Elections 2016 Democratic National Convention

[JudoThrowFiasco]

You're right. I was speaking too harshly and absolutely.

But I have no reason to believe Trump is actually a hardliner on reproductive rights or marriage equality, both of which Johnson has unenthusiastically conceded.

Johnson is worse in that he wants to enact massive privatization and the abolition of important social programs and economic institutions, and eliminate labor rights, as well as expand the prison industry. Ideologically, Johnson is far more radical than Trump.

But your viewing those as negatives through your political lenses. Moderate Republicans are in favor of those actions because it reduces our taxation and adds to our yearly salary. Johnson allows for the elimination of religious right initiatives while allowing to keep more of our earned income -- that is something us moderate right want and thus a reason we would go Johnson over trump and Clinton. So I'm not sure where your point that mod republicans would see Gary as a worse option -- he's objectively their best option -- not your best option.

As far as trump goes -- I'm more and more inclined to say he just wants to sit in the big chair. He said pence would deal with foreign an domestic affairs -- and that he will b incharge of making America great. That leads me to believe the actual trump platform will be about free trade, reduction in taxation, increase in domestic energy production and a slew of christian right social initiatives.

Is Bill trying to sell his marriage to a "best friend" really gonna hold up? President banging an intern? Classy AF, nothing says respecting your wife like cheating on her.

 

[SafeSpace]

are the dnc really worried about the black vote? Seem to be catering the convention towards it.

Democrats get trounced every time obama isn't on the ballot. This entire blm/racial stoking going on by the left is a desperate attempt to get them to show up to vote.

Moderate Republicans don't want to end labor rights, remove the minimum wage, end the Federal Reserve, and take our economy back to the 1800s.

Bill was feeling his oats there.

Mediocre speech IMO.

But still better than the two trick pony of the RNC: "Lock-her-up" and "Beware Radical Islam".

How about Bernie supporters chanting lock her up as well? Or?

 

[punkmother]

i wish trump were actually qualified to be president.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Bill still got it. He's a much different speaker than Obama. Like you're listening to a story.

 

[ILLogic]

How was my man Bill tonight? Did he kill it?

Too long. Had me like....

 

[Gandhi]

I'll take the Rick Roll please

Well that settles it

If you are talking about the black vote you could not be more wrong - anyway what are u talking about?

WJC's line about going to West Virginia and telling miners to join the ride into the future lol.

Can you please elaborate on what the question is so I can respond better?

I don't think Bill ever gave a short speech. He'd still be up there if given the chance.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Ok, I have no clue what the fuck that scream was Meryl.

Moderate Republicans don't want to end labor rights, remove the minimum wage, end the Federal Reserve, and take our economy back to the 1800s.

We do want substantially lower taxation and regulations. We do want reduction of drug laws and to not be tied to religious social dogma. We do want to cut government spending and social entitlements. You're right, we don't want as much labour reform but it's not an a la carte system of pick and choose -- it's pick the combo with the most benefits for that person and with the right pushing for more conservative christian values and the left pushing for more social funding - mod republicans view GJ as a very appealing option in the current climate

"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the ageof thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident ..."
