I have to give credit to fellow DUers who had the stomach to watch

the Republican convention and let us know how terrible the hate fest was. Kudos to you all.

I tried watching last night and tonight and could not stand the hate fest. Those folks do not like Americans, it is all about power!

Any other RNC convention as I have never seen this much drama. But I have to confess, 1/2 way through chrispie's speech, I wanted to poke his eyes out. He is such a loser douchebag. He deserves to lick Trump's shoes. And then become irrelevant once again.

To add: this convention is also unlike the others in that they truly have nothing to say except talk about hillary. Is this a new trend? Just demonize your opponent? I have been streMing it from online. I won't click on the channel.

Lo and behold it was an effing hatefest, had to change channel.

I was worried about Mrs. Clinton winning, she will win, however, voters have to go and vote. No way Trump can win, fingers crossed!

I just don't see it. They look desiderate to me. There was a deep rooted fear in their manic attacks over hillary. Deep rooted fear. Like at their most basic level they KNEW it was over. They KNEW that orange douchebag is not going to win. They KNOW they are losing in a grand way. And the world as they know it will forever change....and not in their favor.

One thing I have to give the republicans, they do hate right. I would like to see us have more teeth. ...like Elizabeth Warren. She goes out and just goes for the jugular. She is an incredibly smart warrior. We need that fire up front and center. I hope we go aafter them with a vengeance.

I've learned over the years not to let things I can't control upset me. So I just watch Shark Tank and the baseball game. I'm voting straight Dem ticket in November. So this is all elementary for me.

Just finished looking at the entire episode of House of Cards, done that with Walking Dead. Love Walking Dead.

All I know is that Mrs. Clinton will win the Presidency and she will be 100% better than that trump reality tv guy. He still cannot face real life situation!

I was worried before about Mrs. Clinton winning, now not so much. The trump campaign is in complete melt down and his wife stealing Mrs. Obama talking points is unbelievable. Hope he fires her!

That I have SKIPPED the KKK Rally aka The Rethuglican Convention.

I'm saving my eyes and strength for the Democratic Convention where I KNOW I'll see a convention sans the hate, racism, bluster, flat out lies, A noun, a verb, and 9/11 speeches giving Guliani. If I wanted to watch hateful people and racist hate speech, I'd go to youtube and find some of Hitler's speeches and rallies which are similar to what I've been told and heard is happening at the Rethug Convention. Good luck to those who CAN stomach lying, racist Orange #DonTheCon, his wife #CrookedMelania and the rest of the freaks, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, liars, racists, crazy Mom's blaming Hillary, Big Bloated hated Governors who lead rallies of "Lock her up" and weirdos attending that trash fest in Cleveland...

the varying speakers said "Hillary Clinton."

It's obvious they are TERRIFIED of her. Absolutely TERRIFIED.

We are making light of the hate fest, but this hate filled rage convention will help the RNC with a growing segment of Americans. Things are getting uglier and uglier in the US and if this group comes into power our Democracy is finished.
