    You have been asked several times and every single time you avoided even using the word "Trump" in a question explicitly about your reaction to something that Trump said.

    Trump criticized Michelle Obama because he wanted credit for all of the deaths to date and she only mentioned that 150,000 had died.

    Did you find it strange..................................

    That they kept bringing up LEADERSHIP and how Biden was a leader and would bring back leadership and blah blah blah and yet the only appearance by him he was interviewing and asking OTHERS what we should be doing. It wasn't him showing leadership and here is what I THINK is wrong and what I WILL DO here is MY PLAN he's having to ask others, he's asking others what's going on out there. That's not leadership that is followship, that is community organizing not getting something done.

    I'm not required to answer your questions at all. If I choose to answer your questions, I'm not required to use specific words. I use my words. You use your words. Okey dokey, then?

    What issue did they bring up and what did they say they would do about it? See above about Biden's appearance. OK we got all the gloom and doom and you can't stand Trump, now what are they going to do about what?

    Great.

    So you are unwilling or unable to criticize Trump for his explicit endorsement of the theory that the only way he loses this election is through fraud.

    At the rally he is doing right now, did Trump criticize Michelle Obama because she said that 150,000 Americans had died and not the current number of 173,000?

    Their focus was the three crises facing this country - The Covid-19 crisis, The economic crisis, and the Racial Injustice Crisis.

    Throughout the night, there were multiple discussions and references to plans for addressing all of those as well as reasons why Biden can lead and successfully address those issues where Trump has failed.

    But if you want a more explicit description of his policy proposals, then I suggest going to his website or reading a position paper instead of expecting to get a lot of in depth policy discussion from a convention.

    It will be the same thing it is every election. More money and more government.

    Yes as I said "Trump caused COVID and he killed millions of People", "We hate Trump" and doom and gloom as in injustice they can't even define nor tried too. And then WHAT did they say they would DO about it, what plan did they present?

    Yes WE HATE TRUMP, they present nothing to support their claims like Trump cause COVID so he is responsible for this woman's fathers death, we JUST HATE HIM. And "references to plans" ROFL like I say they don't say what they are going to do about it just claim they will bring us all together and all the problems will go away.

    Why when this is THEIR convention where they are supposed to state the reasons we should be voting for them and what they will do on the issues making their policies clear for all, not vague references.

    I used to LOVE conventions and cherish the memories of watching them with my mother, my father traveled, and the floor excitement and fighting for coalitions on the plank and the candidates when it was not a settled matter. They have gotten pretty boring over the years and this is NOT helping. Hopefully the Republicans are studying this and thinking this is NOT how we want to do this.

    If the Dems continue the WE HATE TRUMP show the next two nights what do you think the already bad ratings will do?

    Will they, if they ever actually talk about issues, criticize Trump and the Republicans on spending and the deficit or will they pledge even more spending? They can't do both can they.

    Oh my. That's hillarious!

    It did not say "I'm Donad Trump and I approve this message," and also doesn't have a "paid for by XYZ Pac", so it's a meme I'm guessing? Very funny anyway.

    They already are by complaining about his spending and proposing policies like medicare for all and the green new deal.

    I had to move it to YouTube to see who produced it. It does say parody. One of the funniest I've seen all year!

    Talk about a low totally unfair blow that was..............what happened to Michele Obama's "they go low we go high" they were parroting?

    If I were the RNC convention chairman I think I would be saying HOLD ON BABBA LOU let's reinvent and go two nights, the first we explain the issues and what we plan to do about them and introduce so new faces and then second night the nomination and vote and celebration and keep it short. They don't need four nights of this. Hit hard with two nights and then get on with it.

    I watched and thought it was great.

    At the end one journalist commented that there is no way Biden could stand, let alone speak in that heat without having a heatstroke.

    I agree.

    A coordinated and centralized response - providing useful assistance to all states. That would certainly have made a difference. But I know you don't agree - so we will carry on believing what we believe.
