Yeah, anyone who couldn't see that absolute stark difference in tone and message between the two conventions was blind and deaf.  There couldn't be a bigger contrast.

Positive, upbeat, loved Michelle Obama's speech.  That woman has class.

Her words:  "How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.
How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high."

I would suggest everyone watch that, especially if you didn't see it live.

Super delegates are unbound and vote for whomever they choose at the convention.
Which is exactly why there should be no super delegates.

Had you been paying attention, this subject matter has been covered before.  The Republicans have the same sort of mechanism in place.  Perhaps your buddy Hank, who eventually saw the light, can explain it to you.

The more things get screwed up the more attention I pay. Now I'm paying more attention but still have all my other things going on and only catch parts of things and either go back later and check them out of get otherwise occupied and forget. Wish I had started paying attention when I was younger and could absorbe more and retain it. Now I have so much crap going on in the grey matter it's like filing cabinets that are overloaded and I can't find anything....lol Now ask me the lyrics to a song from 40 yrs ago and I've got no problem...

I do have a question. If Bernie won the majority of the votes in a lot of states how did she end up with the majority of the super delegates in those states?

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
