  1. The link isn't working, KevinG. Yeah the fear of Trump supporters is not unfounded --- usually politicians temper their fervent supporters (like McCain did in 08). Trump has only been stoking it.
  2. Definitely would like read your thoughts on the show --- I think XM is broadcasting it - hopefully I can tune in. Melvin was on the XM Tales (talk) show yesterday and Gans/Lambert talked to him about tonight's show.
  3. Last night my wife reminded me of the PUMA's who supported Clinton in 08. I forgot all about them. I do wonder how I would have reacted if Obama would have lost in the '08 primery - the wife and I were involved in the campaign, etc --- I don't remember ever thinking that I wouldn't vote for Clinton, though. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/they-were-hillary-clintons-die-hard-loyalists-heres-where-they-are-now/2015/05/02/82025cf2-e92a-11e4-aae1-d642717d8afa_story.html
  4. Where does the Alligator fit in --- by far my favorite. Then probably when he was playing a SG in 69. Wolf is up there, too. Though I guess the Alligator and SG were not specifically made for Garcia - which I think was what you going for.
  5. Great night last night. They should have put Kaine on Tuesday night or even tonight - he was a bit out classed last night - though Kaine didn't too bad. Bloomberg was effective, too. If I was the DNC, I probably would not have put Leon Panetta on stage - of course he was going to get the wrath of Sanders supporters, but I would guess Panetta knew that going in -- it was an awkward speech and not very effective. I don't think DNC needed him to go on stage to talk about Trump's lack of foreign policy at all - I think we all get it, already.
  6. Very true and she should hold a press conference or two - but she has answered plenty from the Congress --- maybe Trump can get in front of a Judge and answer some questions.
  7. I think this will all change in the general election. Of course, the press/news makes their money with ratings and Trump is great for business. Hopefully the press will pivot in the general and start pressing for truth (on both sides) - the ratings will be there regardless. Of course Trump supporters - for the most part, I would guess - does not even follow the regular network news - so it doesn't matter what 'mainstream' news says. Some Sanders's supporters are in the same boat. Ted Koppel'a interview with Trump was pretty good --- Koppel was dismissive at times, but I think Trump des
  8. I would have thought there would have been some sort of reaction from within the hall once Clinton surpassed the magic number, though. It may be typical though --- the whole not showing the tally from within the hall, I don't know.
  9. Yeah -- i meant on the actual hall screens -- so the people in the actual hall, unless they were paying attention via phones or jotting down the numbers - didn't know.
  10. I want to say that Hillary did have the magic number when they got to Vermont - but I can be wrong about that , though I did watch the roll call yesterday -- it was interesting that the DNC did not show the actual tally in the hall during the roll call. I am sure Sanders stipulated that he wanted all the States to do their thing, prior to him declaring an end -- which is probably the right thing to do, anyway. Good point about Clinton in 2008 - I forgot that she squashed it when it got to New York. (just checked - South Dakota put Clinton over the top - so she did have enough, prior to V
  11. This past weekend, I thought Ted Koppel did a decent job interviewing Trump -- the interview aired on CBS Sunday Morning. Agreed the press needs to step up.
  12. Agree about Banks - horrible job. Did you ever find out who's in the house band, jff -- or is the music canned -- I never noticed a band playing, but they may be off or near-off stage.
  13. Different, for obvious reasons, but he did good job. Hillary Clinton's little talk was odd - not sure if the music was suppose to stop, but it was distracting. I am sure they will get some flack for the theatrics. Nice touch for Sanders to declare an end to the delegate vote - just like Hillary Clinton did in 2008. Also nice touch that a childhood friend of hers announced her Illinois' delegate count.
  14. Yeah, I was watching it during her speech and you can tell she was getting a little peeved - I was waiting for her to say something. I can see why Warren was not picked as a VP mate -- I am in step with her are far as policy goes - but she's no Kaine on the stump; of course all the dumb heckling probably didn't help her. A missed opportunity for her. Sanders and Michelle Obama were definitely the highlights. Hopefully the Sanders' crowd got it all out their system yesterday -- I am sure some of it will roll over to today's delegate roll call - as it should - but than after that, hopefull
  15. What a strange, poor year thus far the White Sox -- now, Sale is cutting up uniforms in the club house...Ugh! Ventura has to go. At least there was April.
  16. I thought Kaine's 1st speech after he was introduced by Clinton was a good - sure he was pandering, but that's politics. Might help get some of the middle of the road Republicans/Independents to the polls for the ticket, because they are not Trump/Pence. I would have preferred a more progressive running mate - I laughed when Clinton introduced Kaine as a 'progressive'.
  17. Can't see him playing with again, either -- he had plenty of opportunities, it seems.
  18. I can't see any Sanders supporters voting for Trump - I voted for Sanders and will vote for Clinton in the general. Not sure why any Sanders supporter would bother voting for Trump - I would think they would vote for another party or not vote at all for a President. Does anybody actually know any Sander's supporters who said they are voting for Trump? I haven't looked into it at all - perhaps out of fear of my head exploding reading up on it...
  19. Yikes - and I thought it was hot here (Chicagoland) - it's spring, compared.
  20. Hall and Oates at a shed - free Ticketmaster tickets. It will be show time decision though - it's too f'n hot, for a show that we are only mildly interested in. Since we have a sitter already planned out, perhaps a nice dinner and drinks with the wife will suffice.
