How the Fuck did the GOP Convention

[edhopper]

give Trump a bounce?

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Seriously, how could anyone watch that shit sow and then decide to vote for Trumpolini?

It boggles the mind.

1. People didn't watch that shitshow, they watched snippets and heard soundbites.

People couldn't stop playing pokemon long enough to watch that hate fest.

2. Just like Scarborough said, the news is doing a disservice to it's viewers by

taking the actions of a handful of crazy killers (here and abroad) and making it appear much bigger - conflating it into a universal hatred of police and America. Low information people, who glance at the TV screen in a public place see this and think the whole world is falling apart. And, there's Trump, speaking in three word sentences, confirming this to them.

4. +1!!

[Ilsa]

3. And NBC says he didn't get a bounce, per their

SurveyMonkey whatever.

[edhopper]

5. Nate Silver

is saying he got a small bounce.

I don't get how anybody watched that and he didn't drop by 10 points.

[Ilsa]

6. Even Joe Scab was dissing their stupid convention.

Poorly organized, mostly the Trump Trust Fund Hostages (Stephenie Miller's term) doing the talking. Said that during prime time, people were walking out, badly attended while on TV

11. since nobody watched, it didn't hurt him much

Scott Baio failed to bring in viewers

[unblock]

7. some people don't pay attention, and simply support the nominee once it's official.

not much more complicated than that.

8. it's name recognition--same way Trump won the primary--get the name a ton of free media, and the

polling will wobble upwards.

But his primary is over and now it's our turn

9. About 40% of the people in this country are complete idiots.

How's that for simple.

[edhopper]

12. I am seeing Trump getting 45% to 48% in the polls now.

I know that won't stick, but still that is a lot of stupid.

[CanonRay]

14. It's the idiots and their even more stupid friends?

[GeorgeGist]

10. As most of us have observed ...

there's a lot of STUPID in this country.

[spanone]

13. there is a shitload of mean, hateful ass people in this country.
