Polling is going to be erratic for the next month, coming off the FBI report and with both conventions and VP announcements coming up.

Meanwhile true fans of Bernie Sanders are still waiting for Hillary to be arrested, knowing that his endorsement was a ruse to cover up his real plan to take the convention.

That wasn't the real Sanders, it was a Skrull doppelganger. Clinton and her shapeshifting goons can't fool me. The real Sanders was chucked into the negative zone.

Clinton actually had threatened his family with certain death, because no true progressive would ever do what it takes to get progressive legislation passed if he lost.

Literally describes one of my friends who has this attitude. Dude pulls in six figures, just moved into a massive house in western MA, and goes on an on about how Trump won't nearly be as bad as the Hillary fear engine is describing him.

True fact: Western MA has more "don't tread on me flags" per square mile than Baton Rouge.

God damn there were a lot of polls released today. Quinnipiac, Marist, Monmouth, Marquette, etc. etc. - both state and national polls.

Spoiler: show

**kuronosan** · 2016-07-14 07:35

Holy shit that isn't a speaker list that's a Tea Party roll call.

**Ragnus** · 2016-07-14 08:07

Ivanka Trump
Attorney General Pam Bondi
Jerry Falwell Jr.
Rabbi Haskel Lookstein
Chris Cox
Senator Mitch McConnell
Tiffany Trump
Governor Chris Christie
Donald J. Trump Jr.
Governor Scott Walker

Given that potential VP candidates speak near the end of the convention, you're probably looking at the short list of people he's considering here.

**kuronosan** · 2016-07-14 08:08

My money is on Walker.

**Quicklet** · 2016-07-14 08:32

Tim Tebow will be speaking too.

**Day** · 2016-07-14 09:33

**Lyall** · 2016-07-14 09:46

Donald Trump/Donald Trump Jr. 2016.

**Serra** · 2016-07-14 09:54

Trump knows we'll need those moon colonies sooner or later!

**Gryffes** · 2016-07-14 10:14

Doesn't Joni Ernst fit the bill? Swing state, female. Is there a better pick out there for trump?

I guess we'll find out soon enough.
