Hillary's Campaign Kickoff


Recommended Posts

Oh, no doubt Hillary will win a Nobel Peace Prize, and then start a nuclear war with Russia.

 

You have your talking points wrong. Only The Donald will launch nukes. And for no reason other than someone insulted him.

 

And if they gave Barry a NPP for no reason, she's a shoo-in.

LAMP: Attended one of the Get Out To Vote (GOTV) Concerts last night

 

I'm enjoying my Saturday when my wife says, "Hey hun, [daughter] just got invited to see Katy Perry tonight and the parents of the kid with the tickets can't drive suddenly. Can we chaperone?"

 

There goes my night of catching up on Walking Dead and Black Mirror.

 

My wife, tricky Independent but really Democrat that she is, gets me to agree then reveals it's a Hillary event/Katy Perry concert.

 

My takeaways:

 

- They trotted out all the PA area names...but the person who got the most love and got the crowd most fired up, even more than Hillary, was Cory Booker. Everyone knows it but his star is on big time ascent.

 

- Madeleine Albright joined the crowd on stage and she got a really nice round of applause.

 

- Hillary spoke for no more than 5 minutes. My wife and I agree that both candidates look like damp dishrags right now. There's no more to drain from them and having seen them so many times, I am completely sick of them. She got the base cheering of course but didn't leave me (who is not voting for her) or my wife (who is voting for her) particularly excited.

 

- Crowd was mundane... Lots of families. Like a big soccer tournament was happening. Positive and upbeat--contrasts with the angry, doomsday Trump crowds.

 

- Katy Perry. She had the best message of the night. During the one moment where she talked about the election, she said she supported Hillary but didn't overdo it. Then she told the crowd that her parents are huge Conservatives, who she loves dearly and who love her, and that she hoped that everyone remembered our commonality as we wrap up the election. It wasn't a unique message by any means, but both candidates and their supporters (and we see it playing out here) continue to lose sight of this. She played 5-6 songs and sang America the Beautiful. She wore a star spangled outfit.

 

- Protestors. There were 6 people in our pack including 4 kids are all high school freshmen, and one of those kids is an openly gay son of gay parents. The lone protestor had a "HOMO SEX IS SIN" sign and a bullhorn he used to lecture the crowd on how if you were gay, Buddhist, Muslim, or [laundry list of usual suspects], you were going to hell. The teens made fun of him (as did everyone) but it made the boy particularly angry.

 

- Protestors 2. The venue was an outdoor concert place in Philly called the Mann Music Center. It happens that right now the circus is in town and the tents are immediately adjacent the Mann. So there were also animal abuse protestors all around. They of course fit right into the Hillary crowd.

Couple things Mr Franklin. How many Trump rallies have you attended that gives you the insight to say they are angry doomsday rallies. Second bringing this country together after this will be the biggest first job of whoever gets elected. I don't think either of them will do anything other than the opposite. Kind of like how well our "leader" for the past eight years has done at that.

Too true.

I would have made my observation before I attended either one. The people attending the rallies are no surprise.

 

On the second point, agreed. Neither one is a uniter.

Forward!

 

Democrats have abandoned the rule of law insofar as it deters their political advancement.

 

In the video above, President Obama assures an aspiring illegal voter that she need not fear negative repercussions. “The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential,” he tells her.

 

Sanctity, however, has its limits. Your vote is not so sacred that Obama would not like it to be cancelled by illegal misconduct. On the contrary, he would like it to be cancelled.

 

I guess we are past the point of asking what Obama and his allies have come to, but this must take the cake. Obama all but confides to the young lady that illegal voters are a core Democratic constituency

I'm just pissed because the beginning of your post got me to read it and there was no resolution to it at all. Yeah yeah you went to the Hillary rally. Super.

 

But what happened to your lamp? Did you break it? Is it lost? Did you find it? WTF?

So you make observations on events you've not attended? How clairvoyant and un-Franklin of you.

Are you taking your pick-me-up meds this morning? I also make observations about candidates I haven't met.

Oh It's easy to make observations of an individual. Making an observation of thousands of people? Not so much. I'd like to know what obsevations you've made to come to the conclusion that Trump crowds are full of angry doomsdayers?
