It is pretty sad when you have a party that is spending the

[avebury]

convention attacking Hillary, promoting hatred and fear and not making a much of an effort to sell their own candidate as the right person for the job. Why on earth would people vote for such a negative spouting party? They are so draining.

Edit to add: There is a total lack of substance.

1. they cannot pimp their own candidate or promote their ideas

that's why they suppress voting and steal elections

[avebury]

5. Their biggest problem - they have no ideas.

You cannot promote what you don't have.

[Skittles]

7. oh they have ideas

about god, guns and gays, the usual

[avebury]

10. OK they do have ideas - from the ages.

However they have yet to reach the 21st Century.

[AgadorSparticus]

2. They suck and they know they suck. That's why they would rather talk about Hillary.

[StraightRazor]

3. That is such an excellent point...

They got nothin'.

[Glassunion]

4. Because they are pandering to the lowest common denominator.

The message is you're with us or fuck you!

If an idiot with two brain cells to rub together can understand that, then they have achieved their goal.

6. It's a convention of bullshit

And they actually believe it.
And yes, they do not have a single good reason for Trump.
There is something seriously wrong with Republicans.
They are mentally ill in some way. They fear. They hate.
They believe the most unbelievable bullshit and
are so easily manipulated by their 'leaders'.
Crap.

8. the reality is that elections are mostly a referendum on the incumbent party anyway.

people who hate obama would vote for ebola over hillary.

they don't really care if trump is better or worse than ebola.

[kentuck]

9. In the end, all that matters to them is that more people hate Hillary than Trump...

Then, they win.

11. They have nothing.

What is trump policy plans. Not platitudes but actual plans? Nothing. They are NOT known. It's a fucking disaster wrapped in a train wreck stuffed in a blaze. Epitome of danger to EVERYONE!
