"Dem convention ratings top Trump’s Cleveland sh*t show three nights in a row

Donald Trump loves boasting about poll numbers and ratings — and that’s why it has to be especially humiliating for him to see his own convention get beat by this week’s Democratic National Convention.

CNN reports that viewership for Day 3 of the DNC was 15% higher than viewership for the third day of last week’s Republican National Convention.

What makes this even more humiliating for Trump is that this marks the third night in a row where the DNC has beaten the RNC in terms of ratings."; 7/28/16, 1:37 PM

"Dem convention ratings top Trump’s Cleveland sh*t show three nights in a row

This is serious stuff folks. It means Trump will lose for sure.

Think back to the ratings of the Rep convention in 1980 and 1984 vs the Dem conventions those years.

And even though the Dem ratings killed the Rep ratings, Reagan won landslide victories.

Trump should be worried. Very worried.; 7/28/16, 1:53 PM

Every time the media talks about Hillary's emails, a new set of Trump voters get their wings.

Jaq said...: By the way, regarding that awful Star Trek movie, I noticed something else besides the coordination of its message with Hillary's "Stronger Together" slogan.

There is a joke which is very true about Star Wars, they you can substitute "plot" for "Force" and it makes the same sense. "The time has come, Luke, to introduce you to the Dark Side of the plot..."

Well, in Star Trek, whenever somebody says "Captain!" Or in Bones' case "Jim!", it really means "Audience!" Then they tell him something he would only not know if he were a blithering idiot, not a Starship Captain.; 7/28/16, 2:09 PM

MadisonMan said...: The DA race in Dane County, up for a vote, is next week. I will vote against the incumbent, who was the prosecutor the one time I sat on a Jury. We voted for acquittal on all charges. He was abysmal.

I note that he plays the race card immediately, and often.; 7/28/16, 2:19 PM

I would at some point consider the purchase a copy of a self published collection.
The flower photos are pretty, but for me they lack the element of originality that the drawings possess.
Of course you could have never supported yourself in the style to which you've become accustomed as an artist, but it possible you may have been more fulfilled as a person had you chosen that path.; 7/28/16, 2:31 PM

eric said...: I wonder if Hillary's outfitt will match the background again?

Are they trying to obfuscate her weight by putting her all in one color and then making the background the same color so she will blend in?; 7/28/16, 4:08 PM

Hillary stays with him for these types of reasons.

She is very sexually attracted to his evil ways, means, performance of obviously-false-denials, and Satanism in general.; 7/28/16, 7:17 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Reagan the self-centered jerk, after being shot, could only think of himself, saying after the attempted assasination "honey, I forgot to duck."

Real men like Edward "Ted" Kennedy are able to care and think of others, hence Ted's love of Mary Jo Kopechne "jokes."

Ha ha ha, too bad so sad that dead bitch drown, she would have never starved with all the cum we fed her!

The irony is we thought we might drown her... in shit-stained cum!

Ha ha.

Let's go fuck her mom!

Ha ha.; 7/28/16, 7:29 PM
