Hillary's Big Night Coming Up

Hillary finally ends our short national nightmare in Philly. i am still loving this from Wild Bill:

 ‘She’s the best darn changemaker I ever met’

Really? I didn't realize Bill paid his women. Still, that endorsement would be compelling if we were electing a toll booth operator, or even a subway token clerk (do they still have tokens?). And maybe it lends credence to the notion that Hillary understands how changing technology has made many occupations obsolete.

Maybe.

Then again, as skilled artists of the second-oldest profession, Bill and Hillary surely are skilled at taking folding money and returning change, so maybe we should take Bill at his word. First time for everything.

I couldn't stomach watching one second of the "historic night", GUS.

--Porchlight, You know what is sick and sad, is that CHELSEA CLINTON, grew up inside a cesspool.--

Thought that was a reference to Hillary's uterus at first.

[GUS]

Rich, Thank you friend.

How has the GOP done ANYTHING for US or AMERICA??

[Porchlight]

Here's Bill during Chelsea's speech, looking about to drop dead. Thought it was slow motion but the guy next to him - Chelsea's husband - blinks in regular time.

>>>Incidentally, per RCP, Suffolk did not poll PA at all in 2012, and this Clinton +9 effort is their first poll this cycle.

Bzzzzt.

Thanks for the poll link but not sure I am enough of a poll nerd to dig into the various counties. If Trump were to win PA it will be a blow out and the GOP will need to rethink its "what went wrong n 2012" navelgazing.

Gus-

Reagan? Although the make play conservative George Will thought Armageddon was around the corner if he were nominated. Coming up with not much ...

And here's Bill falling asleep during Hillary's speech:

Doom. I went to bed early, but looks like Slick got more sleep.

A week from Tuesday we have our Ryan v Nehlen primary. Turnout forecast at 9%. Talk radio (still mostly #NeverTrump) is has been attacking Nehlen lately. They might be worried. I see more "Hillary for Prison" signs than signs for either Ryan or Nehlen. No Ryan signs at all.

[Miss Marple 2]

Speaking of falling asleep, I went out to watch the convention on Fox Business. Sat in the recliner, fell asleep, and woke up at 2AM. Slept right through both Chelsea and Hillary's speeches!

Must have been divine intervention!

Now I will go see if there are any interesting articles.

[henry]

MissM, you have that in common with Slick! ;)

[Miss Marple 2]

henry,

LOL!

Trump, however, was wide awake! No naps for him!

"Moments" after, guys! Unprecedented! LOL!

[James D.]

I didn't watch one second of the DNC last night.

5 seconds of Hillary screeching in a clip on the morning news was enough to make my physically ill.

How on Earth can anyone stand to look at/listen to her for more than that? Even her husband can't!

[Miss Marple 2]

Not only Slick, But Kaine, too! (You will have to right click.)

[squaredance]

JD: yes it is sheer torture: America's Mother in law.

(And I am surprised that that moniker has not caught on yet--probably all those other mother in laws out there.)

But, pace Moynihan, I have felt this about every Dem "speaker" since Bill Clinton came to power. Vipers all.

I will say that I have not managed to listen all the way through to one Obama speech; I rely on places like JOM to give me the real time take, and then read them later. even then, I have to watch my blood pressure--sometimes I cannot get through it in one sitting.

Each and every one of these people is a study in creepy, deceitful, narcissistic psychopathy.

[Rip Van Wrinkle in Time]

Wow! I just caught Kaine sleeping again by stopping the video Porchlight linked above at the 6 second mark (the basis for Miss Marple's pic based on the ABC logo). Holy shit, he fell asleep again at the 7 second mark! Oh man at the 11 second mark too! AHA and at the 15 second mark!

HOW MANY NAPS DID KAINE TAKE DURING HILLARY'S SPEECH! PROBABLY DOZENS!!! BUSTED!

Still photos are fun to make accusations with, right Laura 'heil Hitler!' Ingrham?

[Captain Hate]

the GOP will need to rethink its "what went wrong n 2012" navelgazing.

Anybody dumb enough to be asking that needs to be tossed in the chipper. Let's get the "Kick the Uniparty in the Balls" campaign/party started, Trump.

[Captain Hate]

JD: yes it is sheer torture: America's Mother in law.

(And I am surprised that that moniker has not caught on yet--probably all those other mother in laws out there.)

I liked my mother in law. Crazy ex girlfriend is more like it; or just an unlikeable unbalanced relative who being around is very off putting.

[Miss Marple 2]

I think she should be called America's Guidance Counselor or America's Dean of Girls.

CH,

I seem to remember they or one of their counterpart lefties was caught using the Black Sea fleet to sub for our own Navy. Maybe it was in a leftie Media or something like that.

Buc will know the incident.

Appalled,

I guessed why you chose those two states, but the MSM is cherrypicking to support their "OMG Trump is even losing in deep red states" narrative.

Utah: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ut/utah_trump_vs_clinton-5834.html

Georgia:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ga/georgia_trump_vs_clinton-5741.html

Granted, RCP doesn't show Trump ahead in PA. But PPP was right on the money in PA in 2012 and they have it at Clinton +4. And unlike UT and GA, PA is a genuine swing state. But we will see.

[Beasts of England]

I knew that reading about Herself's speech on JOM was going to be snarktastic, but I wasn't prepared for the breast milk comment!! Brava, Clarice! :)

2 points from a Prager/Metaxas discussion in 2014 -

*speaking up while we still can - Metaxas raised Bonhoeffer & Germany & how the ability to speak out against evil became harder & harder & harder. Polite silence is a LOSER strategy.

and

*this is AMERICA...we can think & say whatever we want. We all should really be outraged at any attempt to silence the exchange of ideas.
Speak up. Take action. Begin NOW.

"Likely voters", and the ones that actually show up to vote are two different things.

I don't remember an election with this kind of enthusiasm gap in favor of Republicans, maybe 1972.

Secret Service going to force young black guys to vote? They hate the bitch.

Stll making no predictions, anything can happen in the 100 days between now and the election.

Re GA, I doubt any state has more southern baptists per capita than GA. That southern baptist Cruz finished 3rd in GA behind quasi mainline Presbyterian Trump and Catholic Rubio was a huge indication IMO that Cruz' evangelical pose was viewed as unauthentic and he had zero chance of winning in November.

[Miss Marple 2]

On Twitter, Wikileaks is taking a poll on the presidential race. Right now the votes are Trump - 43, Hillary -23, Stein -19, Johnson -15.

I find it interesting that they are setting up a poll. I wonder if they have detected something with the polling companies.

[Captain Hate]

UNEXPECTEDLY

Those mewling cowards are petrified that Trump will call them out in a presser for being consistently wrong and always in the same direction. Tammy Bruce pointed out last night how the GOP has consistently avoided confrontation even when the facts are on their side; she said she noticed this back when she was still aligned with the left. These pussy boys and girls (except for Palin) have cleared the deck for Trump whether or not their coddlers want to admit it.

[DebinNC]

More re GA, in 2014 GA dems found the perfect candidate for the open Senate seat - Sen. Sam Nunn's daughter Michelle Nunn, head of the Points of Light Foundation. Lots of goodwill remaining from the Nunn name and respect for Points of Light, but she was beaten by David Perdue, a businessman with no political experience or name recognition. The "R" beside his name was enough.

[Beasts of England]

That's perfect, JiB! Although I was expecting a blonde. :)

One of the things I most admire about Trump is that he will not back down. How long have we waited for this?

I am not naturally prone to stand up to confrontation, but at least I shot back yesterday at my sister!

Excellent, Beasts!!

"When you speak out, you encourage others to speak out."

Maybe the best some can muster is -
'I just can't abide the corrupt Clintons'

.....well, that's plenty good!!

Maybe it is time to look at the Clinton crew that is going to come WITH Hillary, like they did at State.

Sid, Cheryl, Huma, Brian Pagliano (is he gonna be the POTUS IT specialist?), ....

That whole slimy crew is gonna be moving into the White House if Hillary is elected.

Wish someone would ask Hillary if she'd pledge not to steal the WH furniture this time. Or allow her grifter bros to move in. Or rent out the Lincoln Bedroom.

"these pussy boys and girls (except for Palin) have cleared the deck for Trump whether or not their coddlers want to admit it"

I believe how the GOPe mishandled the TeaParty was their Trump downfall. Not that Trump is a TeaParty candidate, but GOPe suppressed a legitimate reform movement and lack of reform led to teh Donald.

[Janet the expert]

Yeah, Deb!

Will ANY reporter ask her is she is gonna set up a private server again?

Will she be running Clinton Foundation business out of the White House like she did at State?

[Captain Hate on the iPhone]

Yes, boris, they were thrown a lifeline by the Tea Party and acted like they attained control of congress by being donk lite. Why Kristol and company remain blind to this is very frustrating.

[Beasts of England]

The current Drudge photo is just scary...

[DebinNC]

If I hadn't watched with my not-lying eyes years of Pelosi and Reid running rings around GW, Ryan/Boehner/McConnell's paralysis might be understandable, if not excusable. Unfortunately, the sad and inexcusable truth is the R leadership sat at the feet of masters and learned nothing.

The GOPe also suppressed a legitimate concern over 1/3 of the eligibility requirements being trampled.

And paved the way for a birther to run the country.

I think it is ironic that the choice in 2008 was between two candidates who clearly were not eligible and this year the choice is between two birthers.

I miss DoT.

[Buckeye]

I think both the GOPe giving the Tea Party the back of their hand, and the Dems treating white, blue collar heterosexual males as "nobodies" explains a lot of Teh Donald.

I am sympathetic to both groups.

Been meaning to ask.

What was the verdict with your eyes??

[Threadkiller]

Thanks, Buckeye.

They were fully cleared up by Tuesday. I really cut back on using a small screen for my interneting.

Being a stupid guy, I haven't seen the doctor yet. It has been a busy week, but that is not a good excuse. My my wife is taking over, so an appointment will be made.

I notice that when I use off-the-shelf reading glasses (that don't correct for astigmatism) for a long time, particularly staring at my iPad, it causes real problems.

If I hop in the car right after a long iPad session and drive with my sunglasses which correct for slight near-sighted condition and my astigmatism, I can't focus well on anything for 10-30 minutes.

Especially since those "nobodies" have been the backbone of this country for over 200 years.

Along with that goes the snootiness of "college degrees", as if the vast majority of those degrees are useless and are only held by some like 25 to 30% of the population. Their attempt to diminish all other knowledge other than what can be got in a classrooms has been a disaster for the nation. What have we got for it?
High frequency trading? Better ad placement for Google, et al.

Most of these people sneering at "white males" could not profitable run a hot dog cart in Times Square.

[Threadkiller]

I wear glasses all the time, Buckeye. They correct for both astigmatism and near-sight.

If I take them off round shapes immediately look oval and my brain slowly corrects them to a round, but blurred, shape.

If I leave them off for some time while swimming, when I put them on round shapes present themselves as oval along the opposite axis.

I remember a study where college kids wore glasses that inverted the image. After a certain period of time the image became normal in appearance. When they took the glasses of everything appeared upside-down.

[Buckeye]

Speaking of Google Ads, Trump is consistently popping up to the top of my promotional emails on my Google email account.

[Old Lurker]

Eye-Brain is a funny thing.

I am near sighted and also require reading glasses.

For many years now I have worn soft contacts which correct for astigmatism in both eyes.

One eye is tuned for distance vision and the other for closeup reading.

After a couple of days to train the brain, I find my vision just fine for near and far unless I have a lot of small print work to do. Then I wear reading glasses over the contacts which are tuned to combine with each contact to create very good close vision.

Not rocking that boat because it seems to work fine for me.

[Buckeye]

TK

I only wear glasses when reading. I have a pair of prescription reading glasses that are varifocus that I don't like, so I just wear drugstore readers. Chinese junk no doubt.

I may try using drugstore sunglasses to see if I can focus better after a long session with the readers on.

I have prescription long distance glasses, but don't really need them.

[Buckeye]

Vision thing is frustrating....getting old sucks.

When I was young, had far better than 20/20.

Was a lot better trap shooter at 16 than I am now!

Stephanie,

Burge needs a history or engineering-construction lesson.

Hoover dam was built in less than 5 years and only cost $47 million in 1936 dollars or close to $800 million today. But there were as many deaths on that job as those associated with the Clintons.

Should have compared it to the Big Dig and he would have had a more relevant timeline and cost.
