I suppose that's a short story: sloppy work by the Dems. But that's a great opportunity because if they DID remove Biden's name, the story could be: Dems erase all traces of Biden, blah, blah, blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 15 hours ago, CMRivdogs said: The minister of the church Trump's family attended was Norman Vincent Peale. Peale was the author of the book The Power of Positive Thinking. He was also one of the early national radio and TV evangelists along with Billy Graham, Oral Robert's, Fulton Sheen, etc. What Trump learned from Peale was "believe in yourself" which I believe Trump translated to Me First. That is his true faith, The Church of Trump. Norman Vincent Peale ran what snake-handling evangelicals would call a “cult”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 12 hours ago, CMRivdogs said: This alone should be disqualifying for Trump Tweet buried the lede here: song goes, “make the ballots fake on Election Day; no matter who votes, counts on the take …” Basically, the vote’s going to be fake no matter what. To be a Trump voter is to have zero faith in the electoral process, and if you don’t win power by the vote, what does that leave as the only way to win power?

Motor City Sonics Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) The Democratic Convention is like Delta House throwing a great kegger The Republican convention was in the dark with the leaders wearing robes with hoods, swatting their faithful who kept saying "Thank you, sir, may I have another".

RatkoVarda Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 B+ grade for DNC Day 1. Some clunkers. But no huge gaffs. Not sure there is a bump to be gotten from the convention considering Harris' recent surge. But if next week she is holding steady +1 to +4, that's fine.

That is what democracy is all about. But these are not normal times. We are in an existential crisis, democracy is on the brink, and that being the case there is only one way I can vote: for democracy. And democracy is being upheld by only one candidate, which is why I will cast my vote for Kamala Harris for President of the United States."

ben9753 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Nothing wrong with that. You can be in AOC's court and vote for Harris. You can be a conservative like Kinzinger and vote for Harris. There's no wide net like that being cast on the other side. You're either a Trump sycophant or you're not invited to the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 As I often quote PJ O Rourke in 2016 "I think Hillary Clinton is wrong on everything. But she's wrong within normal parameters" Most of the time politics can be worked out in a middle groud but I think Obama's election did away with that. It also started with Gingrich on a smaller scale but Clinton outsmarted them. But they never forgot. The point of congress after his election became denying the oppostion party's re-election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
