Democratic Party Convention General Thread

[estesbob]

New York Times is reporting that Bloomberg will endorse Clinton/Kaine during a prime time address at the convention. Link

No surprise there-the democrat party is the party of Wall Street.

If Ted Cruz hadn’t given a speech, Americans wouldn’t have seen Republicans in such disarray. Democrats are far more united than Republicans. Just look at the endorsements. Or in the case of the Republicans, lack there of as the case may be.

Yes republicans tolerate dissent-Democrats dont. Which is SOP for a Party that believes people are too stupid to know what is best for them. They coronated Hillary 8 years ago and via their House of Lords(super delegates) and a biased DNC Sanders never had a chance.

Yep I just heard that before coming onto CAF, SC. They said has to be a blow to the Trump camp right on the heels of their convention. Is it true Bloomberg hasn’t been a Democrat in 15 yrs!

Didn’t seem to tolerate Ted Cruz all that well.

I am not sure how much impact this will have. Michael Bloomberg is not that influential outside of NYC and it is not like New York was ever really in play.

He is a liberal who posed as a Republican just like Rudy Giuliani.

Oh I thought Donald Trump thought it was.

I thought the DNC was supposed to be non-partisan with the candidates. In this case they supported Hillary from the git-go and did everything they could to demean Bernie.

Pretty much the same thing the RNC did and is still doing.The difference is The Dems voters’ will unite around HC even if they can’t stomach her.Whereas,we have a segment of the Republican voting base who refuse to vote for Trump,even if it means giving HC an edge.

What?

 

[anon67074017]

What?

Rudy Giuliani is more like a Democrat than a Republican. It is the same with Michael Bloomberg.

Not really. Giuliani is a conservative.

I knew the economy and stock market usually does better under Democrats.

You’ve got to be kidding. On what do you base your statement?

Sounds like both sets of voters will just be following Ted Cruz’s suggestion to vote our consciences even though that idea was booed at the RNC.

I base it on his views on same-sex marriage and abortion.

The fact that the Republicans have not helped the middle class is the reason for Trump’s rise in the party.

The middle class doesn’t really think Obama has helped them out these 7 years. If they did you wouldn’t see the following:

If your desire is to help the Stock Market though, you don’t want Trump to win the election. The Market hates the unpredictable, and Trump, if nothing else, is unpredictable.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz needs to go. Badly

Amen to that!

Tuesday members of Mothers of the Movement will be speaking. This will give needed attention to police violence against Black citizens.

Speakers from the group will support the Democratic candidate …, including Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner; Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin; Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontré Hamilton; Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis; Lezley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown; Cleopatra Pendleton-Cowley, mother of Hadiya Pendleton; and Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland.

It’s a step in the right direction, and it brings some rejuvenating energy to supporters of BLM. It’s especially refreshing after last week’s relentless chants of all lives matter, which did nothing but demonstrate that Trump and his supporters merely wish to deflect the conversation away from institutional injustices experienced by Blacks.
