I wouldn't say finding that depressing is diablosing

It really is depressing that so many people are willing to vote for Trump. Even if 40% of the voters pick him I'll be kinda sad. 35% or lower would make me feel better about the country

Makes me sadder and sadder by the day. Don't know how I am going to deal with it, especially since we still have months to go.

Cursory look on Wikipedia seems to have that number based on exit polls, where it said 60% of them voted for Obama. I'm assuming that means the number could very well be higher or lower in actuality.

Yeah the segment had two GOP guys and they don't have a lot of confidence in winning Florida.

They're not pro-Trump, but Trump is not getting 40% of the latino vote in Florida, even with more conservative latino voters.

She's the anti-Obama in that in 2008, everyone projected their ideas of America's most hopeful, most positive attributes onto him, and here in 2016, it feels like everyone's projecting their ideas of America's shittiest and most unlikable traits onto her...and that's with Trump actually being a literal example of the shittiest and most unlikeable traits on a 24/7 basis.

If it wasn't before, this has completely jumped the rails.

So Fox News instead of broadcasting the mother of the dead soldier, has a phone interview with Trump.

Seriously, the campaign is amateur hour.

The main conclusion I took away from the Benghazi report was Obama/Hillary had limited culpability with the main criticism they didn't have assets in the region.

Well, this Benghazi themed night is so far every bit as gross as I thought it would be.

If you add in all the TV coverage of this night to the investigation I wonder how much money has been wasted on this load of shit.

A woman whose son was killed in Benghazi was brought out. She's impaired, I Believe, in some way. (Sounded like she's had a stroke). And she basically said Hillary personally killed her son. And she belongs in prison. And she should be in stripes.

And it was exploitative, and disgusting and a new fucking low for the GOP.

From what I've seen thus far, I'm racking my brain trying to figure-out how the hell he gets a bounce out of this week. This is nutzo territory.

If the Democrats were petty and wanted to play politics, they'd wheel out hundreds of mother's of Iraqi war vets who were killed and have them directly blame Bush and Cheney. Sure, it doesn't invoke the same effect, but it's still exploitive.

So tonight's real theme is PTSD pornography. I'm sure the keynote speech tonight will be all about reforming the VA and how we can do better for our veterans.

Or 9/11. I don't think the GOP was so far gone in those days, but imagine if this GOP had 9/11 to lay at the feet of Al Gore and blame him personally for the deaths of the victims. It's just disgusting as hell and I can't believe even Donald Trump's GOP sunk so low as to exploit the grief of this woman for political ends because she would lash out at Clinton for them.

Booooo, I've been hearing about this fucking farce for 4 whole years and I am just fucking sick of it now! Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State was one of the quietest in the past 50 years and completely renewed our friendship with all of our allies, so I'd proudly call Clinton a success in all respects! And I think on most accounts her husband + Albright demonstrated amazing judgment and restraint in office as well while still exercising force when they saw appropriate. Everything from Kosovo to Saddam Hussein and even U.S.S. Cole, Bill did the right thing (only mistakes were Rwanda and Somalia). So as a hawk who believes in the value of our strength internationally, I'd be very happy with Hillary Clinton in office, much more so than with Barrack Obama in fact!

Agreed. I know I'm pretty young but I've never seen anything like that. I felt so many simultaenous emotions with the primary one being anger for exploiting that woman. I know republicans are going to compare it with the mothers of the movement

Trump is currently attacking Kasich on O'Reilly's show right now so I guess you can look forward to a lot of Kasich bashing when Trump comes on stage during the RNC.

No way I can watch this shit- it's not even entertaining

The GOP attaching itself to this BS is just one of many reasons the party is fading into obscurity. They've wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on this. Even people who lean GOP can't be comfortable watching this...

Listening on the radio and they were talking to a Washington delegate who is nevertrump. She brought up that he called Bill Clinton before the campaign. They still think he's a Clinton plant?

I'm trying to wrap my head around how she can decrease her unfavorable rating in such a short span of time. Bernie and the FBI took for-fucking-ever. It's a big problem.
