Trump will be toast once Hillary's convention is over.  I can feel the implosion now.

Last night, in a piece about the upcoming democratic convention, one of our local news anchors referred to Philadelphia as "The birthplace of democracy."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Which is the real birthplace then?  Athens?  :unsure:

Well the Romans claimed they invented it exactly one year before Athens but I always found that unlikely.

There are some examples of proto-democracies that existed before the Greek city-states, but most people call Athens the birthplace of democracy.  Regardless, democracy had existed long before the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia.

"Birthplace of American Democracy" would have had a better ring to it anyway.

Move over Coke/Soda/Pop map.


The map is all about pepsi, which owns frito lay. Lays, Doritos, Cheetos, and Tostitos. I may be getting the count wrong, but I think they have 34 of the 50 states.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Even better: "Birthplace of the former reigning heavyweight champion of the world, the Italian Stallion, Rocky Balboa!"

That's what the statue is there for.

Trump's convention bump is here.

QuoteDonald Trump comes out of his convention ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson (9%) and Jill Stein (3%) and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%. That latter finding represents a 6-point convention bounce for Trump, which are traditionally measured in two-way matchups.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/25/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-poll/index.html

Clinton should bring it back to about even after her convention.  :hmm:

Yep, Trump now leading Clinton in average of all general election polling.
