The MSM Especially MSNBC Is Going Out Of Their Way To Rabble Rouse At The DNC.....

they are itching to show unrest and dissension in Philly. They are harping on the DNC e-mails and trying to create a storm - when in my opinion it has blown over a long time ago.

Bottom line I believe if the MSM had their choice as to whom they would like to win the Presidency - it would be Trump. I think they see Trump as their ticket to high viewership over the subsequent 4 years. That's what it's about to them - viewership = money and profits for them.

So What Was Moring Joe's Post Mortem On Trump's Acceptance Speech?.....

I can't stand that show - but am really curious as to how Scar is spinning it.

"There Can Be No Prosperity Without Law And Order" .....

This quote from Trump's acceptance speech scared me the most.

Hillary Needs To Do Something To Shake Things Up.....

Listening to Trump's speech tonight it sounds like he is going to do all the things that the Repugs stonewalled against for the last 8 years. As such - Hillary won't be able to mount a traditional campaign against him by running against the Repugs- because Trump is not your typical Repug nor is he running on a typical Repug platform. He's changing the feel and approach of the Repug Party.

You also heard Trump make a play for Bernie's supporters to support him. As he says that Hillary is a Washington insider and represents establishment politics.

So I believe that Hillary has to be very careful in her VP choice. She can't pick an establishment white male politician - like a Kaine or Vilsack - because it will look too traditional or familiar or establishment Washington insider like.

She needs to pick a VP that will give a different and pushing the envelope look.

That's why I believe her best choice for VP is Elizabeth Warren. Or she should choose a younger Latino male like Julian Castro.

Bottom line when you see her standing on the stage at the end of the Dem Convention - the picture that needs to stick in the minds of the American People is that it is different and doesn't look like something out of a past time in American or Democratic Party politics.

Anybody Making Bets On Whether Cruz Endorses Trump Tonight?.....

All day the MSM has been talking about Cruz making a speech at the RNC tonight - but that he is not going to endorse Trump.

I'm suspicious of this.

I'm thinking that this is all staged and that is what the Repugs want us to believe. They want us to think that Cruz won't endorse Trump - but that - in fact - he will make an endorsement of Trump and become a hero for looking like he is pulling the Party together.

I don't think Cruz will miss a chance at looking like a hero. And when he does endorse Trump - you will hear a loud roar from the crowd in the building and tomorrow - you will see a stage where Cruz will be there right up on the stage with Trump, Pence, Christie, Walker, Carson, etc.

That will be their picture of Party Unity that will carry forth from this convention and into the campaigning.

What are your thoughts on this.

How Come Trump Isn't Making His Own Statement Re: Malania Plagerism.....

It's not true to form for him. All through his campaign he was the first to blast out a tweet or make a phone call to the media or make an appearance on a cable news show or take shots from his primary bully pulpit.

Now it appears that he is in hiding and letting other people take the heat instead of being his old self and standing up for what happened.

Is he a coward? Why is he not protecting his wife? Why is he letting his campaign manager throw her under the bus?

I Bet The RNC Is Now Thinking That They Should Have Considered The Unbound Delegate Motion....

The Party needs to jettison Trump and get a real candidate. This guy is decimating the Party. I bet Rence is having second thoughts this a.m. and he still has a couple of convention days to go.
