That first quote was in response to me saying it's unfortunate that people can't admit to a weakness of the other party, instead pointing out failings of the other side.

The second quote is you commenting to someone who pointed out someone on your side of the aisle making pretty inappropriate comments.

Apparently you could agree more.

Public reps as well.

She was fantastic last night. Focused on addressing drug addiction. Addressed the importance of making good educational opportunities available for everyone.

An uplifting convention as compared to the negative, empty, fear mongering display Beijing Biden put on.

Had to spit out my beer when she said "America deserves complete honesty from their president" He's lied 20k x.

Just more examples of the intolerant left. If anyone on the right says something even close to this, the left demands that the person be fired and their life be ruined. And sadly, X-Man can't even admit that the above is wrong. Most leftists are probably nodding their heads when they hear or read the above garbage and say, "That's true!!"

But there's no standard like a double standard.

Read post #7024.

She was the best thing, although it must be hard to say you think the president is a person of truth. That's quite obviously not correct.

As to the rest, most of it, and night one, I found rather repetitive. It was all about stoking fear of the "other" who (they call democrats) are coming to do something bad to you. Be afraid. Hide the children.
Was quite the sort of demagoguery bowing and scrapping you might expect. The president is the only one who can save you.
Just like he was the only one who could build a wall that Mexico would pay for, could fix all that was wrong with the booming economy, etc.

Would love to hear some policy (even if there is no policy platform). All I got was shouting and yelling and stoking of fear.

Paul, you keep asking for policy? Why?

It's been made repeatedly clear:

1. American Economy. Focus what is best for the United States and on jobs at all levels of society - for Americans. That means blowing up old terrible trade deals, bringing manufacturing jobs back home, favorable tax policy that benefits all citizens (yes, his tax cuts are helping everyone). This focus versus your party's idiotic globalist emphasis.

2. Manage the relationship with China in a manner that is favorable to U.S. interests - jobs, mainly. Understand that communist regimes must be dealt with carefully and at arms length (unlike what Biden did for his relatives).

3. Legal immigration. It's the right thing to do, it's how the country became what it is today, and, among other things, it will help reduce crime (M13) and drugs (M13 and others).

4. Strong national defense. Keep bringing the boys home. You keep citing examples, including the Bush's, of RINO's and old guard Republicans that are against Trump, as though that is an indication of why people should not vote for Trump. I have news for you: THEIR REACTION TO TRUMP IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE FOR TRUMP. This "drain the swamp" thing has credibility. He's turning old-business-D.C. on its head, and that includes the military-industrial complex. Making allies pay their fare share also was a strong move.

5. Right to Life. Never been supported by a sitting U.S. President directly before. Your Democratic Party believes in murdering the unborn.

6. Law and Order. Your party embraces looters, rioting, and the elimination of history.

You shouldn't be bringing up discussions concerning policy. REAL POLICY, not Democratic Party empty suites platitudes.

Biden's record in D.C., other than what he accomplished in enriching his own family, is void of accomplishment.

For those who want to know Trump’s 2020 plan, along with Dash’s post here’s a link. Sounds like you’ll hear more on Thursday.

Let’s be honest, DNC convention spent the majority of time stating he’s not Trump, even Biden’s speech. Of course there was the token raise taxes on the rich, create green jobs, mandatory masks, and lowering premiums (heard that promise about a decade ago).

Dash, come on. Our party doesn't embrace looters, etc. That's a talking point from last night.

And you don't really believe Trump has drained any swamp, do you?

He just raised the rates on his hotel during convention week. Money in his pocket.
He tried to use his ambassador to the get the Open at his course in Scotland.

And he's drained the swamp?

Maybe not, but the Democratic Party is doing a gawdawful, terrible job of distancing themselves from looters.

I did have to laugh (did you drop this one in for laughs).
You are talking about Trump who:

1 - had a lot of his (let's bring jobs to America) Trump merchandise actually made in China

2 - Whose daughter had her name brand stuff made in China, and now has 5 new patents there.

Maybe not, but the Democratic Party is doing a gawdawful, terrible job of distancing themselves from looters.

Biden has constantly said the looting and rioting are wrong. Just repeated it 35 minutes ago.

You might never know this if you only listened to Fox and the convention going on.
