OPEN LIVE CONVENTION THREAD - TUESDAY, JULY 19

[Timber Rattler]

This is a live convention thread, is it not?

Good. Here's some news: last night the votes were tallied and Donald J Trump secured more delegates than any Republican in history:

...by cheating, coercion, lying, intimidation, and outright threats of physical violence against dissenting delegates.  Yeah, that's good news all right.

Here's the deal...Trump people stay off this thread!..never Trump people will reciprocate and stay off yours..

I would sure like to go to the hosp to see our new baby than try to mitigate this...Please

Go see that grandbaby!

[Right_in_Virginia]

I don't get posters bitching about what's said over HERE when they don't have to come over HERE. 

It's an OPEN thread; no deleted posts.  And we have a moderator:  me.

I really want to shut this thread down and have everyone post on the WEDNESDAY thread.  It's a new day and we all deserve a fresh start.

Sounds like you want it both ways.  Tell us what you want, @Sinkspur.   And we will honor it.

[Idiot]

ab you need to stop lying!
i am so tired of faining martyerisim

this is how it is...
idiots, think trump is Done  oh my 888ohnoes 888ohnoes

Dude!  Chill out!  Why are you pissing off your members?

[bolobaby]

No, those are not the choices.  There are others running in the race, plus my vote is not coerced at the point of a gun.  By your logic, my not voting for Hillary is giving aid and comfort to Trump. 

You don't have to keep company with us, AC, at least for the next two days.  You have your own sandbox to play in and things have been swell with this arrangement.

Let AC come here. I have him on ignore anyway. :-D

Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild.

Sorry this all came down at the same time...but, your suggestion is ridiculous. You won't be able to put a lid on this and successfully segregate your membership. We are bound to interact and there will be friction.

What's needed here is leadership. Are we to promote the Republican nominee or the Democrat? Which will it be? We put up with a full calendar year of insults to our persons. Last night that all ended - Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president.

Leadership. That's what's needed here, Nancy. Leadership.

At the expense of party unity with the Alaska delegates.  Not how one recruits more Trump support.

Kasich and Cruz should have been placed into nomination- for unity.

I want all Trump people off....sorry to say that but it is best for the forum...please

Supporting Donald Trump in most people's world does not constitute bad behavior.

I support the Republican nominee for president.

Hurrah for you!

Let's see how that works out for you!

[WAC]

Once, just ONCE I would like to see a Trump supporter admit that the current toxic environment within the party was kicked off when their candidate decided, for the first time in my memory anyway, to employ schoolyard insults & underhanded tabloid tactics as a campaign strategy.

That's just nonsense......the GOPe began this in the halls of Washington.......have you not been paying attention to what they said and did with Cruz and his team when he went up against them?.......The Party has been at war, and brutally nasty, long before Trump even entered the race.....but Cruz had to retain his position by being far more diplomatic in his approach.....calling them the "Washington Cartel" was about as strong as he could go and that did speak volumes to those who were aware of the fights and tactics against Cruz.

Trump on the other hand had nothing to loose by calling them all out who stood in his way.....no doubt playing hard ball because he was set to expose them all come what may.....and frankly everybody loved what he was doing when he first hit the race......few took his Presidential run seriously so they were all enjoying "the ride" of this exposure......until he went after those who stood in the way of his win.

Anyone who thinks Washington is all about statesmanship and cushy political responses is blind to the reality of what goes on behind those doors......

The eye injury and 'several others'....Reid said was the result when an exercise band snapped and “catapulted” him into cabinets ......

Won't fix a thing but have it your way if you must!

I applaud Repub4TrumpPence's posts.

What have the anti-Trumpers posted, about prostitutes? Trying to shoe-horn comparisons to the Fuhrer?  Talking about toilet paper?

Really great for that 300 more posts.  And lot of behavior that does not seem very Christian as well.

I too, applaud @Repub4TrumpPence for her posts!  It is beyond frustrating to try to move forward in this crucial election while a bunch of childish NeverThings post lies, insults and anything negative they can find on the Internet about Trump, his family and his supporters. 

Do they not think that their little spiels are not fodder for Hillary's campaign?  Do they not think that they are helping HER? 

I'll tell you what I think - they don't care!  Many of them brag that they stayed home rather than vote for Romney - despite the consequences of that - and now, ironically, they are siding with Romney and his ilk.  People like that are nothing but bumps in the road.

I don't give a hooey about your third party candidates and you core principles that allow you to ride off in the sunset on a high and mighty white horse - walk away from the fight and blame the loss of the battle of those who stayed and fought with every weapon they could muster.  Anyone who walks away from this fight is a sniveling coward!

The toilet paper jokes, the Melania jokes, the orange jokes, the Hitler/Nazi references, the lies that we are going to KILL you (for God's sake!!!)......you are correct TomSea - not Christian at all.  You people make me physically ill.

Trump is a charter member of the Clintoon/Soros Crime syndicate. He was talked intod doing this by his bud Bill Clintoon! They are LTFAO at you!

Leadership. That's what's needed here, Nancy. Leadership.

No, you Trumpists demand a dictatorship, just like everywhere else you post.

 

[bilo]

Trump is both a cause and a symptom.

I do not believe anyone can claim in all honesty that there has been a presidential candidate as crude and overtly abusive as he in their lifetime.

Anyway, no big deal. Just an observation.

I agree.

The 11th commandment was thrown out with a lot of gusto.

[aligncare]

He also had the most delegates vote against him:  721.

A trivial and meaningless factoid.

17 candidates. I'm sure you understand what that means...well maybe not so sure. After all, you #NeverTrumps are expert at avoiding reality...until last night.

Donald J Trump is the Republican nominee for president.  Just wanted to mention that, just in case that fact hadn't filtered through that fog of denial surrounding you.

There is no help for the wilfully blind!  Let's see how that works out for you!

How right you are. And if Nancy was a leader and not so involved with her new grandchild - she would boot your butt off this forum and off this site.

She has asked nicely for you to stay away. And you insult her.

[montanajoe]

I want all Trump people off....sorry to say that but it is best for the forum...please

With all due respect the only way that is going to happen is to delete their posts, sadly they simply do not respect you or the forum enough to comply with your wishes.

BTW Congratulations, go see that newborn, who is no doubt more mature than some of those here....

Your speaking truth makes you look taller and slender. Did you know that about yourself?
