    Judging by this final night's list of speakers, it looks like the convention's organizers will again ensure that the main speaker, tonight's being the party's presidential nominee, will speak well after 11 o'clock, that is, for the smallest possible national audience. (Speakers will even include two state representatives from Tennessee. What for?) I don't think this convention could have been handled any worse.

    A comment so absolutely untrue that I briefly break my silence. It just seems that way to those of you who have drifted to the far right as you pay homage to Donald Trump, who is one of our worst, if not the worst, presidents.

    They are taking the “We can sleep when we’re dead” theme a little too seriously.

    RFK Jr. on Kamala, he nails it. Probably better than Trump himself could:

    "I think it was a coronation, it's not democracy. Nobody voted. Who chose Kamala? It wasn't voters."

    "She went in four weeks from being the worst liability for the Democratic Party to the second coming of Christ without giving one interview, without showing up for a debate, without a single policy that anyone thinks isn't ridiculous," he said. "It's not democracy."

    Someone should tell RFK Jr that the election hasn’t happened yet.

    I heard George Bush, Taylor Swift, and Melania will be endorsing Kamala tonight. One of them is obviously a joke, Taylor is on tour.

    Why do you think it is that the criticism of how Kamala came to be the nominee primarily comes from Trump supporters? I don't see complaints from the only group that would have a reason to be upset - the Democrats. She's polling very well compared to Biden and enthusiasm is way up.

    Lol… RFK got ballot access in some states by jumping on to 3rd party tickets that were already approved …. Nobody voted for him, either,

    You're easily smoked out, and drawn into the fray.

    May as well stop resisting, and just roll up your sleeves and get filthy!

    That's bc none of those speakers are ready for prime time.

    Doh! Biden? Good Lord NO!
    Tampon Tim aWolz? Nope.
    sKamala? LOL!

    DNC hedging to avoid catastrophic exposure.

    ...and no one has greater potential to @#$%& up worse, than sKamala.

    IOW: no, it's prolly not dumb. It's cautious.

    I guess that's a combination of skag and Kamala. Just a guess, but I wouldn't doubt the intention one bit.

    I remember when it was the Democrats who were saying that a reality television star would be easy to defeat in a presidential election. They also expressed a similar opinion regarding a former actor 44 years ago. Once again be careful what you wish for.

    Actually, she just wrapped up her tour dates in Europe, and is currently on a break...

    Not saying they're easily beat--I'm saying they're not great speakers, but all have great potential to meander off script and commit montereous blunder (like Biden in the debate). The machine ain't having none of it--keeping their dogs muzzed, on short leashes, and in order.

    Bejing runs a tight ship, yo! :cool:
