2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBravenak's Republican National KKKonvention Live Blog- day three- just shoot me please
So last night we had the illustrious Doctor Ben Carson regale us with tales of the Devil while looking heavily medicated. We had Crispy Cream boy hold a mock proscecution with the crowd screaming 'lock her up' like a bunch of maniacs. We had Tiffany Trump sounding very rich and DT Jr gave a rousing speech that his speech writer plagiarised from his own self. Not an original thought in the entire venue.
So here we go. The Crypt Keeper is on stage, Rick Scott looks like Voldemort.

I couldn't watch much by myself last night. Tonight I watched with a buddy. We made comments throughout Pence's speech. Our comments are unprintable here but they were funny as hell.

(6,444 posts)Just horrible! Makes me shudder. Knew all along Trump was bad news but for delegates & surrogates to act in national tv like this with no care just spewing HATE!
Thanks for watching & posting again. I did first night and quit! We ought to give you some reporting medal from the trenches!
Sending you love & peace vibes ....

lovemydog
(11,833 posts)I'm going to start a list of stuff the crowd would yell if a speaker started leading a chant.
'Deport the Muslims!'
'Starve the Poor!'
'Kill the Fags!'
'Execute Liberals!'
They don't demonstrate individual free will.
They just chant whatever shit some delegates & trolls tell them to chant.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)It's like they purposely try to get lied to so they can be enraged at the 'others'. Ted Cruz made my day
lovemydog
(11,833 posts)& all that right wing radio crap. Or maybe those shows just reinforce their prejudices.
They hate people who don't look like them. And women.
If 2008 was Fear of a Black Planet, 2016 is Fear of a Female Planet.

- as for the RNC and their hate fest...just hate...all I have to ask - who the hell are they trying to woo? - The Donald will not reach 40% - what he has is all he will get...screw msm....they want to wallow in chit - well, that's all they got..
Thanks all! Be well - surround yourself with positive people -

Yes indeed, surround yourself with positive people. That's the best way to get through life, and this screaming mad hatefest of republican cruelty!

(2,338 posts)Football ruled everything in West Texas.
I was one of the first Title IX girls to play little league with the boys in middle school. Central field even.
Hockey didn't exist in my world then. Now that I live in Virginia, I do occasionally watch the Wizards, but I just never got into basketball. Never the Redskins though. I was a Houston Oiler fan until they defected to TN. Never got over that one.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)I grew up on bball and football, but moved up here to AK and this is hockey and soccer and baseball land. I love it, we have a lot of open space. Fresh air. Funny enough my tean for football is the Cowboys. Every year I get bitter at the end of the season and have to enjoy bball to get me happy again.

(2,338 posts)The Oilers held their camp at my college. I worked in the cafeteria for two summers when Bum Phillips was the coach. Boy can those dudes eat. And Bum was pure gentleman.

I loved this piece.
When he would come into the dining hall, we'd ask him how he was doing. He would say the same thing every time. "Fine, fine, just fine. You?"
And he had a strick policy of his players keeping their hands off the girls that worked there or risk a fine.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)Fewer Paternos and more hims.
Sophiegirl
(2,338 posts)His players truly respected him as did everyone else.
At the end of camp, they had a huge BBQ at the lake. We were always invited. It was a classy group. So when they left TX, I kinda gave up football. I just can't root for the Redskins and their chump of an owner.
Nice chat, brave. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.

(11,243 posts)It's like when football players watch tape of their opponents playing other games. I enjoy figuring out their talking points and where they're weakest.
All this group has is fear. They are betting they can make people feel afraid enough to abandon common sense and vote for their ninny of a nominee. This is not a bad strategy for GOP and it has worked in the past. But it is ALL they have. No ideas or anything positive. Obama is popular right now, and our party is relatively united, so it is going to be a hard row for them to hoe.

The worst thing for them is to confront these type of people and force them to justify their beliefs. They can't. They can not speak when you challenge them on these asinine beliefs with nothing more than a quote from FOX news or the RNC Convention quotes. There is no substance to their hate and fear. They do not speak from the basis of facts. They live on fearmongering hearsay.
Listen to what they say. Be prepared with facts. Don't ignore this convention. Use it as a foundation to fight against a candidacy that is not of substance. Just hate and greed.

(11,243 posts)I think that even the saltiest looks at Pence and runs screaming from the room. Pence is like the anti-Sanders.

Don't think we will not support the Dem ticket. We will.

(2,338 posts)Bernie supporters, IMO, would never support Trump. He is the antithesis of Trump.
I really expect this election to be a landslide like no other. Would I have preferred Bernie....yes. But I am not anti-Hillary. The people chose. I will vote accordingly. Never Trump. There would never be a doubt in my mind.
I think that Bernie, in the beginning, never expected to win the nomination. But what he did was to drive the Dem party further left. And I appreciate that. Because I care about "Ordinary Joe and Jane." I appreciate his effort. I will support Hillary. But I hope she follows through on the agreements made when forming the Dem platform. I'm hopeful.

Tonight's gift: the nominee re-tweeting 'ugly photos' of his competitor's wife, shortly after his competitor refused to endorse him.
Anything else I've missed?

I simply cannot bring myself to watch any of this live. But these comments always direct me to the "highlights" - a misnomer for anything happening at this convention. How low can they actually go?

(18,124 posts)is a defining moment in the history of this country......as was the ascension of JFK and then his murder......the rise of MLK and then his murder and the change in Malcolm X after Mecca and his murder, this clown of a candidate is 1933 redux of nazis vs everyone else. I wonder if everyone else is up to the task? Thank you for your reportage and probably having to take a lot of Kaopectate....... .
