Which is a pretty big indictment for M'urica today mind you.

Absolutely, but that's nothing new.

No republican has ever won the presidency without carrying Ohio.
The morning of the convention, trumps manager goes on national television and trashes the highly popular governor of Ohio (the same governor who destroyed trump in the Ohio primary), which also happens to be the state that is hosting the convention.
This is political malpractice.

True, but everytime I feel like Im ready to accept it, it finds new ways to make me glad I left and moved to Canada. And believe me, when I did move, I did NOT want to move to Canada.

The response to Melania's speech is highly amusing. Y'all and the media are unhinged. Do you not believe she did it or not believe she did anything wrong? In all likelihood, someone did it. I'm just amused by the reaction. I'd say that it has an air of desperation to it, but none of you think that Trump can win, anyway.

The cop who used excessive force against the Indian old man got off. I'm really surprised by this one, looked unreasonable and unjustified and what baffles me is how the jury (made of ordinary people) didn't see that.

If Michelle had included a 20 digit string of numbers in the middle of her speech and Ivanka had copied that exact string of numbers in the same order Sean Spicer would be there explaining how it didn't mean one was a copy of the other because he did a google search for the number 7 and it appears in countless other locations.

From other commentary, it was the DA that didn't really push the case in that one. Not sure how accurate that is.
