Good luck Cleveland! Wondering if anyone has any predictions about this event. Looks like we are about 60 days away. Is the National Guard being mobilized yet? Should be interesting to say the least.

    The caterers look nice. I hope they remember lots of Avocado for the taco bowls.

    Trump wants more of a "showbiz" feel.
    Interesting that the choice for VP will also take place at this event. Maybe we can get a live Apprentice style elimination type process to announce the VP. That would be fun!

    That is interesting since the majority of protestors and protesters that have caused issues are in the Sanders camp.

    ^^^I love all the minimizations and rationalizations from Trump supporters. Hey, at least he "says what he's thinking". So does the guy working the fryer at KFC.

    I asked for a video that shows assault from a Sanders supporter, can you not find one?
    How many are out there from Trumpers? A dozen?

    You're questioning the choir here. I haven't seen one video.

    These arguments that attempt to make Sanders look like a bunch of violent hooligans are amusing in their gross misrepresentation of who we are. Politics as an action-adventure video game. :lol:

    Trumphadists calling Bernie supporters violent thugs is like Uwe Boll calling Martin Scorsese a terrible film director.

    What's more, many Democrats fear that if Sanders does not rein in his supporters, the same ugly scene that occurred in Las Vegas last weekend could replicate itself in the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

    This could get very ugly. I am worried this is going to play right into Trumps hands and we will be hearing about
    "Bernie People" destroying America until forever. Hopefully everything can stay peaceful and productive.

    Good god. Nothing happened in Nevada but the mainstream media wants you to think that. There's no video of any chairs being thrown or violence.

    I'm all for protests and believe that they have and still play an important role in our society. But I wonder if maybe they will have a negative impact and could tip the election to Trump. Joe Whitey swing voter, doesnt want to see a bunch of "Bernie People" causing problems. Whether they are justified or not. I feel like spending time trying to outscream a bunch of Trumpers is going to have the opposite effect of what they are trying to achieve. Why not, instead of protesting, focus all their energy on voting drives and getting people to the polls on Election Day.
