So how was it ctlawyer?

I found it very interesting and enjoyed many of the speakers. I think it served it purpose to instill a feeling of party unity and harmony.

I attended my first National Democratic Convention back in 1968. They are truly media events. The platform is decided in meetings between the major primary vote getters and the delegates are presIented with a fait acompli.

I enjoyed seeing old friend/acquaintances from across the USA. I am supporting Clinton because I have no faith in Trump’s ability to listen to reason and not shoot from the hip or shoot off his mouth. He is an equal opportunity offender.

Having known Clinton since she was in Law School at Yale in my hometown of New Haven, I can say that she has stayed true to her political beliefs. Trump has been all over the place, pro-life, pro-choice, Democrat, Republican, middle of the road, pseudo conservative. But mostly he has been an opportunist who only looks out for Trump.

I just came from a Town Council meeting that took 4 hours and was dealing with buying 4 acres of land. The general consensus of the Republican majority on the Council was that they’ll vote for Trump, because he’s a Republican (and they vote party line) but they’ll not campaign for, donate to or install his yard signs or bumper stickers. He embarrasses the party members.

Trump has been on both sides of every issue, and has picked up voters from both sides for that reason. Each is convinced that he’s lying to the other, and both are okay with that.
