no mention of radical Islam, among other things.

This thread was hilarious - and pretty much what I expected

Based on the dedicated and steady flow of sniping and whining - I think we can safely say that it smells of sour grapes and fear

:-)

Nah, slow TV night. Battlesbots and Mystery at the Museum were over and I was actually hoping the see some O'Reilly commentary and instead I listened to an hour of stilted sound bites and white noise masked protests.

Because he threw those people out.

Get'em outta here, get'em out....

ISIS is getting bolder and Kerry is attacking air conditioning.

It's a valid point.

I did Trump's RNC speech.

As you can see, WILL wins! With Country second and America and Americans coming as distant third and fourth.

Bill and Hillary's hotel room.

hahahaha!! You just crack me up sometimes!! Love it.

Heard it...

Welp, there we have it folks. This is what we need to defeat.

We have a celebrity laden, glitzy, showboat of a fabrication. There was clearly divisiveness even there. This is a stolen, assimilation of lost causes.

It would have been a disaster, were it not for the near surgical precision required to remove the very people whose momentum was responsible for even giving the left a realistic chance in this cycle.

The biggest lie won. An establishment candidate who has bipartisan endorsement of just about everybody responsible for the sh!t we have lived through for the last quarter century has taken, not earned, the nomination.

Congrats to the left for continuing the same # we once hated and tried to change.

Here we go. I will fight like hell all the way.

Hope we can still be pals.

That went over my head. Explain please? Looks like a Pac-Man.

Was it something I said?

Geeze, ATS went down when I hit post, 15 mins ago.

The DNC convention sure did.

Fear of rich people.

Fear of Wall Street.

Fear the planet is out to git us.

Fear of bankers.

Fear of GUNZ.

Fear of TRUMP.

Fear for FEAR sake.

I listened to Hillary's speech on the car radio. Without seeing her face, the voice sounds really mean, yet pandering, at the same time. Sounds like she took the words "coal industry" and built words around it, in order to pander to coal miners. I pictured them giving her the middle-finger when she got to that sentence.

Your thread was a success.

Thanks to us Clinton critics cause there sure weren't too many Clinton voters.

Your welcome

because we were actually watching the convention.
We didn't want the experience ruined by the sour grapes and negative comments and running two line commentary from people who pretend to know her.
It was a much better experience for me without the nastiness.

Something I don't spend a lot of time thinking about :-)

They have an interesting relationship

But they're a formidable team

I was comforted to hear Crooked Hillary wants to get the money out of politics.
She's been getting her money out of politics for 30 years.

Here's Hillary's. Hers has less emphasis on any one word, but has more words in the same space jockeying for top spot.

So was the rest of us.

Some of us are better at multitasking.

It's a wordle. It maps all the words in Trump's speech. The large a word is, the more often it was used. Obviously, he used will a lot.

The shapes are meaningless, just cute.

I'm pretty independent when it comes to politics and saw both conventions. I have to say, there was 1000 times more substance, organization of the presentations, and powerful speeches that came from the DNC convention.

I cannot understate how drastic the two conventions were. The GOP platform of fear and division is extremely old and quite simply, people are just tired of it. The DNC's message was one of togetherness was effective and inspires people.

Objectively, at the end of the day, people are just more receptive to being inspired rather than focusing on each others differences. This difference alone is enough to give the democrats another 4 years in the white house. And, the GOP's response is we don't care and we're going to continue to do the same. The GOP's tactics do not work, but they refuse to recognize this downfall and will continue to lose national elections because of it.

I didn't hear any fear or division at the GOP. I heard a lot of gloom and doom from the DNC.

To each their own.

Is there a website that will compare the two... the DNC and RNC convention content? I'd be interested in knowing which one used more "doom and gloom" words, versus words that were positive in nature.

The Democrats seemed to be pretty negative, considering that one of their own has been in charge the past 8 years.

This is actually pretty comical that you didn't see fear or division at the RNC. The gloom and doom is about Trump and his poor track record personal track record. Outside of Trump's wrap sheet, the DNC focused on bringing different people together while the RNC was focused on how Black Lives Matters are destroying us, Middle East is worst than ever, our allies are freeloaders, and ISIS is coming after you. Where is the positive part about the RNC platform again?
