Why do two of Michigan's most noteworthy musicians have to be racist assholes?

Democrats do need to step their game up. This is one time they can't be complacent.

So I thought Trump's strategy was going to be to drag Hillary down into the gutter. Instead, it looks like his strategy to make the country, itself, feel so collectively horrible that it contemplates voting for Donald Trump so that its leader reflects its low, low state.

Anna Navarro is livid on CNN. She's done.
They will make souring overtures about America's greatness and fill people with hope for the future.
And they will destroy them with it.
they have a pretty deep bench with sanders, warren, obama, and bill clinton.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump loses points after this in the next round of polls.
I want to be optimistic about that but we'll see.
"the polls though!!"
Trump is resonating with a scary amount of people. People need to get scared now.

Longest acceptance speech since 1972.
I am shocked he made it the whole time with no potshots at Cruz.

He is literally Diet Hitler.
Orange Diet Hitler.
This was the most disastrous political convention I've seen in my 30 years on this planet.
I can't fathom how he could possibly get a bump out of it.

Don't forget Smokin' Joe.
Thanks for listening. If I may hazard one additional bit of explanation, I am very intentionally adopting a forceful form of rhetoric to provide a counterpoint to the type of loudmouthed hate coming from the other side.
To put it in terms recently described by a celebrity who said she wished those who were against hate spoke as loudly as those for it... well, I agree with that. I want to drown out their voices. And so if I may appear at times too forceful, it is because I believe this is an unprecedented election in our lifetime. I had ideological differences with McCain and Romney and Bush. I greatly disliked Bush. But I never thought they had a chance to destroy the country forever.
Trump is the first such candidate in my lifetime, maybe in this countries lifetime to pose such a threat. And I believe we need to be equal to the bigness of that threat by fighting back hard.

Warren gonna bring the fire, we can at least count on that.
I've never donated to a candidate in my life, and I'm about to pony-up for Hillary.

I really really really need to take the day after the election off. Either way it goes... I won't sleep much that night.

Uh, the polls are generally reliable. So I don't get that comment. It'll be interesting to see what the polls do in the next few weeks after the conventions are over.

As a black man married to a Chinese immigrant I gotta say I can't stand Trump!
Oh wait no, I actually approve of a ton of things he said.

It goes way deeper too. Even the celebrities are considerably higher in status than what the RNC could scrounge up.

TRUMP'S PLAN

#13: RELIGION: ELIMINATE TAX EXEMPTION RESTRICTIONS RE: POLITICAL SPEECH.
BIGGER AND BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.
BELIEVE ME. IT'LL HAPPEN AND HAPPEN FAST.
These were literally the only points I could find in that mess of a speech.

The one good thing from this RNC shitshow is that things stayed relatively the same. The GOP is divided, Drumpf kept to his racist rethoric, and the party is still entrenched in its own arsehole. Bring on the Democratic Convention. It will be relative calm compared to this week's horror show.
I never thought to do this but I just set up a recurring payment to her campaign. I've never been so scared of the other side in my life.

I just realized the reason for the non seauiturs like the LGBT stuff, the bernie, student loans. All throwaways so people on media can say "but he mentioned it!"
