    @Larry But, if you look at per cent of seniors who vote versus other age groups, then maybe Vice President Biden will get more votes from the two parades. LOL (though I think that President Trump has pretty high approval among seniors)

      Remember that video segment where Trump spoke at a naturalization swearing in ceremony in the White House?

      https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/30/chad-wolf-naturalization-republican-convention-405214

      "Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said Sunday that he did not know a video in which he participated in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast during the Republican National Convention."

      Do you believe him?

        Ax 'ol pal 'ol bud, my mind-reading isn't even in the same universe as yours.
        So, do I believe him?
        Am I suppose to? Or, not.
        See, it's so much easier to mindread, when you are feigning asking just a simple, innocent little question, don't you think, where you already know the answer?
        I tried. Can't do it. Just can't do it. I bow to your mastery. Your cognitive ability is like a pinball machine compared to mine.

          Those clips are embarrassing for Trump, but they are also embarrassing for the persons in the video. How somebody like Ted Cruz can support Trump with a straight face after what he said about him is beyond me.

            “Across their respective four nights of programming, the Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention.“

            The TV viewership numbers are in. The Democratic National Convention has won the TV viewership comparison.

            That’s interesting. Winning side got more viewers in every election for the last quarter century.

            Yep, and Republicans had six times as many people streaming their convention than the Dems. If you count total eyeballs, the GOP had more people watching.

            Secondly, Biden got no bounce. Trump did. That's interesting...

                    Good comments, as usual, TG.

                    Kamala Harris who polled at 3% during her brief run for the presidency, In fact, she dropped out before the first primary was held, and now, all of a sudden, she's the greatest thing since indoor plumbing?

                    Color me skeptical, but she was chosen only on the basis of her gender and race.

                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      More RNC bait-and-switch shenanigans:

                      "Three NYC public housing tenants said they were tricked into appearing in a Republican National Convention video. Lynne Patton, a HUD official, interviewed them for the video, which they thought would be used to highlight issues in public housing."

                      https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/28/nyregion/nyc-tenants-rnc-video-trump.html

                      “I am not a Trump supporter,” one of the tenants said, adding that she was furious that her interview with a government official was used for the convention.

                          Man, you're changing the forum, country and world like a Superman!
                          Everything you copy/paste turns into like, a combination of Aristotle and Shakespeare. It's so like, deep-like and ULTRA convincing. And you do all that without even having to think. Amazing!

                          Good job, as always. I'm definitely voting for Biden. All because of you, bud.

                                    Omg Ax is going to be so embarrassed.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      I'm going to wait for the New York Times' retraction.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          I guess Ax has moved on just like the NYT. He has offered no retort and no capitulation.
