Yeah, I think they have a kind of an unconventional relationship, but at the end of the day, they seem to actually like and respect the hell out of each other as intellectual equals, which, fair enough. Good for them if they’re happy, and they seem to be.

Well, to be fair, they had more room to set it up, what with all the Republicans who did not come to the RNC.

Yeah, Pence is not generally known as an intellectual heavyweight. I think Kaine’s gonna (a) out-folksy him and (b) bring the facts. Should be fun.

Apparently Obama gave Kaine a little pep talk backstage before he went out to speak, which is adorable. I realize there’s some amount of tension within the current Democratic party, but it feels more like big messy disagreeing family tension but generally centered around genuinely good and likeable people, as opposed…

Susan.

We’re also good at bringing jokes, but I feel like maybe you should go one thing at a time.

Liberals: SHE WAS TOO CONSERVATIVE!

It’s a political convention. If it’s not cheesy, you’re not doing it right.

I bet you still believe all the same stuff you believed when you were 16 too.

My favorite are the ones who are like “well, I don’t want a Trump presidency, but if the Democrats can’t elect Hillary Clinton without people like me voting for her, then maybe they deserve this wake up call.” As though the election is decided by ething other than WHO GETS THE MOST FUCKING VOTES. It’s like if you’re…

Guys, it’s true. Some parts of the White House were not built by slaves. Also, 2/3 of smokers die from something other than smoking. Therefore, neither smoking nor slavery are bad. This is just science.

Trump sort of said this morning that Russia doesn’t respect Obama because he’s black. I feel like had there not been a whole bunch of treason in the speech, that might have gotten more attention.

Sorry, was just expressing incredulity that Russia is literally openly trying to influence an American election via a man whose last job was RUNNING PR FOR A DICTATOR RUSSIA PROPPED UP.

It was Katy Tur from NBC. Who has been embedded with his campaign since the beginning, is EXTREMELY nice, and has bent over backward to be fair to him despite being harassed at his rallies.

Listened to an interview with one of the Bernie or Bust leaders this morning. She was like “well, sure, what Trump SAYS is worse than what Hillary says, but what Hillary has DONE (she then listed off a bunch of Bill Clinton and Obama policies, none of which actually had anything to do with Hillary Clinton) is worse,…

Well, Trump’s not a true manchurian candidate, because he’s not drugged, he’s just COLOSSALLY stupid and easy to manipulate, so they still have to deal with the fact that he occasionally just goes out and gives away the whole ballgame.

The Russian-backed Ukranian dictator.

Anna: add a “To” between “Russia” and “Spy” in your headline.

No. I was being ironic. Duh.

I BRING THE TAKES.
