No matter who you intend to vote for, who had the better convention?

[Peter King]

Well, with just a few speeches to go, we have to ask ourselves who had the better convention. The Republican convention with no former presidents and real presidential megastars or the democratic convention with loads of big names, big stars and loads of military/veterans and even both mothers of people killed by police officers and families of fallen police officers.

From a production value or from a topic value, which convention do you think knocked it out of the park?

Is it the Republican one or the democratic one? Or did you think both of them sucked so bad that you think yourself

I don't even bother with conventions. If I want to hear groups of people fall all over themselves in self congratulation, I come here.

Probably should wait till the second is over to judge yet.

Judging by the end product, the party's nominee for POTUS, they both sucked. You do not elect a production to be POTUS - you elect a person to be POTUS.

If Kia ran a spiffier ad than Mercedes did then that would make no difference as to which I would prefer to have for the same price (in this case, casting my vote).

the democratic socialist party's convention looked like it took place on planet obama.


run don run

 

[Peter King]

It may sound silly, but I think this convention was more "patriotic" than the republican convention and that is strange because in the past the republican one was as patriotic and mostly even more patriotic. But that is what I especially saw tonight, a retired general, police officers, family of police officers, parents of a fallen Muslim US soldier, veterans, etc. etc. etc.

Sure there were a few people shouting stupid stuff, but most what one could here was USA USA USA USA.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

The Democratic one has been better with much better speeches and ads. The Republican one felt like it had a dark cloud over it the whole time.

That said, by the time the election comes around I think any effect the conventions have has worn off. So in the end they don't matter.

Someone said the republican one was more like the Götterdämmerung than a description of what the US is like (looking in from the outside).

 

[Peter King]

I thought it was a surprisingly strong speech from Hillary and I think she at least tried to please Bernie voters too with her speech. College debt, living wage, paid family leave, minimum wage, health care reform but also reaching to the middle class and making sure that employees get a pay rise.

This is a hilarious statement. The dark cloud was hovering over the DNC. At least 75% of the Democrats feel they got jobbed.

Mothers of mopes? wow. real presidential megastars? who would that be-Hillary's crooked husband? Rudy G is in terms of star power was as big as anyone the dems had. a bunch of entertainers who have almost no educations that counts among the lot of them? wow, that's impressive. the DNC was tarnished by the well known and now confirmed proof that the Dems rigged the game for Hillary. she is on record as a confirmed liar on issues that actually matter.

Really, for one example, I did not see anyone in the DNC convention saying that Donald Trump needs to be put in front of a firing squad and shot to death. Nor was there such a morbid obsession with everything that supposedly is wrong with the USA.

well to answer your SPECIFIC question:

I answered "the democratic convention, message and production were awesome"
Now with that said they both made me roll my eyes quite a bit and I found them both frustrating at times not liking the BS falling out of peoples mouths. I lean right but overall based on your question it was the DNC. I was frustrated with the RNC because it was such doom and gloom and hate and attack. Not saying the DNC didnt hate and attack, they did but not on the same scale and the other messages were better.

When the DNC defies a democracy by nullifying the million of votes to Sanders in favor of a crony capitalist like Clinton, things like that will happen.

The USA has a lot of problems because of the reign of Obama. It is not an obsession but a reality

 

[Bucky]

The DNC took away voter rights. They essentially defied the US constitution and spit in the face of American voters. A convention supporting and cheering for a crooked criminal... Now that's disturbing!

Mothers of mopes :doh

Yes, unlike the republicans they actually had 1 former president live, one with a video and a current president, plus the FLOTUS. That is presidential star power.

Rudy G is a fool who does not know low from high and who sounded like he was an a mix of red bull/mountain dew and some doping that made he sound like the energizer bunny or should I say the terrorizing bunny. And he is bigger than anyone the dems had :lamo

Rudy G was not able to hold his own with loads of democratic speakers (FLOTUS, POTUS, Biden, Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton, Madeleine Allbright, Bloomberg, General John Allen, governor Cuomo and a few more.

The DNC may have people who had a serious favorite in the primaries but the DNC does not hold the primaries, the state democratic parties hold the primaries and even with the extreme bias for Hillary (the actual member of the Democratic party compared to the independent who caucuses with the democrats Bernie Sanders).

One disappointing speech IMHO was that of Senator Warren, she needs to go in as attack dog but the speech she made was a bit so so.

Nobody's vote was nullified, it is how primaries work. Did the RNC acceptance of Trump nullify the voters who voted for his opponents?

And the DNC did not defy democracy, they are allowed to have a favorite but it is the local democratic parties who hold primaries (fair and open for the most) and sadly the votes of the person who loses are always not going to count anymore.

But that was also not the case here because loads of their points of view made it into the party platform and the speech of Hillary.

Gee, DP libs fawning over the commie convention. What a shocker. :yawn:

So you are a hard core Hillary supporter? why not have said that at the start and saved us all the extraneous bovine excrement?

A criminal? Proof please (and with that I mean the conviction of a crime she was found guilty of in a court of law)!

The DNC did not take away voter rights. The losing side always "looses out". In 2000 Gore had the most votes but still lost, that is how the US system works. Not always fair but that is the way it works.

What in te name of Santa Claus does the Constitution have to do with a political party convention? If you form a political party and hold a convention, which part of the constitution would apply to you?

 

[Peter King]

Nope, but she most certainly is the lesser of 2 evils. She is at least not the Donald, the real piece of bull extrement.

you and I don't know who had the most votes because hundreds of thousands of absentee votes were not counted in states where the state overall count would not have changed for example, If Bush had a 200K vote lead in Ohio and there were 100K uncounted absentee votes, they were not counted since it wouldn't have changed things

what we do know is that Gore's fluffers in the media called Florida for Gore when the Bush supporting panhandle's polls hadn't closed yet and that cost Bush thousands of votes when people who were standing in line to vote were told Florida had already been called for Gore
