Members JaneAusten Posted July 27, 2016 Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't think it's a shock to see higher ratings. And lets be honest people, while the small outliers of the Bernie or Bust group are still having a temper tantrum for the most part, it's been handled and has been a non factor. And weren't a lot of the conventions of old, where the candidate wasn't in some cases decided until the actual convention, chaotic. I actually don't think covering them and giving them attention is a bad thing. It shows that people can disagree and protest in a productive way. Most of the Bernie supporters are on board because they know they got a lot accomplished, got much of the platform changed, and if they stick with their "movement" will likely continue to build and be key players going forward. The small percentage of protesters IMO have been a non factor. Fortunately the convention has had enough starpower and powerful speeches and moments to overshadow it IMO. Ratings? Who did the RNC have? Many prominent republicans didn't show up, hell John Kasich the Governor of Ohio was even in Cleveland and refused to attend. I doubt Scott Baio, Rudy Gulianni, and Duck Dynasty are a bigger draw than the POTUS, FLOTUS, 2 former POTUS's(Carter appeared last night on remote), and the sitting VP plus A class celebs(Meryl Streep last night too). 2 former Republican presidents were MIA at their convention. What does that tell you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted July 27, 2016 Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 Last night I said on Twitter that Meryl Streep trumps Kimberlin Brown and some crazy fan with a picture of Sheila attacking Stephanie sent me an angry tweet. Lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted July 27, 2016 Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 UGH. This idiot is endorsing Trumps comments about Russia? Unreal. Dr. Jill Stein @DrJillStein Maybe if Bill Clinton hadn't had Larry Summers destroy Russia's economy & turn democracy to oligarchy, US-Russia relations would be better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 27, 2016 Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 Grima Wormtongue Mark Halperin, whose new Showtime documentary series The Circus hinges on access and friendship with the Trump campaign, struggles to save him from the Russia press conference debacle today and fails miserably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 Amazingly, Bloomberg actually topped Biden in terms of hitting at Trump. Barn-burner. Here's Kaine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I thought so too. He and Bill both gave really good speeches. Here's what my favorite Republican said about Bloomberg: @ananavarro 32m32 minutes ago Bloomberg giving master cooking class at DNC. He's cutting, dicing, slicing, cubing, mashing and frying Trump. And making soup w/the bones. Edited July 28, 2016 by Juliajms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 Kaine was a huge dork, but sweet and likable. He won the crowd with that goofy Trump impression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 What can anyone say about that dress? Speechless. Obama's speech was brilliant. Too tired to say much more now, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted July 28, 2016 Members Share Posted July 28, 2016 What a magnificence speech by the President. My heart is so heavy. I'm glad he's made it so far and is one piece and absolutely so proud of him. But it's finally hitting me that he will be leaving the White House soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
