Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[DrScholl]

Opening your convention with a tourism infomercial and a Boyz II Men performance.

lol democrats

It's better than having no name actors speak and pretend like they are a big deal. I'm just saying.

[DrScholl]

If you are Republican, turn the damn convention off and stop your damn nagging. If you hate Democrats and Hillary, why watch?

For fun. Also, you all were very vocal about the so called disaster in Cleveland. I want to watch you sink into total panic. Enjoy President Drumph!

White supremacy is a great goal to aspire to /sarc. If I were you'd, I'd be very worried about my own views. Anyone supporting Trump needs to pray to God for sanity.

[DrScholl]

Glad to see Sanchez fighting the uphill battle against all the insane hypocrites who have no idea about anything related to politics. "Negative bounce" was absolutely hysterical. All these people literally build up Republican straw men that don't actually exist and look like fools.

Join in Comrade, drink these Democrat tears! Yum yum yum!

David Duke is running for Senate, so you better go start organizing for him if you want to get him elected. White power!

[DrScholl]

When he was in elected office, he was a Democrat, you know . But that is an Oldies argument, and I don't want to fight.

Last time he ran statewide, he was a Republican and we all know why he eventually became one. But again, you better hurry up and start organizing for him. We all know what you are.

[DrScholl]

Ok, I'm gonna take a smoke break. I'll be back in ten after I call some friends to celebrate the coming calamity.

Don't ever come back. We are all sick of you.

[DrScholl]

[DrScholl]

We're witnessing the birth of the Green Tea Party.

That was actually four years ago. Good times.

No one gave a s--t about Roseanne Barr.

Exactly, but some people will always exaggerate.

[DrScholl]

"Ours is the party of unity and not division" I don't think so after tonight.

Just like yours, with Ted Cruz refusing to endorse Trump?

Which is actually worse than chanting.

[DrScholl]

McCaskill, Donnelly, Tester, Heitkamp, and Manchin should probably be shaking right now. The far left progressives don't like centrist Democrats. In 2018, they may be done.

The type of Democrat that likes Manchin voted for Sanders in the primary, so I wouldn't be too worried about their primary prospects.

[DrScholl]

anyways, to the people complaining about the ~horrible bernie-bros~ () ― that's what happens when you spend the entire primary season sh¡tting on both sanders and his supporters ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ

It's more about the fact that their candidate didn't win.

[DrScholl]

So far, there have been more Sanders supporters on the stage than there were Cruz supporters on stage at the RNC.

[DrScholl]

Yeah abolish the death penalty, and criminals return in our towns and cities.

They will, unless you give everyone life in prison.

I don't want criminals near me. Do you?

People committing crimes or people who have done their time?

I've got no problem with people who have paid their debt to society.

People who commit crimes. I don't trust serial killers. Democrats need to be careful with this death penalty crap, it could cost them in the suburbs of America.

Death penalty or no death penalty, those people are not going to be back on the streets. Besides, with the delays in execution in some places, it's almost as if there is no death penalty. Many inmates stay on death row for decades.

[DrScholl]

Never anticipated this much butthurt in this thread.

Hey, guys: Bernie Sanders exists.  Get over it.

Scott, don't start. 

Butt. Hurt.

Please. Ban.

[DrScholl]

Everybody needs to take a chill pill. At least give Bernie a chance to smooth things over with his speech, then let's see where things stand tomorrow.

I'm afraid Bernie's own delegates are gonna boo him if he even mentions supporting Hillary.

Seems like most of the boos occur when Sanders supporters who now support Hillary speak.

[DrScholl]

This woman comes off as a little disingenuous.

That's pretty much how Nita Lowey always talks. Her speeches on the House floor sound similar.

[DrScholl]

Can we deport this speaker and seize his property to pay for the wall?

Why not post on Stormfront.  With posts like this, you would be right at home.

It's really scary.

[DrScholl]

They barely mention Hillary by name at her own convention. It seems like all of these speeches have been scrubbed at the last minute. They boo at every chance! Doing it again as I write this!

They're mentioning Clinton's name a lot actually.

That's what I'm hearing too.

[DrScholl]

Nate Silver is saying that only about 2-5% of the entire arena is booing.

"Nate Silver ‏@NateSilver538  17s17 seconds ago
How many people were booing mentions of Hillary? I'd guess 2-5% of the delegates, or something like that. A few loud pockets of people."

It doesn't sound like a big amount of people, so that sounds about right.

[DrScholl]

This music is pitiful.

Could you be any more of imbecilic teenaged boy?

After finding out that he smokes and drinks, we should just pity him and ignore his antics.

[DrScholl]

Michelle Lujan Grisham's district number was listed as CA-51. She's from New Mexico. Not a huge deal, but someone was not proofing that video well.

[DrScholl]

Rep Sanchez: "Trump is bad, he is a meanie, and I don't like him."

That's not what she said. At least she's not shouting "Lock him up" or calling for him to be put before a firing squad.

[DrScholl]

This is more insufferable to watch than the RNC.  At least the fearfearfear show is good for a laugh. This is just cringey.

Serious and real talk is not for everyone. The RNC is available on the C Span site to re-watch.

More like 'trying too hard to be genuine' talk and hear my sob story.

So cynical. Have several seats, please. lol.

Beautiful! Thank you Philly weather!

Stein will seriously claim that Hillary made it rain to spoil her rally. Wait for it.
