It is beyond absurd.

But this is a perfect example of what I mean when I say this...it's almost impossible to be intellectually honest if you are a liberal. Look at Paul's posts...she misspoke and exaggerated, only because she was tired. He can't bring himself to just say what everyone knows to be true...that she lied. He can't just say, "she lied". But he has no problem telling us when Trump lies, and he won't accept "being tired" as a justifiable excuse when Trump does it.

The intellectual dishonesty, and hypocrisy, is staggering.
You just can't fix stupid, especially when the person feels they are so superior to others.

But it works. As long as one has no reservations with being devoid of morals, then embracing the liberal ideology is quite effective as a political strategy. Here in my home state of CT, we have a very wealthy and educated citizenry. Yet everything is a mess, we are on the brink of insolvency, and we rank near the bottom of almost everything that can be measured, and people who work cannot flee the state fast enough. Yet the liberals get 99.98% of the vote every November. It's un-explainable.

There at the Democrat convention, you have the very people who were actively working against Bernie Sanders, telling the crowd to show them respect, and saying that the story isn't what was in the emails, but rather, who brought them to light.

The Democratic party of inclusion apparently didn't want to include the other Democrat in the race.

Which, of course, is the only reason they have the superdelegates. So that the people who run the DNC, and not the citizenry they claim to serve, can decide who gets the nomination. How democratic.

I will admit, since my party shot ourselves in the foot with our nominee, it would be tempting to wish that the party heads would step in and override the folks and pick someone with a better chance of winning. But the man won fair and square. Somehow.

The trouble is the party would've never put in somebody that would bring change to the system. A totally corrupt system that is run by both the GOP and the Democrats .

Agreed, but you have to win, before you can change anything. And it's harder to win, when your candidate is such a jerk, that he makes fun of John McCain's incarceration or Carly Fiorina's appearance, and he doesn't apologize until one of his handlers tells him to.

We are broken, and we need some fixin'.

Apparently, making fun of McCain made it easier for Trump to win. Maybe that's why he did it. To win. And then be able to change anything.

Nicey-nice McCain (except when he disparaged or "eviscerated", as you like to put it, anyone who disagreed with him) apparently didn't know how to win the Presidency. His machine makes it possible to get re-elected over and over in Arizona, but he maxes out at that point.

Maybe Trump understands the gutters that must be waded through in order to cross over into "winning" the Presidency.
