And giving Putin 20% of our uranium stash, in return for $2.35M, to the Clinton Crime Family Fund is good for national security.
Oy vey.

That's not an evangelist! That's a Used Car Salesman. He could sell crap (excrement) to a fellow Democrat and they would feel they got a bargain.
And that gullible audience was eating it up. I'm sure there were many gullible morons at home also listening.

I think folks get too worked up one way or the other and the media causes a lot of it.
26 million tuned in to the Convention Monday night. There are approximately 242 million adults and 129 million voted in 2012 - about 2 million less than 2008.
In short, about 10.7% of the total population tuned in; if you figure it on the basis of VOTERS (per 2012) then it's about 20.2%. The percentage might be a little higher since I SUSPECT the voting total will drop this year, possibly dramatically. (Clinton's easy re-election drew 8 million fewer voters than 1992 despite an awesome economy, peace at home, and alleged vicious anger at his opponent for being a soldier in the Republican Revolution). And despite the fact that it was certainly POSSIBLE that the Democrats could have taken back BOTH houses that year.
Then you have to remember that for the most part the people who tune in party conventions are the folks who are already partisan anyway......I've not watched a Convention speech since (junior) Bush's nomination (August 3, 2000). In fact, I've only watched maybe....MAYBE.....five Convention speeches in my lifetime. As Elizabeth Drew observed in 1988, these speeches mean nothing in the larger picture. The candidate has months to prepare the speech, goes through hours of rehearsal.....and has the most sympathetic audience he (or she) will ever have.
Conventions don't make or destroy candidacies anymore.
And despite all the hub-bub we're going to hear later, neither do debates. The guy with the worst debate performance in American history might have been no Jack Kennedy......but he won the race by a whole lot more than JFK did.

This is why the Bernie-bros are ticked off - they thought (and I admit, I did too, for a little bit) that Bernie was a different animal, not your typical politician, but...

Dear Bernie Bros: Welcome to reality. Bernie isn't a sell out, he just understands the stakes and the options.This is why the Bernie-bros are ticked off - they thought (and I admit, I did too, for a little bit) that Bernie was a different animal, not your typical politician, but...
Yep, he's just a normal politician. I think that's the part that has them so wound up - they believed he was different.
Toma[y]to, toma[h]to.
Either you truly believe what you spew or you don't. If he truly believed - as he stated - a couple months ago that she wasn't fit to be president then he would still believe that today.
It's just that now, since Hillary has won the nomination, it's best for the party for him to endorse her.
All that means is that he has a good reason for selling out; he's still selling out.
Unless, of course, he was lying about his true feelings towards Hillary throughout the entire campaign.
Which is worse?

Just another POLITICIAN! Which is it Bernie? You were a spineless wimp! Man, stand up for what you believe!This is why the Bernie-bros are ticked off - they thought (and I admit, I did too, for a little bit) that Bernie was a different animal, not your typical politician, but...
Based on HER ideas and leadership, all our kids and grandkids will become better LIARS with HER leading our country!
If she is elected, I honestly hope that I croak before she takes office! I just can't take the lying, corruption, and cackling!!!!!!!
To the ignoroids.............you are the ones who need the tin foil hats:
