I'm thinking more and more Clinton will pick Tim Roemer. He's anti NAFTA. He'll do well in the Rust Belt.

What are you?

Clueless?

Hey..he's a dark horse.

You see, that implies he actually has a chance of being picked

Why make the speech about crime? How is going hard on crime going to win over swing voters when it's at a historic low??

Have you not seen Ferguson, Baltimore, the college campuses?

As if a couple of riots are indicative of national crime statistics...

Statistics are more important than images when making policy.

He's speaking to the GOP base, who believes that crime has gone up, unemployment up, deportations down, and the stock market down under Obama even though the opposite is true. They live in an alternate reality.

Indiana is only prosperous because they focus on stealing all of Illinois' jobs.  Its treacherous.

First Republican nominee to use the term "LGBTQ" in their convention speech?

Don't expect any substance from Trump. That's like expecting an ant to speak Italian.

Why? Clinton will likely do fine for 4 years and we'll see how things are after in 2020.

Also, I am neither "little" nor your "buddy." Take your patronizing crap somewhere else.

It's surprisingly boring, dark and drab. Maybe that's what they were going for in order to "change his image" I guess

TBF, Appalachia and a lot of small towns have been hit pretty hard, and that's where a lot of the base is from. Not necessarily an alternate reality, just not indicative of the full national picture.

He didn't mention anything about a hateful domestic ideology now, did he?

He obviously feels that he needs to keep repeating "believe me" because he's worried no one will.
