All I can say is that I hope they properly vetted these seat fillers, I can see things going very wrong if they let in the wrong people just to keep up appearances for their movie set. Especially with people like the president and presidential candidates around. Knowing the DNC, they probably didn't considering they couldn't even secure their own email/voicemail servers.
$50? They give you $50 a day? All I got was a hearty handshake and a free sub to Commie Kenyon Times. I need a better agent.
How do you feel that the DNC is getting higher ratings than the RNC? Also, how do you feel about the fact that polling after Trump's speech gave it the lowest favorable ratings of any acceptance speech that's been measured?
I thought it was pretty amusing, haha.
Yup, Dems acting like everything is rosy and peachy is going to bite them in the ass. If everything's so great right now, why are they parading BLM sob stories on stage? Why is a large part of the party not even on board with your candidate? Can't have it both ways.Obama is an incredible orator but I felt Biden gave the better speech. I find it ironic that Clinton becomes the heir of hope and change, a candidate he once described as likeable enough and who he criticized with attack vectors that are still applicable today.
I also felt he didn't really have a strong response to Trump. Yes Trump is a bigot and a buffoon and all of those things, but his message is resonating with some people because there is a sentiment that things aren't great in America or the world right now. Sanders understood this. Are things better than under Bush? In some regards yes, in others, not so much. Unity and diversity and inclusion and lofty idealism are all noble things, none of them address the problems that the next President will inevitably slam into.
In May, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget surveyed the presidential contenders and declared Hillary Clinton the most fiscally conservative. Clinton is largely pro-trade, pro-immigration, and pro-infrastructure, all priorities for big business.
...
Or, put another way, 2012 was not a blip. It was the beginning of a phase shift. Democrats are replacing Republicans as the preferred party of the new American rich.
It's unclear at this point, however, whether this is a good thing for Democrats' electoral fortunes. The big risk for Democrats is that they will worry too much about catering to their wealthiest supporters and alienate their lower-income supports into becoming populist Republicans. Some of this may depend on how the economy develops, and whether inequality continues to grow.
Trump the candidate is the manifestation of emotions and frustrationsTrump has no plan. None. "trust me" is not a plan. The hammered him on this over and over. It felt like a comedy central roast.
I admire Clinton's ability to spin anything. I actually don't care for him very much. Which makes Hillary this candidate even more confounding. All of the Clinton baggage with none of the charisma.Just curious, what impressed you? Did you think that what you heard was truth? I understand that it may not make any difference to you whether any of it was or wasn't.
I ask because it was all typical Clinton interpretation of what actually transpired. It was all spin. Nothing that he said was truthful. Now, maybe after all these years the Clinton machine has told the lies often enough that even they believe them I don't know. But why accept what people that are lying say as truth?
Why do people on such a mass scale choose to believe rhetoric that is undeniably untrue? That's a rhetorical question.

Funny, but the liberal latimes/USC poll doesn't agree. Look at the pretty little chart and tell us what you see:How do you feel that the DNC is getting higher ratings than the RNC? Also, how do you feel about the fact that polling after Trump's speech gave it the lowest favorable ratings of any acceptance speech that's been measured?

In fact, Trump's lead expanded by half a point yesterday to well over 7.
Also, nice lie about Trump's speech. CNN Instant Poll showed that 73% viewed it favorably and 56% of viewers were more likely to vote for him after watching it.

The left-leaning MSM brainwashing is strong with this one.
Republicans have lots of trouble understanding what the "truth" looks like so it is no surprise to me that you are struggling to see much of the truth of what is being said in speeches at the DNC.Just curious, what impressed you? Did you think that what you heard was truth? I understand that it may not make any difference to you whether any of it was or wasn't.

You know you are in trouble when 27% of your base didn't find your concession speech favorable...

Uhm, your link shows the DNC winning two of the three nights and says there is likely to be a larger than normal adjustment to the numbers since Obama didn't speak until 11:15. Were you trying to confirm what I said?
No, it's real because anyone with eyes can see the Bernie seats were filled. Use your eyes. Or watch the videos of witnesses actually there who are saying the same thing. Or watch the video of the seat filler admit he just got his credentials that day.
The DNC gotta make that movie set look good.
RNC should learn from the DNC, just rig the whole thing so your chosen candidate wins.
The Dems as a party don't give two shits about the middle class, the just claim they do.
NAFTA, TPP, Illegal Immigration, all things that work to help destroy middle class jobs.
Then theres the typical liberal smugness; you work in a trade they don't like: construction, mining, manufacturing, and the Dems look down on you, like your some kind of moron, because you lack that liberal arts English degree that they used to get a job at Starbucks.
In the military the dems look down on you as being stupid. A cop, the dems look at you as some sort of racist black people murdering KKK member.
The Dems aren't for the middle class, the dems for their choose protected classes.
The clinton democrats are centrist neoliberals. I realize you're not in a position to understand what those words means, so the simple version is that that they're somewhat lighter versions of full blown free-market capitalist that conservatives purport to be. From this point I suspect even you can figure out the alternative to neoliberalism isn't american conservatism, simple from pondering how distances work (ie further/closer).
Please. The Party as a whole is center-left. The Clintonites have been entirely cognizant & supportive of that as they work to get everybody on the same page.
Help me out here. I can't tell if you're intentionally full of shit. Or if you're stupid enough to think that the DNC is going to advertise for people to fill seats on Craigslist. Publicly advertising for seat fillers is a hell of a lot worse than having a very small percentage of the seats empty. And, you're very naive to think that in the tri-state area there aren't a lot of Democrats who would love to attend. All it would take is a few calls from a few elected officials and those seats would be filled. "Hey, mayor/councilman/elected person (D) of town/village in PA, NJ, NY within an hour of Philly, could you make a few calls and get a few of your respected Democratic constituents to come down here and fill a few seats?" That's all it would take and they could have thousands of people.
To think that they couldn't find a few thousand donors to Democratic Party members to come down and have a seat, within an hour of Philly, is very naive, else just partisan bullshit as you seem to do as a habit.
DNC paying people $50/day to fill empty seats because they are "unified", remember? hahahah

Clinton campaign has a Philly craigslist ad for actors/seat-fillers @ $50/day! Has no supporters and underpays! https://twitter.com/Sammyboy1216/sta...rc=twsrc^tfw

Apparently, there is an actual place where people might register themselves for jobs such as “seat-fillers,” and it is provided by the website Seatfillers, which also has put up a page for curious readers with many questions.
Seatfiller.com handles over 40 events each year. Recently, they have handled the SAG Awards, the American Music Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the MTV Awards, the TV Guide Awards, the Blockbuster Awards, Soap Opera Digest Awards, the Soul Train Awards, the NAACP Image Awards, the Latin Billboard Awards and Rock & Jock baseball.

Speedy's post consisted of strung together hype and outright bull. When I read it and followed his links, I was tempted to critique it point by point, but initially decided it was simply too tedious to dive into his hysterical muck. But, eh, it needs to be done or the weaker minds here might lodge this in their psyches as having actually happened as he describes it:
His proof is this youtube selfie vid of a Bernie Bot who literally begins saying, and I quote, "I don't have any facts about this. I don't want to make any allegations that aren't true" and then proceeds to pretty much do both. There is NOTHING in his ramble about anyone paying anyone else $50/day for anything.

As you pointed out, Dr, this makes zero sense and is obviously bogus.
This same BS article claims 1,800 Bernie delegates walked out. Another lie, as others in this thread have noted. At most, a couple hundred walked out.
Above, Speedy (oops, nearly typed Spidey!) links to a firm that hires seat fillers for Hollywood-type award shows AS IF this were any proof of the validity of the bogus Craigslist ad:
BENGAZI to you, too, Speedy!
