Who thinks we should drown out any and all noise they make at the convention?

That's what we should do: Just drown them out.

If they want to try to invade and undermine the convention, we should return the favor, but not play nice with them, and basically respond to them with overwhelming force, so much that their message won't even be clear.

Their convention begins the first of September, but let's drown them out, who's in?

1. Well, my liberal Dem nephew is at UMinn this summer.
I'll send him in my stead if he's in town!

2. Wouldn't it be better if their message came across loud and clear?
They've got NOTHING. They're rehashing the same tired talking points and everyone already knows how that's working for U.S..

Additionally, it'd drive them, as well as the MSM f*ing crazy if we just ignored them - though, a little patronizing laughter wouldn't hurt.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the MSM is going to work the Clinton's into the discussion.

3. It's not our "style"... and if we did it, we wouyld be criticized
Republicans are bomb-throwing, in-your-face bullies..they are expected to be crass, rude & obnoxious..

What I WOULD like to see though , next time is this..

ONLY dems being interviewed during OUR convention, and only republicans during theirs..

Surely for TWO stinking weeks, the press could indulge us all by showing each event at its best..and let the people decide..

We've all heard the same talking points, and maybe people would actually like to listen to and watch the speeches, instead of seeing the talking heads schmoozing with and interviewing each other..
