How about fuming laboratory reagent grade fail that requires goggles, a rubber apron, and a hazmat sticker when shipped.

I’m with you. Remember when GW Bush finally got into the White House and the Clinton and Gore team trashed the offices and took the W’s of the keyboards and stupid stuff like that? This crowd seems more dangerous and I think they will stop at nothing to remain. They took GOD out what the heck I am in shock and very sad.
I am praying for our country too!

I can’t say I have watched the conventions since the 60’s. I was old enough to, but really didn’t get interested until the 70’s.

I think the Dems have forgotten there is an alternate media and not everything they say will be taken at face value any longer. The MSM will still carry their water..but at risk of losing ratings they might bail.

The unimformed base voter will stay on board.

If I were the Dems...and the Pubs..I would drop these dog and pony shows like a hot potato. They are very expensive and nobody really watches. (I watched very little of either and I am a political junkie.) These people are over exposed on everyday tv and radio. The conventions are outdated and give the media on both sides areas to attack.

I was hoping they would fill the rafters with 20,000 Monica Lewinsky purses. Imagine the joy of the crowd as those came falling down!

And this man in our President. I actually felt sorry for this guy.He didn't have a thing to hang his hat on, and yet was supposed to bring hope and encouragement to this convention. I think I want my money back

I was mad as heck at the time about that. Looking back now, it seems almost harmless compared to how low the dems have continued to stoop since.

“Go balloons! Go Balloons! ... Where are the #%$&ing balloons??? ... Go on balloons, damnit!”

Eight years ago but it feels like yesterday!

“I thought Barry had a look of desperation in his eyes.”

He did, and having Biden out there to plead for white & Catholic votes shouldn’t save him.

I call it the Bread and Circuses convention so clowns fit.

There was something different about him. Someone said to me (I don’t endorse this view or have an opinion on way or the other on it) that he saw signs that Barry had been smoking pot before the speech.

There was definitely something different about him.

I refused to watch or listen to the pathetic show but after reading your succinct account I think I should have just for the entertainment. :-)

No balloons, just clowns.

Speaking of balloons, I saw something the other day that any convention that had problems with their balloon drop lost the ekection. HMMMMMMMMMM... None at all must mean 0 is going to lose BIG TIME.
