Official 2016 Democratic National Convention Thread

[Dusty Bake Activate]

How? What could he possibly say? "Remember all those principles I told you to fight for during the primaries? Yeah bush that, we with her now. "

Trump and those leaks really put him in a tough situation. Either kiss the ring and sell out your revolution as a fraudulent scam, or stick to your principles and pull a Ted Cruz. I'm going to be watching Bernie's speech very closely, it will be fukkery either way.

Trump is playing this masterfully.

It's not gonna be fukkery and he won't pull a Ted Cruz. He's going to talk about his principles and the importance of his movement and brag on it, then he's gonna shyt on Trump, then he's gonna endorse Hillary and tell people to vote for her.

What do you mean Trump is playing this masterfully? He's not running against Bernie and nobody really cares what he tweets about Bernie. If anything he's gonna look silly when Bernie rejects his overtures and tells his supporters to vote for Hillary. Trump's Bernie angle isn't going to change any poll numbers or votes either way.

 

[Batter Up]

DWS is such a spineless and useless embarrassment.


She knew she'd get bood out of the building even before the e-mail leaks and was looking for a way out. Seeing her soul get crushed on stage would have been the highlight of the entire convention.

I suppose I could settle for Bernie shytting on her followed by her forced resignation

If he doesn't pull a Ted Cruz he's openly shytting on his very loyal supporters who fought for him and were just vindicated in their accusations of collusion and corruption within the DNC. I don't see how he can explain away the leaks.

What principles can he possibly talk about? Getting money out of politics? Hillary has a vastly bigger warchest than Donald, and her team has even looked at branding him as "Poor Donald" because of this campaign's lack of funds. Making trade deals better for average Americans? Trump has been railing on shytty trade deals for 25 years and it's one of the cornerstones of his campaign. Hillary couldn't even bring herself to reject the TPP until the Dem primary was over, and she just picked a VP candidate who was caping for TPP last week. Political corruption? Both Trump and Bernie have been talking about a rigged system since the primaries, and the DNC leak just confirmed their suspicions. I don't think Hillary has even acknowledged the issue.

The only thing Bernie can shyt on Trump for is being too mean. The Democrats strategy is to turn this election into a referendum on politeness and away from actual policy. If Bernie gets up there and starts in on how Trump is too mean to be President, he'll look like a damn fool and betray the actual issues his campaign was fighting for.

Trump is playing this masterfully because he knows this election is about turnout, so if he can drive a wedge in the Democratic coalition by making progressives disgusted with the Democratic establishment, he can depress turnout and will have a shot at the White House.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Man, I'm so tired of this it was rigged shyt. She got more votes. People actin like Bernie got more of the popular vote and Hills just got delegates. No, she got more votes

I cant wait for Warren and Biden's speeches

Trump gonna sue someone after those

 

[BucciMane]

Warren is an awful speaker, and she would have gotten smoked in a debate.

Cry about college tuition, and take a $300,000 payment for one college course, brehs..

We'll see what Bernie does for his speech, but goofy Elizabeth Warren is beyond an absolute joke that's accomplished nothing.

Dream Team

Where is Dicaprio and Clooney, I want some stars that will make fun of Chachi

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

I just wanna see someone rush on on TYT's stage again so I can see Ana go into rage mode one more time

 

[Trip]

could Bernie be a bigger sellout?

you give trump too much credit. bernie is handling this smoothly. he just wants DWS out at this point.

 

[dtownreppin214]

i wonder if this will affect her primary race against Canova.

 

[CACtain Planet]

looks like it might be over for her.

You and @GzUp can go ahead and take your L...while we at it, #TrumpSet was right all along



:trumpmad:

Has to. Especially the questioning his faith part I would think.

Lol Bernie can't just come out and talk about how DWS should step down. Tax breaks, minimum wage and climate change are his best bets if he doesn't want to come across as a fraud, but it's not a clean sell. Hillary and Kaine are no eco warriors, Hillary supports fracking and Kaine supports offshore drilling. The claim that Trump is against raising the minimum wage is outdated, as he's subsequently said:






Trump hints at middle ground on minimum wage

In a May interview, CNN's Wolf Blitzer tried to get him to clarify his stance, noting that "you cannot live on $7.25 an hour." Trump, notably, did not disagree.

"I'm actually looking at that. I'm very different from most Republicans. I mean, you have to have something you can live on," Trump said. He then added, "Now, if you play around too much with the lower level, you are not going to be competitive."

Pressed by Blitzer on what the rate ought to be, Trump didn't directly respond but said that he was "open to doing something with it." He then reiterated that what he really wanted was jobs that paid "much more" than $15.

I still think Bernie will come out and tow the party line by making it a referendum on Trump's personality, but he's in a very awkward position.

The Dems clearly don't realize how bad this is and how this will not go away if Hillary is the nom. He will bang and bang away at this everyday. He would be dumb not to. This type of shyt will actually see the Republicans as less corrupt as the Democrats to some ppl. Handing over the rust belt on a silver platter.
