American Presidential candidates GoP/Dems
Discussion
A brilliant night last night, my only worry is how they will top it. The contrast with last week is stark. The GOP convention painted a dark and depressing picture, last night was hopeful and unifying. Hell, we even had Paul Simon singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water". 
Don't under estimate the power of what Sarah Silverman said. She's been so vocal in support of Bernie and is very popular with the young lefties who support him. She was off script and improvising with Al Franken as they had to fill while Paul Simon set up. Her "You're being ridiculous" comment to the Bernie or Busters was off the cuff and really resonated.
The democrats are united. There will be a few who want an even more progressive agenda who will drift Greenwards and that's fine. They were going there before Bernie ran. He was magnificent and unequivocal in his endorsement. Trump was reduced to his pathetic Pocahontas tweeting again. What an utter arse.

Many of the other comedians are actually amusing though.
His audiences of 4.6 mil tend to disagree with you. I quite like his bits on brexit/trump. I can see why brexiters might be tad upset. Unknown here.

I don't understand how any human being can hear Cheryl Lankford's story, or those of thousands of others who were scammed by this Ponzi scheme, and not detest Donald Trump.

The shy tory effect on polls is well known. The shy leaver effect was discussed here but ingored by the pollsters and whaddya know. This morning an american friend raised the subject of shy republicans, ashamed to admit they are going to vote for Trump... Even with Trump, incredibly, ahead, I wonder how accurate the US polls are and are they infact undercounting his vote? Blimey.
In other news, who the fvck goes to these conventions? What a bunch of wierdos.
