If you are one of those who thought the Republican convention was off the rails, wait until you hear the goings on even before the Democrat’s begin their convention. First…the Democrat email server gets hacked. Most believe by the Russians. And if you think a protected server gets easily hacked, think of what they have on Hillary’s unprotected server. Trump was probably correct saying she can be blackmailed. The hacked emails prove that the Democrat’s were working against Sen. Bernie Sanders. Even talking about bringing his religion, or no religion, into the negatives against him. Any and everything done to stop Sanders from hurting Hillary. Remember he won 23 primaries and his followers are almost fanatical. So what happens? Democrat Party chair woman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz gets the heave ho on the eve of their convention. They now had to find someone last minute as an interim Party chairman. Emails even show Schultz working with politico.com. Feeding them info and approving their stories before publication. Schultz takes the fall for the Clinton’s mischief as usual. If that isn’t screwy enough, word is Hillary is going to let Schultz speak to the convention likely on Monday.
Naturally Sanders followers are up in arms. NBC is reporting thousands are now or will be soon taking to the streets in protest. They feel betrayed in several ways. They thought they would get a progressive VP candidate. Obviously it’s a Clinton betrayal using their Party chair woman who was more than happy to comply. Their system was rigged. Hillary is now moving more towards the middle politically. She selects Senator Tim Kaine as her vice president election. Not a bad choice. He’s rather bland, but speaking Spanish is a real plus for her. Especially in the critical State of Florida. But, Kaine is way too moderate for the Sanders supporters. All that Sen. Sanders worked for is down the drain. It is now estimated close to 90% of his followers are working to find a new movement. Trying to find a way to dump Kaine from the ticket. Futile, but protesters may create havoc on the convention floor. Perhaps a walk out when Sen. Kaine comes out to speak. To them, Kaine is unacceptable.
Meanwhile, the thought being why would the Russians leak those damaging emails? Most believe Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Donald Trump to be elected. Why? Who knows. But, incredible as it is, the Russians are interfering with American Presidential politics. Again, my goodness, think of what they got from Hillary’s destroyed emails. Our national security exposed.
So what is Donald Trump up to now? For what it’s worth, Trump never uses emails. After a weekend of rest, rest assured Trump will tweet and campaign his way through Ohio and Pennsylvania this week. He’s probably going to blow up the email/Russian scandal that is no small thing. One can almost hear him now beginning Monday. If anybody knows how to get attention, no matter the circumstances, it’s “The Donald.” There is no clear poll as yet as to any bump he got from the Republican convention. Only the CNN poll immediately after his speech showing 75% approved of his message. But, their internal State polls indicate Trump is even or winning in some States that have not voted Republican in decades. He leads in Connecticut of all places. And most battleground States.
Of note, Fox News not only received the highest ratings against CNN and MSNBC convention coverage, but they also beat all the main network coverage. Keep in mind, millions do not have cable.
So stand by everyone, we’re about to hear from Michelle Obama Monday, likely Sanders as well trying to quiet his followers and fired Debbie Wasserman Schultz. But, that okay by me. At least we won’t have to hear that awful screeching noise coming out of the mouth of Hillary Clinton. Hearing her trying to rem up a crowd with raising her voice is about as inspiring as a bunch of cheerleaders performing to a mostly empty stadium.
