Support NeoGAF

[metalslimer]

I hate the GOP but I sincerely hope no one gets hurt at the RNC, even Trump.

It's going to be a horror show.

Same with the secondary reason being if anyone actually got harmed by some lunatic it would just reinforce Trump's points

Manafort is saying that Portman is angry with Kasich for refusing to support Trump. Portman's people are denying this to anyone who will listen.

HAHAHAHA. It's day 1!

Watching CSPANs coverage because they're inside.

They just showed the oldest lookin 18 year old I've ever seen. People in the South must mature faster. I think it's the heat....

 

[ThLunarian]

Good lord. I just encountered a guy who says that the name "Black Lives Matter" has been irreparably damaged by these recent cop killings and that they need to change their name if they want to continue to effectively spread their message.

I can't even

Not unlike when the Republican party became the Tea Party to win some elections in 2010.

Calling in to Fox & Friends Monday morning, Trump said, “I mean, you know, I watched the president and sometimes the words are okay. But you just look at the body language. There’s something going on. Look, there’s something going on and the words are not often okay, by the way.”

Our next president is going to have okay words and good body language.

@GabrielSherman:

BREAKING: The Murdochs have decided to remove Roger Ailes, possibly within days. My latest:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/murdochs-have-decided-to-remove-roger-ailes.html

Roger Ailes's tenure as the head of Fox News may be coming to an end. Rupert Murdoch and sons Lachlan and James — co-chairmen and CEO, respectively, of parent company 21st Century Fox — have settled on removing the 76-year-old executive, say two sources briefed on a sexual harassment investigation of Ailes being conducted by New York law firm Paul, Weiss. After reviewing the initial findings of the probe, James Murdoch is said to be arguing that Ailes should be presented with a choice this week to resign or face being fired. Lachlan is more aligned with their father, who thinks that no action should be taken until after the GOP convention this week. Another source confirms that all three are in agreement that Ailes needs to go.

Ailes had a terrible year. Good riddance.

End of a era.

But Fox News will not change.

 

[Teggy]

I think it's exceedingly obvious that my point was that this video, which was meant to assuage people who thought cops were not making proper decisions, in fact mollifies nothing because the videos circulating over the internet are of an entirely different, egregious nature.

Not as exceedingly obvious as you thought.

WOW WOW WOW

Did not expect it.

YES

Please just copy and remake legit every LBJ ad

My mom is currently lecturing me about watching the convention for the first time ever on teevee in the 1960s.

Which is kinda awesome.

RINSE PUBIS!

I remember reading the Murdoch sons want it to be less blatantly partisan.

How Donald Trump Won [Vox]

The specific tactical modalities that took Trump from "well-known celebrity who polled well among Republicans" to "guy who beat a dozen established politicians and became the nominee" are worth recounting on their own terms. It’s a story of strong, innovative behavior on Trump’s part. But it's also a story of massive blundering on the part of the Republican establishment.

It's a tale in which, somewhat ironically, disciples of free market economics were brought down largely by collective action problems and an inability to coordinate.

A pretty thorough outline of how pretty much everything went down. Take a trip down memory lane, guys.

His tactic: Requiring abortion clinic staff to bury or cremate the remains of every abortion procedure that takes place in their facility.
Unlike past state anti-abortion laws, Abbott sidestepped the state legislature by simply proposing a new “rule” for the state health services agency. The public has just one month to comment on this rule before it could potentially go into effect — effectively cutting out months of debate and rewrites commonly found in legislature proceedings. This is a red flag to abortion advocates.

But totally about he health and safety of women. Right, guys?

Well, I mean, we did vote down all of their calls to not pass an amendment that ensures that gay children can be tortured with our blessing, but they were still there."

I will never get tired of this commercial, they should repeat it for every Smash marketing campaign.

The words are ok, but the words are not often ok. Just look at the body language. Trump is a mess.

Dunno, but Fox News as is has been pretty profitable.

Trump just ate some of johnson's support. Clinton actually went up 1. Seems ok though I don't like their negatives converging.

Wonder what LeBron would do if they dropped his name during the Convention?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jill Stein has thoughts:

.@HillaryClinton supported ultra right Barry Goldwater and is now using an old ad attacking him to say Trump is dangerous.

Finally, attacking Hillary's political beliefs as a 17 year old, this will work.

Just don't buy it directly from the campaign bae. There are places on line that print up stuff. You'll get your swag and won't be breaking campaign finance law.

Win win.

Weird how Stein isn't really going up despite apparently tapping into that berniebro anti-Hillary sentiment

 

[pigeon]

Hot take: Hillary supporting Goldwater in '68 is really just evidence that the youth vote is dumb and more interested in change for its own sake than actual improvement.
