46440. vonKreedon - 7/21/2016 7:24:30 PM This campaign, specifically the Repub campaign, has disillusioned Ace to the point he may quit blogging!
"I think it's time for me to announce that I'm looking to make my exit from the blog and politics as soon as I can arrange it. I can't take the stupidity, the juvenile hero worship, the backbiting, the groupthink enforced by bullies and dummies any more." 46441. arkymalarky - 7/21/2016 8:46:51 PM I can so relate to that Judith. I'm a little concerned that Ace sounds sane in that quote from vk. We were in the truck stop, and a guy was cussing, f-bombs included, about how Trump had treated Cruz. He said, and I quote, I voted for Hillary, but I hate that guy. Talking about Trump. 46442. arkymalarky - 7/22/2016 12:24:07 AM Just noticed A mistake. The guy said he wasn't voting for Hillary 46443. arkymalarky - 7/22/2016 12:24:07 AM Just noticed A mistake.

Understandable, but disappointing.
46447. judithathome - 7/23/2016 9:41:12 PM Really? I thought the intro speech today was great...that man has a sense of humor and is very accomplished...the fact he speaks Spanish is an asset and it showed in this rollout...at the very least he spoke for HIMSELF, with wit and intelligence...unlike the Edgar-Bergan-like speech Trump gave when introducing Pence...whom, after Trump's usual agrandizing of himself, finally said, in effect: "Oh yeah...here's my guy...Mile Pence" and left the stage to this man who, in off-camera time, never smiles.
Then Trump, during a 60 Minutes interview, not only over-talked Pence but almost ignored him altogether.
Face it, the VP choices of the two parties are not even close...Trump has chosen a dour man who, evidently, has no choice but to sit back and let Trump define him and Hillary has chosen a man who defines himself. Very well...I might add.
46448. judithathome - 7/23/2016 9:42:16 PM Mile Pence...sorry, MIKE Pence. 46449. vonKreedon - 7/23/2016 11:50:06 PM I, and many/most Bernie supporters, would have loved a more progressive nominee, Tom Perez or Corey Booker for instance. Alot of Bernie supporters wanted Warren, but not me; I want her in the Senate raising cain. 46450. wabbit - 7/24/2016 12:22:03 PM Agree about Warren, I hope she stays in Congress for a long time. 46451. arkymalarky - 7/24/2016 6:14:48 PM I'm happy with think we'll see more the degree of Sander'sinfluence in her cabinet choices. The vp is for election purposes more than governing purposes, but Kaine I'd good for both with his experience, and I think he will do well with Congress. 46452. arkymalarky - 7/25/2016 2:22:22 PM Glad dws is out 46453. arkymalarky - 7/26/2016 3:35:56 AM Dem convention is great so far! 46454. judithathome - 7/26/2016 1:05:02 PM Well, a lot of BernieBots behaved like idiots...interviews with a couple of delegates afterward...one very young...showed Bernie may have made acolytes of them but he failed to educate them all on the basics.
This young delegate said Bernie was DISSED at this convention by Hillary people in charge of it. Know why? Because he spoke LAST. :-( 46455. vonKreedon - 7/26/2016 5:52:29 PM Day one of the DNC was a tour de force on how to handle divisions. The Dems repeatedly confronted the divisions head on with humor, passion, and reason. At the beginning of the day the boos of the Berners were loud and regular; by the end of the day they were inaudible, such as they were, above the continuous roar in support of the Dem platform and nominee. Really good optics. The speakers, one after the other, were top notch and on point. Really good day. 46456. arkymalarky - 7/27/2016 5:30:58 AM The GOP needs to answer for the danger it has put the world in with their nomination of Donald Trump. Fox coverage of the democratic convention has been pathetic. Sad how desperate they are trying to shift the tone and spin their propaganda. Bill Clinton did great, I've got to say. 46457. arkymalarky - 7/28/2016 5:07:55 AM Best president since FDR. Awesome. 46458. vonKreedon - 7/28/2016 2:41:10 PM The Dem convention has been masterful so far. 46459. judithathome - 7/28/2016 5:22:16 PM How can any Republican be proud of their nominee? Calling for Russia to hack our government? Actully, giving them the okay to do so....and the incentive!
Trump AND his campaign manager Paul Manafort each have business interests in Russia...Trump and his family have been doing business there since 2008 and Manafort has represented clients in business deals for years.
Trump should get in touch with Edward Snowden and ask how he likes the spacious accommodations in Moscow and if there is a walk-up near him that's move-in ready...
