A Tale of Two Conventions

I watched some of the DNC convention, and some of the RNC last night. Independent of your political philosophy, anyone else struck by the general tone differences? The GOP (last night anyway) seemed to be a message of opportunity. The DNC was full of grievance. One group says America is great and can be better. The other says America is deeply flawed and needs complete cleansing. The contrast is sharp and clear.

    Well put. That is exactly the perspective I had. One uplifting and counting on people to take advantage of what the country has provided each of us and the other telling everyone they are a victim, that the country is horribly flawed and that big government has the answer to everything.

    A 4 year politician/businessman who did his part to widen the possibilities for all Americans and truly believes in the greatness of this country and the other a very flawed and failed, lifetime 47 year establishment politician who is too afraid to come out of his basement and is not very proud of this country that has given him so much. 47 years and this is his perspective. Pretty sad.

    Pretty much.

    With all due respect....what else would it be?

    Why would the DNC say everything is great with a Republican as President?

    Did you watch the DNC Convention? The hate for Trump (in reality he represents everyone who doesn't think like rats, that's why they hate him so much). Even when they weren't blaming Trump for their woes and victimization they were constantly telling Americans that they were living in a hell hole. That there is a racist around every corner. Their entire convention was wrapped around dividing the races. That is not because of Trump, that is all the dem platform. You know why I know this? Its because it has been their platform for 3 decades.
