2016 Democratic National Convention - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - July 25-28

Yeah, no. When he frees slaves and keeps the union intact, then maybe.

It is, however, better than 2008

It is, but there is a lot of hurt and its not filtered to many. I am just thinking about the undecideds in the parts of the rust belt who do not trust the directions things have gone. The economy hasn't been a boom for everyone, and a good portion of American's feel that way.

He can't talk down his presidency. He will mention how it can be "better still" though.

I'm hoping he does, I think you have to counter populism by telling people "Yeah, things haven't filtered down and we need to change that."

Or something, but I am almost exclusively, and to some people frustratingly, labour focused.

[Crissi]

... Sand there's the heckler. Stfu dude and respect the president

[alexw]

If Hillary pledged that right now I'd vote for her, and swear to never criticize her again in English, Welsh, Either of the Gaelics I have passing fluency in and Spanish. Only in maybe Esperanto........

If she is going to she can't do it now. It would have to be some months in. Too much political risk to suggest Obama as a SCOTUS judge right now.

Uggh some rude idiot......

There is "more work to be done," is an easy way to build on a successful presidency.

[Theodarzna]

I hate the TPP dude, I'm there with you and absolutely 100% full stop want it dead but your at an 11, be a 6

[Stommped]

And republicans themselves admitted the whole Benghazi thing was overblown and spent hell a lot of money in it to found little to nothing and that little could be done. Nonetheless she did showed competence and adopted the sugestions made to preven similar situations.

You must not have watched the RNC

Pretty much how its going to be. But IMO democrats really really need a full sweep. There's a lot of stuff which needs to be done and the party of no will just block everything if they get the chance to. Repubs are no longer a party of sound governance. Fortunately Trump may just give it to the dems.

[Rukh]

Don't boo, vote. What a line.

[Crissi]

Don't boo, vote.

Lol I love it

[apepi]

Clinton always looks like he is always chewing gum, he must have met Payton somewhere along the way.

[Sky High]

"Trump"
/boos
"don't boo, vote"

Definitely. The Senate will pretty likely switch given a Clinton win. The House will be tough. Generic polls has the Dems at +3% in the House. Unfortunately, due to gerrymandering, the Dems need just over a 4% margin to make the switch to Democratic control likely.

You do know Lincoln would have kept slavery if it meant keeping the union intact right? "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."

[apepi]

Hillary has worked extensively with the FBI.

Argument is off topic so won't get into it, but I've studied that era for over 20 years. I'm well aware of every single argument on him ever

If it was anyone but Trump I'd say it would not happen but with him..... well I'm eagerly awaiting the debates and Trumps insanity and stupidity being put on full view on prime time TV.

Not watching atm but I can assume they must mean vote for Trump right? "Don't boo and whilst you're at it vote democrat because we are telling you so" seems like a bit of a shitty line to me.

What do you think is the purpose of a convention?

I'm eagerly awaiting the debates too, but I'm eagerly waiting clinton to talk publicly instead of hiding and hopefully if she does its ran by people that aren't biased to her. Also the pandering to bernie supporters is cringe worthy now, they know they're losing them
