paused for a good half-full minute as people were booing. It's not even like you had listen closely to hear all the booing.

You could literally hear nothing unless you were listening very closely. I think you're projecting.

I heard it as clear as day.

You were going to give the speech an F regardless.

I'd give this speech an F- if I had a choice for that. But I openly admit that I despise both Crooked Clintons for the fake lying opportunists that they are. Way more than Obama and Carter (who are two misguided ideological liberals.

Well, of course, as a straightforward America-hating fascist, you despise all good patriotic Americans. We knew that.

Well that basically confirms people were booing. Thanks CC!

If you guys want to cling to that moment go ahead. The rest of the country could care less.

Well Trump was never booed at his convention. Obama was never booed, Bush was never booed, Bill Clinton, HW Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, I can go on.

On the contrary, you were the one clinging to denying something that was extremly obvious.

It's good we have a master political analyst like you, who can determine Hillary is doomed months in advance because some people booed and were thrown out. What a gift that must be.

I'm sorry for the confusion but the final sentence was addressed towards the people who were denying in the first place that people were booing.

What you seem not to understand that nobody cares

[ag]

RIP Trump/Pence

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We've still got 3+ months left.

Exactly, Democrats are going to have to work our butts off.

Most definitely so.
