The [presidential election] is done with conventions

Elki

Thanks to God and the concept time for making that happen.

Talk here about Clinton, Trump, and I guess those other two what'stheirnames if you feel like yelling at clouds is a good use of your time.

Don't be a dick, no cares about your facebook, this is not a twitter dump. Enjoy.

Trump recalled telling a friend this week that he wanted to retaliate against the people who slammed him at the convention, mentioning current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by name.

"I was going to say that de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of the city, but I didn't say it," Trump said to laughs. "He's a terrible mayor. I was going to say that, but now I won't say it."

Trump said his friend, who he labeled a "very great governor," urged him to stay focused on attacking Clinton, not other Democrats.

"He said, 'Don't hit there. Don't hit down. You have one person to beat. It's Hillary Rodham Clinton,'" Trump recalled, adding that he initially objected to the advice. "I said, 'But I really want to. I don't like what they're saying because a lot of it is lies. Not all of it but a lot of it is.' I said, 'I just really ... it makes me feel good.' "

Ultimately, he said, he conceded and decided not to launch into verbal assaults against the Democrats.

"But every once in a while I still wake up, I say 'boy, I wanna,'" Trump said, growling as he stopped himself from saying more. "Someday!"

Pretty sure that would be an unfair advantage for Trump

Oh, this is one of the speeches I missed because the twitch feed went backstage to show Corey Booker and Chloe Moretz.

Okay so I had to DVR, just getting to Hillary, but seriously getting Morgan "Voice of God" Freeman to narrate her intro video is cheating.

Hillary was really good, but I would wait until you can watch Chelsea and the Morgan Freeman intro video and then Hillary all together.

It's ironic in a way, but it's very likely disenfranchised republicans are going to be a driving force putting Hilary Clinton in office. Bizzaro political world indeed.

I'm taking minus points from Jamelle for retweeting Scott Adams, because I don't need to see that shit.

So I know it's a shitty way to sample people but sixty percent of cnn voters said this speech made them more likely to vote for Clinton.

Thirty ish said as likely. To me, that seems like an important number, more so than just who liked it.

CNN now quoting various conservatives who liked it, at least the message if not the policy. Including one who didn't even want their name revealed.

CNN instant poll, these are partisan as more Ds watch the DNC and more Rs watch the RNC

https://twitter.com/cmanduley/status/758884996845142017

71% very positive (57% for Trump) 15% positive
60% more likely to vote
82% right direction (73% for Trump)

But how many minutes of applause were there?
