Is Maryanne Trump going to speak at the convention? I'd like to hear that one

Melania, Don, Jr., Eric (if he's not served with more subpoena's), Iskanka, Tiffany, Don jr's girlfriend and Kermit the frog. Quite a diverse line up.

The fact that the Democrats on this board never denounce this kind of violence/terrorism speaks volumes. Just like the national Democrats, this is all just fine with them.

How do you do a poll? I'd love to see a poll of who on this board would give in to the mob demand and raise their fist? Can someone do that?

I do find it quite telling that so many Republicans are sounding alarm bells. You didn't see that in 2012 with people from the Obama administration coming out against the incumbent.

This is one area the Democrats do extremely well is band together. Whether it’s messaging (goes for MSM as well), Congressional votes, or liberal Supreme Court decisions, there’re primarily lockstep for the most part. Of course, the Democratic Socialists are making it difficult these days. Finally it would be political suicide for anyone coming out against Obama.

What has our country come to when pence is the best option of the four?

Melania, Don, Jr., Eric (if he's not served with more subpoena's), Iskanka, Tiffany, Don jr's girlfriend and Kermit the frog. Quite a diverse line up.

I know you didn't watch last night, but Tim Scott (first Black congressman and Senator), Maximo Alvarez (Cuban-American who's family fled Catro's communist regime in Cuba), Herschel Walker (Black), Vernon Jones (Black), Nikki Haley (woman, Indian-American), Kim Klacik (woman, Black, GOP congressional candidate)

I only use their gender and race in quotations because I know identity politics are all you Libs understand.

For all the talk about diversity from the Left, the best they can come up with is an old, white, career politician who hasn't really accomplished anything besides getting rich off the backs of taxpayers.

Since Tim Scott represents my state in the Senate, I'll note for you that he is neither the first Black congressman, or Senator.

I think Maryanne's invitation got lost in the mail. Same with Tara Reade's invitation from the DNC to speak last week.

Yikes! Is Tara Reade, Biden's sister?

Yikes! Is Tara Reade, Biden's sister?

If he was, that would make what he (allegedly) did to her extra sick.

Wasn’t Hiram Revels the first African American to serve in the US Senate back in 1870?

Interesting bio.

Yes, I think Scott is the first Black man to serve in both the US House and Senate.
