2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnyone heard the latest "conservative" meme about bussing people into the DNC and giving away
tickets in bars?
What's the scoop on this? When I Google I find freepers and Michele Malkin.

That's why Republicans can relax about November, 'cause we're so outnumbered the R's don't need to show up and vote.

(375 posts)He said that Democrats had pissed God off when they removed the works from the platform. Also he claimed we turned our back on Israel and Jerusalam. I told him to go to Hell. He responded that lighting would have struck the stage.
Its better that it was moved indoors. Nobody gets hit by rain or lightning. Indoors its a packed house.
Did you ask him what Republicans did to piss off God so much that he sent hurricanes to disrupt the past two RNCs?

(1,186 posts)Did RMoney give his speech in a packed football stadium? No. WOuld he be able to fill one? No.
Would the Koch brothers rent busloads and give away tickets if they could get enough to fill the stadium. Of course they would.
Why didn't they? Because no one wanted to see RMoney.

She represented this as some kind of mainstream source and chided me for not being informed. Wintery Knight? Really?

(24,461 posts)to make it seem like people like Democrats (see Wellstone memorial). It's like they can't believe that people actually like Democrats, President Obama, et. al. It's a crap meme and, frankly, a sign of desperation IMHO that they can't get a lot of people to like their candidate this year. Even Ann Romney seems to be getting unhinged about it.
