Well Captain, since you brought it up.
Tonight the dems will hold the first of their long-awaited debates.
I can hardly wait to see them trying to out-left each other.
Let's take a quick look at a few of their superstars.
And that's just a quick look at a few of the clowns they're pinning all their hope s and dreams on.
But now let's take a peek at what their party platform has devolved into.
Kevin McGinty
Lol, sicking but true. I wonder how they got that many numb nuts into one party..? Good Grief.
ReplyDeleteSarge, I've posted several articles on Facebook. Are the emails still coming?
ReplyDeleteNo they are not thanks, you did good!!! I just don't use face Book anymore but can't seem to get off of it. ( I'm never going to talk bad about again) lol
ReplyDeleteLol... I'm going to hold you to that...
ReplyDeleteAnyway the amateurs will be at their freaky best tonight. The press will try to have one or the other gain traction, but with the amount of time they have, I don't expect any will break away.
ReplyDeleteNow gaffes, those I think may occur and drop someone way back. But what is a gaffe to these people is probably really the truth.
Most likely to actually say something sane: Gabbard, Ryan
Most likely to entertain the way a Godzilla movie entertains: DeBlasio, Castro, Beto
Most likely to put you to sleep: Warren, Klobuchar, Booker
But this is going to be one grotty performance. With Biden AND Bernie on the following night, it might not even matter much tonight.
After a good first few months, Mayor Butt seems to have run plumb out of luck. That "town hall" of his was a hum-dinger. But thanks for playing - he can pick up his consolation prize at the door.
Just think of what could have happened for Mayor Butt if he had decided to channel his inner Bill Clinton and had a Sister Soulja moment. He'd have stood up to BLM and showed himself has a strong public official. Instead he pleased no one and, while he could still blow away Beto, is going to be an also-ran.
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of these fools are desperately trying to appease the lunatic fringe of their base in order to get the nomination.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately (for them) socialism and open borders won't play so well once they're forced to deal with the adults...
And they have only themselves to blame...
ReplyDeleteWho comes up with the biggest howlers tonight? The press, for obvious reasons, will try to convince you that Gabbard loses, come what may. Anyone who sounds like an "Islamaphobe" must not be allowed to play. If Beto decides to start sounding like a deep thinker, he may really do something humorous.
ReplyDeleteBut since nobody gets a large amount of time, nobody gains much or loses much. And as Kevin said, what's music to the ears of the "woke" Dam / Dim / Dum / Dem electorate is toxic to most of the rest of the voters.
What about you, Blue?
ReplyDeleteYou gonna tune in to watch the best and brightest your party can scrape up?
Hell, Kevin, you just KNOW he's going to end up voting for one of them. Keeping it real, he'd vote for ANY of them. And he makes fun of us for lack of discretion!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of "scraping up," most of these are more like something you scrape off - the sole of your shoe.
Lol... Agreed...
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right about the media discrediting anyone that isn't 100% pro-insanity.
ReplyDeleteI remember in the early stages of 2016 and one of the last democrat that wasn't completely off the rails.
I think his name was Webb or some such.
He disappeared a couple of days after the first debate where he affirmed his support of the second amendment...
I suppose it has some value. The debates, that is. Comic relief.
ReplyDeleteStephen Crowder is doing a live stream at the same time, and I'm sure it will be epic.
And just for the record. Trump raised $25 million on the day he made his official announcement.
ReplyDeleteThat's more than the combined tota1for every lunatic democrat combined.
And as of this afternoon his contributions are sitting at $36 million.
Sorry Blue, but the lie you've swallowed about everyone hating Trump as much as you do is just that.
A lie...
Good to hear from you Hammer.
ReplyDeleteYou doing okay?
Yes sir. Doing great, Kevin. Looking through the windshield is a brighter perspective than staring at the darkness in the rearview. In the last six months, alot has happened. Alot has changed. That's life. We all live it, and are better for it. Mama said. So.....
ReplyDeleteLike I said, comic relief will be nice. Whole stage of clowns for sure.
And Mama always knows best.
ReplyDeleteComic relief coming our way courtesy of what the democrats have allowed their once proud political party to become...
Nope I can't watch the zoo tonight, I am going to bed, just not wasting my time. Good night room 235...
ReplyDeleteSleep well Sarge. We'll fill you in in the morning...
ReplyDelete5 minutes to Showtime!!!
ReplyDeleteLol... The fake Mexican just couldn't help but start speaking Spanish...
ReplyDeleteLol... whoever she is sure does talk a lot but never even came close to answering the question...
ReplyDeleteDid you notice the look Booker gave Beto as he was doing his Jose Jimenez routine?? Priceless!!!
ReplyDeleteWell Kevin, it looks like we’re getting to do the play by play. What do you think so far?
ReplyDeleteI ve been trying to watch off and on but this is just so phony balony I may have to catch the high lites tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's turning out exactly how I expected.
ReplyDeleteThey're all trying to out crazy each other. They're all trying to score points on the drowning of the dad and daughter. They're babbling on about caging kids which started during the Obama administration.
And they're all rooting for illegals over the American people.
Good luck with that in the general election...
Come one come all...
ReplyDeleteLol... Claiming the caged children are literally laying in their own snot and diapers that haven't been changed in three weeks.
ReplyDeleteLie much?
Well its pretty easy to tell who these jerks are wanting to come out smelling like a rose. I have yet to hear a few of these even open their mouths. They should be getting the message by the end of night that the DNC doesn't want and isn't going to let them win any thing.
ReplyDeleteI just love the saying " When I am president" LOL
ReplyDeleteLol... Spartacus will be president about the same time pigs fly...
ReplyDeleteKevin, was I far wrong to say that if B. Obama were in this race he’d be at the far right edge?
ReplyDeleteAnd with that I'm outta here. 1:30 comes way early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and be well my friends...
Yes, but he’s done better this debate. Big Loser: Beto. Why don’t you just plead for the illegal vote (otherwise I’m done for)?
ReplyDeleteNot wrong at all.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good example of how far left the democrats have gone...
I have yet to hear that big tall pos on the end say a word. Its fun to see the loser's loosing even more on national tv and having the DNC do it. Stabbed in the back and then having their throats cut. LOL Wonder how many of them will throw the towel in after tonite? The writing is on the ole wall. Remember how they treated that guy Webb?
ReplyDeleteSkip, they won’t throw in the towel because they crave power. Their fondest wish is to tell such as me and you what to do. And that, my friend, is going to be a problem.
ReplyDeleteWell They have run me off. Out of sight out of mind.
ReplyDeleteSo did any of them ever actually answer a question or did they just keep parroting their talking points?
ReplyDeleteGood Grief I see I didn't miss a damn thing except a good laugh, and good morning to you normal people in room 235.
ReplyDeleteDid you all hear the video Trump made of the mic issue they had? LOL
ReplyDeleteI am going on record right now, I am saying that dead dad and child that drowned was staged who drowns and lay on the bank side by side face down together??? Not possible!!! Just saying... Photo Op!
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought about it before but it does make sense...
ReplyDeleteThere's no level these people won't sink to...
G'morning y'all.
ReplyDeletedidn't want to watch the clown show last night. got enough of a recap this morning when I got up with Rick and caught bits and pieces of the early morning news. Of course the liberal biased media is praising their group of idiots - and I had to laugh when they said that Booker and Warren were winners of the debate that Trump should be worried.... had to blurt out at the tv... bullshit!
Those idiots think they're so clever, etc.... they don't have a snowballs chance in hell of defeating President Trump.

With Voter Data And A Volunteer Army, A Whole New Trump Campaign For 2020
June 27, 20195:00 AM ET
The Trump rally soundtrack still includes "Tiny Dancer" and "Memory," the theme from Cats. There are still chants of "lock her up" and "build that wall." But four years later, this isn't the same shoestring Trump campaign that stumbled its way to victory in 2016.
One indication of the difference came the night before President Trump's attention-grabbing rally in Orlando to kick of his re-election effort. Volunteers gathered at a Brazilian steakhouse in a nondescript strip mall a few miles away. In a banquet hall with sticky floors and ice-cold air conditioning, the volunteers responded to an hour-long PowerPoint presentation with enthusiastic hoots and hollers.
They were there to learn the process for registering voters and how to leverage their own social media accounts to spread the word about Trump's accomplishments.
"You guys are the key to victory on November 3rd, 2020. I mean that sincerely. I mean that with all of my heart," said campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany, who was a surprise special guest at the training. "We at the campaign can only do so much. You hold the keys to victory."
The training session in Orlando was one of more than a thousand similar sessions all over the country put on that week by the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign.
In 2016, the Trump campaign didn't gain access to the RNC's data and volunteer operations until after he secured the nomination midway through 2016. While it had been an uncomfortable marriage then, this time around, the Republican party and the Trump campaign are essentially one and the same and they are working to build an army of volunteers.
"He is the headliner. He's the blockbuster but there's something that I want to talk about that is just as important," Elliott Echols told the volunteers, referring to Trump.
Part 2
ReplyDeleteEchols is the national field director for the RNC talked to the volunteers about the importance of organizing. It's a buzzword campaigns have been using for years to describe on-the-ground campaign work, building relationships with volunteers, learning about what drives supporters and registering people to vote.
The rallies, he explained, are a great way to find Trump supporters who may not be traditional Republican voters.
"They're not just Republicans that come to these rallies, guys. They're not just registered voters that come to these rallies," said Echols. "We see it in the data from people that signed up. Obviously, we have over 100,000 people signed up. There are a lot of people that are signed up that we don't have any voter registration information on them because they're not registered."
Each one of those more than 100,000 people who tried to get one of the 20,000 tickets for the rally had to give the campaign an email addresses and phone number, meaning the campaign and RNC now have up-to-date contact information for likely Trump voters.
"And then we can cross-reference that information with our data and voter rolls to see who these individuals are," said Rick Gorka, a spokesman for the RNC. "So now, you're in our system."
The rallies, he explains, are a focal point, "a jolt of energy, enthusiasm that you just can't recreate." The next day, volunteers start knocking on doors, making phone calls, making sure the people they contact are registered to vote, interested in volunteering or attending a meetup event and generally trying to pull all those people into the fold.
"Our data is only so good as the people who use it to knock on the doors," said McEnany.
"We can isolate the few million doors that will determine the election," said McEnany. "We can isolate the message. We know exactly what you know person at 123 Avenue in Wisconsin wants to hear about. But if we don't have the volunteers to operationalize that with the training, to operationalize the data, we don't have anything."
As part of the training, the volunteers were given a peek at how the campaign's organizing and data-gathering fit into the bigger picture. There were slides about Democratic voter registration efforts in past years and the edge it gave them in close races. And there were hints at how the information they would be gathering would help Trump's campaign.
Volunteer Adele Amico's back hurt from the four and a half hour drive she made to get there to the training. But by the time the PowerPoint presentation was over, she was energized and ready to brave the Florida heat and humidity the next day.
Part 3
ReplyDelete"They're realizing that you have a captive audience of thousands of people and they're standing there, let's capture the information," Amico said. "So that is very cool."
She snapped a photo with McEnany, then headed out to find some Ibuprofin.
The next day she was one of approximately 60 volunteers in neon green shirts who fanned out into the crowd of people waiting to get into Trump's rally.
"We're here to help you," Nick Balevich shouted, clipboard in hand. "Is anyone here not registered to vote?"
Balevich has always been a Republican. But, frustrated with George W Bush and the Iraq war, he tuned out in 2008 and 2012. But after attending several Trump rallies in 2016, he started volunteering.
Other volunteers asked people in line to sign a petition to support Florida's governor Ron DeSantis on legislation related to sanctuary cities and to support Trump on immigration policy.
In order to win signed memorabilia, they'd also need to write down their address and other contact information. It was another way for the campaign and RNC to gather information about rally attendees and their views.
"They're trying to learn what issues motivate their supporters and what that information is valuable for is messaging to turn people out to vote," said Robby Mook, who managed Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign with an emphasis on organizing.
What the Trump campaign and Republican party are doing isn't new. It's an approach first pioneered by George W Bush's re-election campaign in 2004. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton refined the tactics further but the analytical tools are more powerful than ever.
"Computing power has just gotten a lot more effective over the last few years and so gathering this data at a mass level helps you generate insights that can be powerful," said Mook. He called efforts to harness all the data a "space race" between the parties.
According to Bully Pulpit Interactive, which tracks social media advertising by campaigns, the Trump campaign amped up its Facebook ad spending in Florida in the two weeks leading up to the rally, and including number of ads related to immigration. Facebook ads are a cheaper, faster way for campaigns to test which messages work.
The more a campaign can learn about its supporters, the more effectively it can use that information to get them out to vote come Election Day. And Mook says he expects 2020 won't be about persuasion, instead it will be about turning out core supporters on both sides.
"I believe the campaigns are going to be more focused on squeezing out their base a little bit more than they are trying to win the middle," said Mook. "And so in that in that strategic setting, it's really really important to understand who your base is and understand the kinds of people that are excited and how to get them even more excited."
And Mook says that with a massive Democratic field that's still sorting itself out, the Trump campaign has a big head start in terms of organizing. It's just one of the advantages of incumbency.

Congress passes Trump's border crisis funding bill
By Stephen Dinan and Gabriella Muñoz - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 27, 2019
Congress on Thursday approved $4.6 billion in emergency aid to deal with the border crisis, giving President Trump both a symbolic victory on immigration and money to improve conditions for migrant children and families crowding the border.
The House voted 305-102 to approve the bill, which cleared the Senate a day earlier.
The money will be used to expand shelters for Unaccompanied Alien Children in custody of the Health Department, and to provide more space for illegal immigrant families at the border in Homeland Security’s custody.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had entered the day vowing to fight Mr. Trump, saying Democrats wouldn’t agree to any bill that didn’t include strict new rules on detention centers. Democrats also wanted to delete money for the Pentagon and ICE.
But by the afternoon, after looking at political risks and realities, Mrs. Pelosi blinked, and put the Senate bill up for a vote as-is.
She was not happy about it.
“We could have done so much better,” she said, vowing the fight isn’t over. “It will be the battle cry.”
Mrs. Pelosi had worked all week to maintain unity behind a partisan version of the border funding bill. She told fellow Democrats that was her “leverage” as she battled Mr. Trump and Senate Republicans.
But too many of her caucus members said the fight was less important than getting money to children as quickly as possible.
“It is an emergency on the border right now. We need to get money to the border as soon as possible,” said Rep. Stephanie Murphy, Florida Democrat. “The fastest way for us to get necessary money to the border is to take up the Senate bill.”
In the end, most Democrats agreed. A majority voted for the Senate bill.
Liberal Democrats took to Twitter to vent.
Some blamed moderates in their own caucus — Rep. Mark Pocan, Wisconsin Democrat, called them “the child abuse caucus” — while others said they were betrayed by Senate Democrats, who linked arms with Republicans to craft a bipartisan deal Mr. Trump could sign.
“Senate Dems put us in a terrible position,” tweeted Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Washington Democrat. “Senate bill does absolutely nothing to hold a rogue administration accountable for cruelty.”

1. Another victory for President Trump.

3. "Liberal Democrats took to Twitter to vent."
In January, Pelosi was labeled as this in the New York Times:
"New York Times: Nancy Pelosi, a Woman in Control, Is a Rival Who Flummoxes Trump"
"When President Trump is battling a man, he tends to belittle his foe with nicknames like “Cryin’ Chuck” and “Low-energy Jeb.” When he is in a fight with a woman, he is known to lob insults like “horseface” and “ugly” and “dog.”
But Mr. Trump has never before faced an adversary like Speaker Nancy Pelosi."
Kinda wonder how the New York Times will say about Pelosi now... curious minds need to know...
Yup Trump pockets another win!!! MAGA
DeleteLol... I'm not watching it either. All it's gonna be is a repeat of last night.
ReplyDeleteThe way they're all pandering to the illegals you would almost think they were all running for president of Mexico...
