Don't take too much glee in the Republican clown car ... next week is our turn

[SFnomad]

And there are some so-called Democrats out there that would like nothing more than to show the world that our clown car can look more ridiculous than their clown car.

[NWCorona]

1. Ours will be smooth by comparison.

[SFnomad]

22. Not quite such a smooth start, eh? n/t

[tonyt53]

2. I am in total agreement with you. There are others that think otherwise.

Some will be inside, but it will be tame when compared to what happens outside.

[Hortensis]

18. We don't have a clown car. Take a GOOD

look at the caliber, character, and personality of the 17 who piled in their car. The party is so extreme that normal, fairly sensible conservatives didn't step forward, except the very mediocre Bush product.

3. There are Democratic activists who don't like Clinton...

...but there are Republican LEADERS who don't like Trump. THAT's what's causing the problem.

[bluestateguy]

4. Our side has made some concessions to Bernie's people

Trump's people have conceeded nothing to supporters who voted 54% for other candidates.

Bernie has endrorsed Hillary. Kasich and Cruz have not endorsed their possible nominee.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Are you kidding me?

Ours will be a culmination and a celebration. What we are seeing in just day 1 from the Reps is absurd.

[phleshdef]

6. I think we will have another top notch, professional, low-drama convention.

[Hortensis]

19. Umhm. Like our dignified debates and their

bizarre reality-TV entertainment.

[nolabear]

7. If I was the DNC I'd be taking notes and making calls. Become as inclusive as possible.

Be adults. That's all it takes.

[DinahMoeHum]

8. Heh, next week will be a love-feast. . .

. . .even with the Bernie supporters around.

[PJMcK]

9. Thanks

Democrats across America appreciate your positive perspective!

Go Hillary! And vote a straight Democratic ticket.

[SFnomad]

11. It's called a reality check, some people need it ... I hope for a smooth convention n/t

[TexasBushwhacker]

10. None of our speakers will come close

the the bottom of the barrel embarrassment of Scott Baio. Not even close.

Where are the usual RWNJ celebrities? Kelsey Grammer, Ben Stein, Patricia Heaton?

[NCTraveler]

12. Our speakers will be excellent.

Of course there will be issues. We are Democrats. Get a bunch of us together and it's like hearding cats. We care. I think we are in for a great convention.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. Sorry, I'm taking a LOT of glee from the Repub convention

There may well be disagreements in ours, but we have professionals in it, starting with our nominee. Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump...hmmmmmm. Wonder which is stronger, not to mention sane?

[glennward]

14. We have a chance to show the country and world the stark difference between us and them. Sadly

there some among us with wounds they keep adding salt to and this will prevent our party from really coming together to capture the opportunity. I dream that we would only see signs and banners among those protesting in Philly that say "Stronger Together" or "Stronger America Together" "Come Together" "More Love" "More Jobs"
But I know it is only a dream.

[JHB]

15. Really? And what do you picture?

There's nothing on the Democratic side that can muster a clown car of this level.

Even a fart-in wouldn't rate as a Yugo compared to this.

[Hortensis]

21. Oh, dear. I forgot the fart-in. Still, I doubt

it'll make good TV, and we know what that means.

[treestar]

16. I don't agre at all

There is no circus that can compare to this anywhere. Ours will be professional.

[seabeyond]

17. Yes, we have an element that would like to do exactly the same. I was thinking as I was watching.

Bummer that.

[SaschaHM]

20. I'm not sure if there are any mechanisms..

through which disaffected delegates can create the chaos that the Republicans had. There won't be whole delegate slate walk outs and since no minority reports are being filed, there won't be any floor fights.

[LanternWaste]

23. Oh dear... more concern about image and commercial branding.

Oh dear... more concern about image and commercial branding. Thankfully, you've supported your premise with numerous objective and probable examples.
