During the week of August 17, thousands of Democrats elected to serve as delegates to their party’s national convention will log on to their computers to view the proceedings. They will cast electronic votes on the party platform and for their party’s nominee to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency. About one-quarter of this year’s delegates are Bernie Sanders supporters. Most of them are progressive political activists—and many are first-time participants in a national convention. This virtual event will not be the experience they expected. And while all of those with whom I’ve spoken are supportive of the precautions being

The more they are falsely led to believe that they have it in the bag the easier it will be to convince them that something nefarious happened to steal the election and to justify another four years of subversion.
I'd bet somewhere deep inside the commie cave the democrats knew Hillary was in trouble.

They can expect all kinds of technical problems as retired geezers try to figure out, in real time, how to use video conferencing software. All those Bernie bros and liberal women are not the most logical or technogical kind of people. They will find every bug, every glitch possible that will delay and halt the software operations. Then you get into the "point of order," "point of inquiry, " "motion to suspend the rules," etc. that a bunch of first-timers will plan to use to upset the Democrat elite masters and what you have is a huge mess. Joe will be in his basement, unaware of everything. If there was ever a time for a nomination to be stolen, I would guess that this would be time for it.

Looking back at the number of total losers the demoslut party had running for president, they had nothing but disappointment in their future. The sad fact is, there will be a number of states Biden will win. This election should be over before it even starts, but instead there will be millions of brain dead idiots voting for Biden making this election closer then it should.

#3 I live in the bluest of blue states, New Mexico, two cities determine our elections. Obama and Hillary carried this state's electoral votes and so will brain dead Biden. Our state is conservative but the illegals in Albuquerque and homosexual in Santa Fe rule the state.

Their dogs will do the voting as the delegates will likely be in a drunken stupor!

This is a cover story for the overall dismay and disgust the democrat grassroots have for their candidate.

Poster #1 says "I'd bet somewhere deep inside the commie cave the democrats knew Hillary was in trouble."
I agree completely and have thought so since just after the election. How else to explain the frantic efforts in the White House to get Trump?
They knew, all right. Not sure if the media knew - some of them must have - but those at the top knew. Obama never liked Hillary and would have been glad enough for her defeat except for what it would do to his own legacy.

Like # 4 I live in the bluest of the blue states and the poorest of all states. Thanks to the Democrats! It's very frustrating politically but I balance it with the great things about living here. Basically, ever since Pete Domenici retired from the senate, the Republican party has been neutered in NM with the exception of Susana Martinez. The other side totally runs the state legislature and the two U S Senators are feckless back benchers.
The current Governor is a mini Whitmer from Michigan and is following the party line and dictates to the tee. There's a lot of angst growing throughout the state from smaller towns in the south that have been shut down with barely being touched at all by the virus. There's only one way the conservatives win and that's to make the people feel safe. Albuquerque has 4 times more crime per capita than any other city in the country. This is why president Trump wanted to send the Feds here to protect the people. We need a bombastic type of leader with a loud voice to stir the pot and get the people excited. Trump's rally here last year was awesome. There are many conservative folks who want a change from the old Democrat welfare state. New Mexico needs to be reinvented with the right voice and leadership to bring it into the 21st century.

Of course the party is not connecting with the Socialist Bernie Bros. Just like keeping a problematic Biden in his basement is deliberate to keep the voters from being confronted with his scatterbrained condition, so too does the party NOT want to have a public discussion with the Socialists. The convention is well covered and the party knows it is time to downplay their Socialist leanings for the general election. But the Socialists don't know how to shut up and the broader public, who is just starting to listen in preparation for the election will not receive a party halfway to Communism well. It is better the party ignore their problem children until they can make better use of them later.

Am confused. When I read posts on lucianne I feel good with posters predicting that PT will be reelected, we will keep the Senate and maybe retake the House. But other places on the web say that PT has less than a 5% chance of being reelected. All I know is somebody doesn't know what they are talking about. And I hope that is them.

#2--it sure would be a shame if the ip address of the democrat servers that are supposed to host the online convention were leaked somewhere. It would be a shame if a bot army deployed a DDoS operation on that ip address(s) at the time of the convention...
That would be a shame...wouldn't it?

The delegates don't matter. The dimocrats are in the final pages of Animal Farm, where four legs are good, but two legs better.
bernie got his latest payoff, so his delegates can go to hell.

Lead on the 4:00 national news is that Biden is far ahead of Trump in the polls. Is it someone trying to pump dhims up or are they trying to prepare the pubbies for a loss via fraud?

This old rag sometimes lets the truth slip out. 80% of Bernie Bros are furious about how the Democrat convention is being handled. Now they'll have to be content yelling at their computer screens.
