The Republican&Democratic Conventions

I don't know what to make of your statement, Phat.It would be very surprising if the House Speaker showed up to the Democratic Party convention, what with Paul Ryan being a Republican.Nancy Pelosi is not the House Speaker. She is the minority leader. She was present at the convention breakfast at which she received a substantial amount of booing.

Okay. How could we have recognized her from the term "speaker"?

Overall, the convention had some interesting moments. I would have to consider the convention a non-event in terms of putting wind under Trump's sails. Perhaps it will result in flushing what some here have called the unflushable, namely Ted Cruz. If so, that would be the highlight.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Did anybody actually try such a stunt?I understand there is a separate question regarding the DNC making any moves/suggestions, legitimate or not, to help Clinton, but calling this particular suggestion unsavory or odious is probably a gross understatement. I doubt that the tactic would be a highly successful approach among black folks, or that it would even have been necessary. By and large, religious black evangelicals are just as much pro Israel as are white evangelist Christians. And the potential downside of playing these kinds of discrimination games would be incredible for anyone not named Trump.Fairly stupid idea, no matter who thought of it.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

It is collusion if the proposed idea was actually pulled off.Today's wikileaks release is from hacked voicemails at the DNC. It contains calls from a bunch of folks complaining about the DNC bending over backwards to favor Bernie Sanders.http://thehill.com/...kileaks-releases-hacked-dnc-voicemailsAgain, the leaks do discuss favoritism for Hilary, but an odious plan that was never carried out is not much to complain about.
