Hopefully this convention helps Americans realize the stakes of this election. This party is unhinged.

And your party is about to nominate a criminal

No charges were ever given to her, unlike your nominee who is on trial for fraud.

Refer to my post that started this page

A Republican Bush administration chastised her, in one of the most unprofessional manners ever done by a Director of the FBI, something even Hover didn't do.  Yeah, really damning.

Trump is not "on trial for fraud." It's a civil suit, not a criminal one.

All due respect, trials can happen in civil law. Not exclusive to criminal law

[Seriously?]

The theme of tonight at the RNC is fear... this is disgusting. This is how people in a democracy vote in support of tyranny.

Yeah, because we SHOULDN'T be making a big deal about three people that had no legal right to be here KILLING Americans that belong here.

Right, because fear is the only way to fix that problem. Let's throw rational policies out the window and just scare people into voting for Trump.

It's called enforcing the law. One party's candidate wants to do that. The other wants the taxpayer to pay for college for illegal immigrants.

If guilty, he has to pay out a sh**t ton of money.  And trial is a all around term, not just for criminal suits dumbass.

Yes, and the courts and law say that the case against trump is valid and should at least move to the next step in the process.
Hillary has no civil (or criminal) suit.

No criminal charges are brought in a tort action.

And if you are found liable civilly, you are NOT a criminal. Ask OJ.

To be fair, I've never heard "on trial for" used in a civil suit setting.

I don't believe I've actually used this word yet during the 2016, but this is just fascism. Plain and simple.

It's scary. The crowd is scary. The words people are saying are scary.

All I've heard is basically a thin defense of why we should deliberately ignore the words of black people and, in fact, push back. What is this disgusting bullsh-t that America has become?

The worst thing my candidate did is not balance his state's budget.

I still think Drumpf may just say the whole party is fascist and drop out in his speech.

I know. But your original comment made it sound like trials in civil suits can't happen, when in fact they obviously can.

This is what's truly scary. It's not just that Trump is the nominee, but that such a huge faction of the party is so supportive of some truly awful policies.

"On trial" tends to give a criminal connotation, but you can have a trial over anything.

That person better run.

Well to be fair, it's not all of "America."
It's trump and his brown shirts.

Tonight the American public is finally seeing the truth. Hillary Lies and People Die!

It may be scary, but it's tough talk. The Democratic Party is seen as the party of anarchy and urban unrest. They're embracing Black Lives Matter, which tactics are disappointing.

This is horrifying. It's like if my grandma's emails spawned a stadium of people.

I've been using the word for a while to describe the state of affairs in the republican party. Its just getting to be very very obvious at this point.

Really, as a country we have a choice between something similar to what we got right now, or throwing your heads into the woodchipper by giving into these yahoos.
