In other words no, you not know any American conservatives and are just kibitzing out of ignorance.

I can tell you that one of the dirty tricks the emails talked about was circulating the rumor that the Sanders campaign was in disarray... you know, like you're doing to the Dems here.

And you believe them, even though polls are notoriously unreliable. I guess Britain is still in the EU based on the polls.

You mean 60 - 70% of all the self identified conservatives polled, don't you?

Yes you think they were pretending?
Is David Duke a conservative?
During the Republican National Convention, Cleveland officials put barricades up and prepared to handle mass arrests of protesters. News outlets suggested that protests might resemble those at the infamous 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
However, contrary to expectations, the crowds were small (apart from a large presence of reporters). And perhaps more surprisingly, the demonstrators who were there were not necessarily focused on the Republican Party.
...
As expected, many demonstrators (16 percent) came to support or oppose Donald Trump. But more (23 percent) said their primary concern was speaking out about racism or racial inequality.
...
Less than 5 percent of the participants said their goal was to change the Republican Party’s nomination or position on an issue. The majority said they were there to express solidarity, hoped to change public opinion on an issue, or felt obligated to speak out on an issue. This finding contradicts the conventional wisdom that people who demonstrate outside the convention would be targeting what goes on inside the convention.

Why are the protests at the Republican Convention so small?
It will be interesting to compare the protests at the DNC to the protests at the RNC.

Funny thing, larger and angrier demonstrations by Democrats at the DNC than there were at the RNC.
But the Democratic leadership says, 'All is well, nothing to see here.'

That is the difference - the media will spin as far as they can to make the DNC convention 'positive', the opposite of what the did for the RNC. Can you imagine the news cycle if Priebus had been forced out the day before the DNC after being caught trying to rig the election.
