I didn't think this deserved it's own thread, but it was very humorous so I felt it needed to be posted.

Trump apparently mixed up Tim Kaine with Tom Kean:

Chris MurphyVerified account
‏@ChrisMurphyCT Chris Murphy Retweeted Olivia Nuzzi
OH MY GOD. @realDonaldTrump thinks Hillary chose Tom Kean for VP.

Olivia Nuzzi @Olivianuzzi
Trump referenced Tim Kaine doing a poor job "in New Jersey" twice before someone corrected him.

LOL, this guy's an amateur.

I feel sympathy for these people, but Hill shouldn't be campaigning on this. You lose at least as many votes as you gain, and nothing meaningful is going to happen.

She should be campaigning against guns until the day she dies or until gun reform happens. You can't ignore 90 people dying a day to guns when it literally happens nowhere else in the world.

Moreover, most Americans support at least some form of background checks.

^I agree. It's not about vilifying a single person, it's about bringing about change.

I'm going to get sh**t on very hard for this, but there aren't enough white people speaking here. The ethnic makeup of the lineup is a subtle indicator of brand. This says "gun control is a black issue." What they should have had, is rural white NRA men with scruff beards who go up there and say "I'm a fourth-generation AK-47 owner, but I still support background checks." I blame DWS for putting together this not-as-good-as-it-could-be convention.

You're 100% right...Democrats still need around 39% of the white electorate in this country to win so keeping is a must.

I'm confident that at least 39% of white voters aren't racist.

So everyone who supports Trump is a racist? Because Democrats would totally not support a Democratic version of Trump if it were running against, say, George W. Bush, right?

I meant that enough people (more than 39% of white voters) won't be bothered that so many of the speakers today are black, so Hillary wouldn't lose votes over it. I can tell you that I wouldn't support a Democratic Trump.

Sanding ovation for John McCain at a DNC, what universe are we living in?

One in which respect exists. Trump would never want to live in such a universe.

Great, now some people are shouting "lies." At least the shouts of "USA" mostly drowned them out.

Obama speaks the truth. My friends from abroad can't even begin to understand why anyone would vote for Trump.
