The GOP convention was a disaster.
Now the Democrats are going to try to tell everyone it was a success.
The message from Democrats at their convention in Philadelphia will be to ignore last weeks mess of plagiarism, along with the total lack of GOP unity behind Donald Trump including Texas Sen. Ted Cruzs refusal to endorse the nominee.
Job number one for every Democrat will be to drive home the idea that Trump, for all the mistakes by the lake in Cleveland, is a legitimate political sensation, a giant ready to bestride his critics and claim the White House.
The point is to jolt Hillary Clintons voters, funders and young activists out of any illusion any comfortable condescension that it will be an easy win in a presidential race against an opponent they regard with disdain: Trump.

CNN poll today has Trump 48 Clinton 45. And yet the discussion on here is dominated by stupid DNC emails. Democrats are our own worst enemy.

vote for him. What if the young voters that supported Berrie stay home like they did in the off years.
