Hillary was absolutely masterful, Bill was damned good, Biden was
good and will get much better as he adapts to his new speechwriters.

I am surprised you are not upset about Biden showing off his
grandchildren.

Why? It's traditional and appropriate at that moment- the end of the
speech at a convention - for the candidate's family to appear on
stage. Besides, Biden, especially, has a compelling family story, as
I am sure you know.


So...you're a Republican...what's your guess on the veep nom?

Wrong, ballot-breath. I am a registered nothing, consider myself
an Independent, although certainly admit to right leaning tendencies
on most issues. In some areas though, I am probably as liberal as
you. gasp

I have a bit of a hang-up about the concept of being a "registered"
member of any political party. Doing so tends to make one accept and,
by default, support platform issues that one otherwise may not be in
agreement with. Lemmings. We saw that during the Dem's convention.
Compromises of principles by all for the "common good" of the party.
Past differences forgotten. Nope, not for me.

I vote for the person who I think will best serve the best interests
of the USA in national and international issues, not for the one who
will best forward a political party's agenda, developed through
political compromise and back room deals.

You don't have to be "registered" to be a Republican or a Democrat. If
you vote mostly Republican, you are a Republican. You vote mostly
Republican, I am sure, especially for President.

I am a registered Democrat. I haven't read through a Democratic party
platform document in decades, probably not since 1970. I have no idea
what is in this year's "platform," and I couldn't care less. My father
in law is a lifelong registered Republican. I haven't asked him, but I
suspect he has never ever read a GOP party platform document.

I think you completely missed the point that Eisboch was making.
