Trump is a demagogue.

Trump is a demagogue.

Have you ever seen a party national convention where absolutely no one talked about the party's platform before? I guess Trump figures he doesn't need to pay any attention to it, and the other candidates are glad not to be saddled with anything he would accept.  It's just odd, though. 

The actual platform is absolute mush.  It is basically "if something is bad, we will get rid of it; it something is good, we will do more of it."  What those things are aren't spelled out.

The Republicans have had six years to propose new legislation to deal with the issues raised in the platform.  They haven't done it.  The only really strong Republican congressional initiative of the last six years, to increase America's consumption of death (by eliminating taxes on it) isn't in their national platform, as far as I can see. 
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I don't mind that much the fiscal conservatism of Republicans but their social view... oh my. So, well, I support [insert any Democrat presidential candidate]. So that makes me a Hillary supporter.

Tim Kaine seals the deal.  I may very publicly soon campaign for Clinton-Kaine.  My free time.  :(

It's posts like this that make grumbler worth the price of admission.

Don't laugh, but the first thing that I noticed, that turned me off to him was his body language and non-verbal communication.

I'll be voting for Jill Stein.  Again.  I know how New York will roll, so I have the ability to vote with the candidate I actually come closest to agreeing with instead of having to go lesser of two evils route.

Considering Jill Stein is an imbecile and her party supports things like herbal remedies and anti-vax you should probably keep that to yourself.
