    Sorry, I ignore anything from breitbart and from drudge, just as you should ignore anything from dailykos... but keep crying wolf, perhaps you'll come up with something for her re-election bid.

    That's what you don't get.

    Its not a Breitbart sourced piece.

    Its a compilation of stories from Liberal leaning sources. If you don't trust Breitbart, then click the associated links or Google it yourself.

    Unless of course you believe all those news organizations listed are "crying wolf".

    DNC Convention should be renamed to DNC House Nig*as Convention. And it's not racists because that's how democrats are being treated and you folks are obliging.

    I guess this is the depths republicans/conservatives go to when their partisan arguments fail...

    Did you actually read them or did you stop at the Breitbart provided titles that don't appear anywhere in the pieces.

    The uranium piece for example, read it. What's particularly interesting is the part where it says multiple agencies and Canada approved the deal and that decision at the state department wasn't a secretary level decision. But NEATO title Breitbart. You got Breitbarted.

    He can't actually read it. He's been programmed to see breitbart and have a pavlov response just like the dog he is. party members have been well trained their masters and they love their doggie biscuits.

    as a definition of a word yes but not as a movement. personally i'm very "liberal/free" on social issues but i don't agree overall with the liberal movement if that makes sense. i use my brain to pick and choose what seems right and what makes sense to me based on sound reason and logic.

    This guy doesn't live in the world, sirbaihu. He lives in an artificial construct fabricated entirely from his very active imagination. You shouldn't expect him to make any sense. It's the only way to understand him. ;-)-

    A thought on conventions in general:

    There has been quite a bit of focus on displays of "party unity" regarding both the RNC and DNC. In both cases, displays of some degree of disunity (rules fight and Cruz at RNC, heckling at DNC) were discussed as negatives to the party.

    I am thinking maybe the disunity isn't strictly a negative.

    Both parties' conventions have become more scripted "unity" events in the last couple decades, avoiding the kind of fights that conventions used to have in the past. At the same time, the "convention bounce" that candidates receive over the more recent elections have grown smaller. This doesn't prove causation, but maybe scripted "unity" (i.e., boring) conventions are not necessarily effective conventions for motivating voters?

    With all the stuff at the RNC this year, Trump got a moderate bounce in line with recent history. GOP leaning voters watched the convention and got a little more motivated to vote (or at least respond to opinion polls). In the absence of something much more than just what happened in Day 1 of the DNC, I am thinking that something similar will happen to Clinton also.
