Nicole Wallace is worthless. I'm tired of these Republican hacks on MSNBC like Steve Schmidt, Michael Steele, Hugh Hewitt, etc.
Trump is going to be so pissed at the ratings shellacking tomorrow night

It's so funny watching Jeffery Lord know that he is the only guy on the panel who thinks the DNC is worse than the RNC.
"She sent me, in this primary, to West Virginia, where she knew we were gonna lose, to look those coal miners in the eye and say: 'I'm down here because Hillary sent me to tell you, that if you really think you can get the economy you had 50 years back, have at it. Go for it, whatever you want to. But if she wins, she is coming back for you to take you along for a ride to America's future.'"

I don't know are there any particularly good conservative commentators (not that I really think you particularly need to have one anyway)
Bill has pleeeeenty of time to shit on Trump while campaigning anyway

If there is anyone who can balance the fire of hitting Trump and building up Hillary it's Obama. Offering the stark contrast is something that is completely up his alley. I hope though we get some of the introspective Obama about his last 8 years.
Bidden is where the popcorn will be needed.
So you never saw the correspondents' dinner where he tore Trump a new asshole after months of birther controversy?

Lord is not on Skip's level, this is an insulting comparison for Bayless.

So I just want to recap the obvious:
RNC:
- The son of some shmuck from Duck Dynasty
- Bob Loblaw
- An underwear model who says Obama is a Muslim
DNC:
- America Ferrera
- Sarah Silverman
- Meryl Streep
I mean I get that Republicans like to constantly talk about "liberal Hollywood" and "Mainstream Media", but you would think that a situation like this would make them think "gee, maybe we conservatives should try appealing to the most well known faces".

Different context. Trump was not a political opponent at that point; he was a celebrity and a national joke.
...wait. He's still those things, but he's also a political opponent now. The President is supposed to be above being a pure attack dog.

Two completely different settings. I dont doubt he can rip him three buttholes. But tomorrow night's speech calls for soaring heights and people going YAS.
So real question: If they can actually tie Trump to the DNC email hack and this becomes a Watergate 2.0 deal... what then? Is there some contingency in place if the nominee of a major party is arrested? I guess it would go to Pence? What if Pence is somehow implicated too (though I highly doubt he's got anything to do with Trump's campaign)?

After all the Diablos-ing I think so too.
This is what I was thinking too. Let's hope you're right.😃
All right, I trust Obama's political instincts in striking the correct tone, so I won't complain if he holds off on Trump.

Don't forget Demi Lovato and I believe Chloe Grace Moretz is speaking tomorrow as well.
This is the fundamental thing that Frank Luntz doesn't understand.
Even just as a thought experiment, this is intriguing. I think the RNC could pick a different candidate, possibly they'd go with Pence if he wasn't implicated as well. No idea if there's a deadline, like when the ballots are all set or something
Already knew what this was gonna be lol. She was in a good mood
I might die laughing if after the months of "is Hillary going to be indicted?" if it ends up that Trump gets indicted.
But being indicted is not disqualifying from federal office by itself. Trump would have to resign from the ticket voluntarily and could serve as President, even under indictment, if elected. Basically he'd have to be convicted to be removed from office. Innocent until proven guilty, after all.

Considering the media stopped giving a shit about the e-mails after like 2 days when they realized that it originated from Russia (which is a much better story), anything else that gets leaked like this is going to be tainted.
Everyone should be laughing at Wikileaks (and be horrified, that shit in Turkey) for the backfire that's going on. If you need evidence of how thoroughly those losers got blown the fuck out just look at their Twitter responses and how the only change they made in the DNC was DWS' resignation and an apology. Otherwise it did nothing.

Man I say Lord made one good point earlier and then he just goes and makes me regret begrudging him even that point.

For the last few days in Utah, people have been putting up American flags in their yard to celebrate the Utah holiday of Pioneer Day.
The holiday celebrates Mormons fleeing from the United States and starting their own Mormon state.
What does this have to do with American patriotism?

They don't even need to tie it to Trump. As long as they can tie it to anyone in the campaign, the election will be over. Nothing will come of this, though.
On a related note, there really needs to be some sort of international tribunal to deal with cyber crimes like this. Even if the US government can 100% prove that the Russians did this, what is the consequence? There's nothing we can really do about it. The laws need to catch up with this new reality, countries shouldn't be able to launch attacks on each other like this.

you can't put a price on sparks
there's a lot of indignant social media posts with all of The Burned.
They went from attention whores to basically everyone turning on them for being colossal pieces of shit to everyone laughing at them in the corner.

Mormons love the Constitution because it's a divinely inspired document, so they're the real Americans. I guess.

man, my social media feeds look a lot less poisonous now that i've unfriended/unfollowed all the far-left bombthrowers
(which is weird because one of them was an anarchist and, like, i'd stay friends with benji which is kind of a testament to how poisonous that shit was getting)

The problem for MSNBC, I think, is they don't know how to deal with this whole female nominee thing. A candidate's spouse is supposed to get up there and give a humanizing, life story type speech. We didn't ask Michelle to get up there and lay out, point by point, Obama's healthcare plan. We didn't ask or expect Laura Bush to get up and give a speech on The Bush Doctrine.
This is our first female presidential nominee. This is the first time we've ever had a husband speak as to why we should elect his wife for President. And, the media isn't sure how to deal with that. Plus, it's a former President. A speech about how a President was upstaged by a First Lady is kind of hard for a lot of the media to understand.
That and MSNBC Is a mess lately.

You know that speech was good when Banks walked back on stage just to be the closing screen of a YouTube video. "Like what you see? Subscribe now!"
PBS loved it, but man their live coverage is terrible

Most rationale people did, honestly. Rachel has been a bit of a wreck lately.
