Ps it's against t&c to call someone a shill.
I'll tell you this once I am not on anyone's payroll. I do not work for correct the record.

I see you defending yourself against this accusation all the time.

The problem is a lot of the time there is no accusation of shill to be defended against.


Here is what JinMI said.

Thanks for correcting the record silly.

Glad to know a spot on her tongue is indicative to hard work...

No where did he even insinuate you are a shill. Yet you felt the need to defend yourself.

You do this a LOT!

Me thinks thou doth protest to much.

Okay...the Convention is over....

Let's not turn this into a bickering, name-calling, putting down each party discussion....so keep it civil....and on topic.

We expect civility and decorum within all topics.

You are responsible for your own posts.




and, as always:

Do NOT reply to this post!!

So much emotional investment in Donald Trump!! If the neocons want Clinton to carry on the corporate oligarchy, then that's what we will get. Both conventions were fantastic entertainment but ultimately just bread and circus for the masses.

I lost total confidence in the election system back in 2000 when Gore won the general election but we got Bush. Have you forgotten that?

I know it's comforting to think your votes matter but .....really? And if trashing the other party is some sort of cathartic BS, carry on....Big Brother is watching!!

With the nomination now secured at this conventiom it's a good time to reflect on the aftermath

- dncleaks uncovered a concerted effort by the DNC to block Bernie Sanders and favour Clinton
- dncleaka showing collusion between the DNC and the MSM
- 11 states with voter fraud lawsuits
- Clinton let off an indictment and called incompetent by the FBI
- 1 DNC staffer dead in an unfortunate coincidence just prior to testifying in relation to Clintons email scandal
- Another dead UN official who unfortunately dropped a bar bell on his throat just before attending court relating to illegal payments which allegedly ended up in the Clinton Foundation through an intermediary
- Sanders voters blocked from taking their seats at the convention and credentials revoked as well as anti Hillary signs confiscated
- Actors paid to take seats and make the venue look full after all the Bernie supporter ejections
- A mass walk out of over 1,000 delegates not reported by the MSM
- Mass protests outside the DNC conference not covered by the MSM
- MSM picking up and hammering home political spin about Russian spying in order to cover DNC corruption

Just another Clinton campaign I guess

So I noticed everyone wearing American Flag pins..where was Hillary's? Oh and...

The flag just missed Huma...and she completely ignored it.
Shouldn't one of them have tried to keep it from hitting the ground?
True patriots.

Philly police claim very few arrests during DNC, yet stories of mass detention are coming out.

Mass detention centers where after a time people are released without any charges.

The illusion of unity must be maintained at any cost.

A lot of the stories leaking out should deeply concern every US citizen!

LOL

The Democrat Party in action.

We can trust them for our future !!!!

So last night I finally understood a long overused phrase that seemed cryptic to me in the past:

The revolution will NOT be televised.

In other words, the Bernie revolt and the general disarray of everything outside the convention center was conveniently ignored and overshadowed by the MSM.

THAT's what that quote means.

On the scene people told me that over 50 people were arrested/detained on the first night.

Thank you for posting this- truly amazing what the DNC have done in collusion with authorities to enforce 'unity' and the MSM to cover up any loose ends.

This really is the work of Nazi's

You are right- we're closer to the Hunger Games society than we know.

This is very interesting from the Economist...
it shows Presidential nomination speeches since 1980 and measures the positivity/negativity based on the words used through the speech.

Keep in mind that the MSM called Trump's speech 'dark' and negative and even one pundit called it 'disgusting'.
Hillary of course did not get the same attacks on her speech.



So what we can see is that Trump gave the most positive speech in nearly 40 years - laying out the problems at the start which you can see in the timeline before ramping up to reach a positive crescendo at the end. It was a perfect shape to a speech.

Clinton's however was poorly structured with just the same mix the whole way through using less positivity than Trump.
Don't you just love the MSM and the drones that parrot them ?

Trump stated on Jan 20, 2017, the violence in neighborhoods, terrorism and violence against police stops. I doubt it would be done by requesting that everyone be "nice".

Here's mine from The Economist.

FEW party-convention speeches have differed more in tone than those given by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump over the past two weeks. They also stand out in comparison with their predecessors. The Economist calculated sentiment scores for every party-convention speech delivered by a presidential candidate since 1980, by counting the number of positive and negative words per sentence (as defined by this lexicon). We then applied a moving average to filter out some of the noise. By this metric, Mr Trump delivered the most negative speech in recent memory, warning that America was “at a moment of crisis”. (His speech only became sunnier near the end, as he shifted his focus to his family.) In contrast, Mrs Clinton gave one of the most level-headed speeches of the past four decades, choosing to stay mildly and uniformly positive. www.economist.com...

Almost as if positivity is a valid measure of a good speech. Telling someone they do not have cancer when they do is also positive, but we all know how that will end up.

It looks like Donald Trump is going to take the lead over Hillary Clinton this election – at least when it comes to how many people watched the last night of the Republican National Convention and how many watched the last night of the Democratic National Convention.

Donald Trump & RNC Top Hillary Clinton & Final Night Of DNC In Viewers

With figures in from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, the ex-Secretary of State’s historic acceptance speech as the first woman to be the Presidential nominee for a major American political party drew 27.8 million viewers.

Or to put that in percentile, last night’s DNC numbers on the broadcasters and top cable newers saw an 8% dip in total viewers from what the RNC snagged the week before. When you add on coverage on Fox Business Network CNBC, Univision and NBC Universo, the RNC figure goes up to 32.2 million

Less 13 million votes from #demexit.

At this rate looks like Clinton will have to STEAL the general election to win.

Exactly the same.
The data shows clearly that Trump's speech was more positive.
Ah, but the reporter says 'Trump gave one of the most negative speeches', whilst omitting he also gave THE most positive, whilst stating that Clinton was 'mildly and uniformly positive', whilst omitting she was also uniformly negative.
I ignore reporters and read the data - which says that only Ronald Reagan in 1980 reached the same level of positivity as Trump.
The data doesn't lie, reporters do.

So the outcome of the election is determined by an estimate of how many watched two evenings of TV.

If it were only that simple.
