Quite the speech by Hillary. History has been made. Not since 96 years ago when women were given voting rights in America, has a woman accepted her party's nomination to win the presidency come this November.
Wow! What a moment when Hillary gave her acceptance speech. Whether she is likeable or not in the eyes of the American electorate, compared to the blustering buffoon that is Donald Trump, she comes across as a far saner, reserved, steady, and experienced leader.

I'm not a fan of either one but Clinton is definitely the only sane choice.

Real Clear's polling averages have Clinton ahead in North Carolina and just behind in Arizona and Georgia. If Clinton could flip those three states(and keep the rest of the solid Democratic states) then she could lose Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia and Iowa and still win the election.

It's crazy, and, I'm pretty sure, criminal. Honestly, I'm not sure what worries me most about it - that he's not aware enough to understand he needs to parse his words to be exceptionally clear that they aren't interpreted by some of the crazies that follow him as a suggestion that they take matters into their own hands, or that he does and he simply does not care/wants people to interpret things that way.

There are those who believe that Trump is not fit to be president due to his temperament and off-the-cuff comments. If that is a marker by which one is judged based on their performance throughout their campaign tenure, then it is a definite and precise fact.
I shudder to think what a Trump presidency will bring. Some people defending Trump may bring up the fact that the man is a businessman first, not an objective-speaking, lying politician. While that is true, still, it doesn't absolve the fact that Trump's manners, choice of words and sense of indifference have irked, offended, and annoyed many already. All of this without him being a politician. Something to ponder, indeed.
His "business" acumen is suspect at best. He has been bankrupt 4 times, and had some
very very dubious forays like Trump University to name just one. He's riding on the
name recognition just like the Kardashian's - and leveraging that into a "brand" and selling
that only.
Something that will be taking a hit very soon if not already.

It makes a certain degree of sense. He's not going to try to debate on the facts so who better to go to for a crash course in empty rhetoric and name calling.
The optics of it are bad, sure, but it's not like there are people supporting him right now that'll see this as a breaking point.

I mean you have leading Trump people endorsing 'Afghanistan was Obama's war', 'Obama created ISIS (but not in the way where leaving Iraq was the cause even though a lot of the policy to make that happen was signed under Bush)' and outright making up medical diagnoses about Clinton.
Then you had Ru9/11dy Gu9/11ill9/11iani making statements how there were no terrorist attacks on US soil in the 8 years prior to Obama.
Trump is a car-wreck and the only people that are going to formally latch on to him at this point are other disasters.

I found this pretty funny. LK will cringe:

I routinely do this for my patients:
Hector, while small of hand is most certainly well endowed.
I have had patients write letters to employers/judges/lawyers and they ask me to put a signature on them. I don't, I offer to write my own letters and they most certainly don't read like what they hand me. What I just read in that article is something that reads like Donald wrote it himself and then paid someone to sign off on it.

Clinton's 1996 comment brought up by Trump:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary called African-American youth "SUPER PREDATORS" - Has she apologized?
