Surprise, surprise.

I’m not watching, and am not even sure if I can stand to watch the commentary afterwards.

The DNC was so nourishing.

Who are these people? I thought Trump promised a light and uplifting theme, but this is straight outta carnage and has Steven Miller's greasy fingerprints all over it.

Did Alexa have an answer? Have we gone thru a wormhole into an alternate dimension? (It sure feels like it.)

this bullshit would do it.

I can't even imagine how their ignorant rubes will sit through 4 days of this same-old-same-old.

Your posts about puppies and kittens are a big reason I am a fan of DU.

Please do not give up! Trump is a di**, and more than a majority of likely voters know that. He will lose on November 3, but if any of us give up, he might not.

For that reason alone, please hang with us until November 3. Without you, DU is a lesser place for me!

WE WILL GET THERE!!!!!!

I am not watching the Fatso/Infector-in-Chief at the RNC so as to not give him higher ratings.

I am so glad that you are a part of DU....I am sure you know that!
