I want Ken Burns at the ready to make a mini documentary about the GOp Convention. He can have old timey Piano music and fake lithographs.

"On the third day, passions and the June heat caused a breaking point. A shot rang out from from the upper deck of the hall. Theodore Rafeal Cruz, declared that the floor had become like a Hobesian state of nature. Donald J Trump- whose real name was Donald Drumpf- clutched for his beloved daughter Ivanka. Benjamin Carson, the recently freed slave, dove forth to save his master. All in attendance blamed the Democrats for the chaos."

My abortion stance is complicated, I disagree with late stage, but before 4 months I'm all in. I have realized his scaling back (see 1st FNC debate on Gay Rights) and now. But he is sensible in my eyes, and a lot of his ideas align with my views. Not everybody here is a progressive, and that's perfectly fine.

The problem with defunding planned parenthood is that they don't ONLY do abortions. They provide a lot of needed health care services for women in poor areas that they can't always afford or get anywhere else.

Is that really John Oliver led?

This could be epic.

Even Trump acknowledged that. I agree. PP has some good services, but after the fog of that scandal finally clears, they might need a closer look at their leadership.

Any chance Hillary doesn't get the required # of delegates for nomination?

What happens in the case that the requirement isnt reached?

A joke that has gone on for far too long.
He has some support here, mainly from extreme-right groups and outspoken racists.
Overall he's very hated though and we're worried about the possibility of him becoming president. Our politicians have strongly condemned his statements, particularly his views on muslims.
Our main news station is considered very neutral and unbiased but I've seen the news anchors struggle to contain their laughter while reporting on the buffoonery that goes on in the GOP debates.

Yea because your strategy with muslim immigrants has worked so well.

NYC has tons of enthic enclaves, i live in

One however we arent shut off from eachother...Paris has Ethnic enclaves that

ARE shut off from each other...

Da NYPD has da most power anti Terrorist

Squad in da country which in effect, is da world's best.

U gone let a stream of migrants from worn torn middle east enter ya country...u MIGHT

wanna vet these folks...ya think?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Bern Brahs, even if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, and he doesn't want a place in Clinton's cabinet

I think we can all rally behind him to be the next Senate Majority Leader if the Dems take back the Senate.

Reid is retiring, Bernie is now a democrat, and the Senate fight is also extremely important. It at least guarantees our judicial system loving left

This would make sure Bernie, as his platform say in the national spotlight for years to come.

Paris and Brussells has radicalization problems because they are treated like second class citizens, leading some people vulnerable to scum like ISIS. That's what people like Cruz and probably Trump are after. Terror raids won't help unless you round up literally everyone, look at Belgium right now. That's not smart multiculturalism.

Nor is shutting out victims of ISIS terror.

Bernie's a nice guy, but no way for replacing Reid. Hillary would never side with him, he's been a thorn in her side.

Bingo, she even mad she got pushed to da faaaar left as is. "Psssh..paid speeches? So?"

 

[JonathanLegend]

If Hillary wins the nom, y'all don't think she would have Bernie for VP? Or that Bernie wouldn't take it if asked? Or Vice Versa.

Together, either way of who's Pres/VP they'd be unstoppable.

You really go look up how close they are on many issues. They are not that far apart on many things.

They agree on nearly all the issues, it is just that Bernie's plans go further

Hillary isn't looking to associate herself with evil commie Bernie. She's trying to cater and doing a decent job. Bernie would only begin the division of the Dem party between young/old even though he's a good, honest man with charisma. That's not what she would want, especially if a Bernie 2 comes around.

That's pretty hard to do, but this is America. Good luck getting through preconceived notions of Nordic Socialism.
