2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm not worried at all
The convention will go on well, it will be wonderful. Protesters can protest, and the MSM will make a big deal. Hillary is used to all of this and she will go on to make history this week with a smile on her face and warmth in her heart. I'm not worried about the protests, the expectations, the entitlement of people who feel they get to dictate things even if they are not the nominee or her group of advisors, of people who think their voice must be heard beyond their vote, and every single hurt feeling must be nursed and addressed before they are willing to support her. There is a whole bunch of us who do support her whole heartedly. She will go on to win in November. I will proudly tell me daughters that girls can be whatever they want. History will be made.

(456 posts)Politics, especially presidential politics, can drive you crazy. I remember in 2012 after the first debate everyone was saying Obama did terrible and Romney was going to win. That was the narrative on from every news outlet. Drove me crazy, but then I realized there was nothing I could do about it. Obama was going to have to do better in the next debates, and thank God he did. Ever since then I've learned to not let drama in politics I can't do anything about get to me. I'm going to do my part and cast my one vote. That's really all one can do.

Question to Hillary about her emails.
Question to Trump about how he feels about Hillary's emails.
Question to Hillary about the primary being stolen from Bernie.
Question to Trump about Hillary stealing the primary from Bernie with an invitation by Trump to Bernie supporters to join his campaign.
First commercial by Shell Oil showing and all American WHITE family loading up the SUV for a long drive.
Second commercial of fighter jets promoting Lockeed as if everyone has one of their fighter jets in the garage next to the SUV.
Third commercial of something greasy/sweet/salty or a combination that is called "food".
Fourth commercial showing a woman in a kitchen.

(25,472 posts)There are lots of good smart people running this campaign, lots of good smart Democrats working hard to get out the vote and the numbers are there. How long and hard have some tried to make this all about one person, Hillary Clinton.
If something terrible happens, it happens. It's not like the U.S. doesn't have laws anymore.
Ugh. On the teevee news they began with "The Democratic convention hasn't even started yet and they're dealing with the first controversy." The FIRST controversy. Then later a story about the convention started out with something about how many friends of Hillary's are there but nobody really likes her, she has to deal with "likeability." Ugh.

(989 posts)move after all since the Russians, thru and with Wikileaks, can seemingly hack any government or corporate computer system. If they had hacked her private server the shit would have hit the fan in the middle of the primary. The Benghazi committee just happened to luck up on even knowing about her server.
I think we can stand a leader who is not in Putin's hip pocket and a lot smarter.

(2,064 posts)if any sensitive documents were obtained by the Russians or Chinese, they will determine - on their timetable - when and if to release them. They could wait until immediately before the election, or after HRC is inaugurated and attempt to destabilize the government.
Or perhaps they have nothing at all. My gut tells me if they obtained documents off if the secure server, they probably have everything HRC ever emailed, regardless of whether it was deleted later on by HRC staff. And that may mean nothing at all other than they knew HRC's yoga schedule and TV preferences. Or not.
