Univision, Telemundo score first Tim Kaine solo interviews I'm told. They happened today. Camp wants Latinos to like him early #DemsInPhilly

He already started, just like I knew he would.

This gives me hope that Trump has a legitimate chance at winning everything!

It's nice to know that my state (Missouri) is currently in steady hands. Chris Koster (who is running as the Democratic nominee since Nixon is ineligible to run again) is receiving way more donations than his competitors on the Republican side. I think he's a safe bet but I still donate to him. Jason Kander is running to beat incumbent Roy Blunt in the Senate and has been beating him steadily in donations, to the point that he is only within three points away from beating him in current polls. Hillary and Tim need to rile up the base by November, we could have perfect results.

I hope most of those same people aren't supporting/voting for him.

Cause Hillary is the worse of 2 evils. She's Richard Nixon in a pantsuit.

Not everyone can be a legend like Nancy Pelosi and always be in favor of gay marriage from the start.

She's a representative from downtown San Francisco. Half her constituency has probably been LGBT her whole career.

An interesting thought in politics, do we want our representatives to vote their conscience or vote their constituency? Do we want politicians to vote against widely popular ideas just because it is "against their conscience"? I know the ideal is for the representative's conscience and the constituency to be aligned, but you are kidding yourself if you think it will be aligned 100% of the time. Even Bernie Sanders admits that an election because of a vote on gun control. Politicians can only vote against popular opinion for so long before they get voted out. The public gets the politicians that we deserve. Public opinion is clearly not always right. That's democracy for you.

The same group that refused to endorse him when he ran for governor. He has fuzzy record abortion and there's nothing wrong with being transparent about that.

He didn't have much of a record back then, but they had comments on the records where he spoke out against abortion frequently. Since being elected to the Senate he has consistently voted along party lines to protect abortion and protect planned parenthood. He says his opposition to abortion is "only personal" meaning he supports Democratic policy on abortion rights.

More Proof Russian Hackers involved in DNC leaks

So much for a conspiracy theory. Now it's truth

There is this article talking about the hack over a month ago. Let's be real, Wikileaks didn't do this to help Bernie Sanders. If they wanted to do that, then they should have done it 7 months ago! It's way to late to help Bernie. It is obviously meant to hurt Clinton, therefore helping Trump.

The Trumpsters are going to be unbearable for the next week with that new CNN poll showing him up 5

But really the fact that that trainwreck of a convention even gave him a bump is kinda

She's 4 more years of Obama. How is that lesser evil than 4 years of a crazy uninformed racist sexist mentally unstable sociopath?

Trump got his bump in the polls as expected.

Trump barely has a campaign, zero ground game,barely any surrogates, hasn't spent anything on ads and spends most of his time sleeping in Trump tower.
How he's leading/tied with Hillary is beyond me.

Misogyny is real

Y'all need to heed that Upshot article about ignoring all post-convention polls. That said, that CNN poll is suspicious as hell. Looking at the crosstabs, they have Clinton winning non-white voters 66-31. We know she's likely winning black voters around 85-15 in this poll meaning that for that margin to exist, Trump must be at the very least running even with Hispanic voters, which would be a result unlike any other poll and highly unlikely (and CNN knows it too, which is why non-white is lumped into one group and not separated). Anything for the headlines though.

That said I want the fear of Trump to be REAL so I don't mind these results. He will lose but only if people actually vote.

Is Bernie speaking tonight? I wonder if he will say anything about the email mess.

Yea. If he doesn't gather his people then he's useless. Then again I'm not sure there's anything he can do, they're no longer his people. The busters aren't progressives, they're Ron Paul anti-establishment anarchists.

We'll know early how this convention will go at least. If the busters are still throwing their tantrum after tonight then just leave them be.

Also, I'm really glad I switched my volunteer position to Thursday, it was supposed to be today.
