Last night’s penultimate DNC chapter was intended to ‘introduce’ Veep candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim “the Coach” Walz. They overworked the coach metaphor. Many commenters, especially the gals, said they wished they understood all the football references. Put me in, coach! We’re on the third-yard line with 36 seconds clocked! We’re lining up the special teams for a tight-end leak! What? It looked more like a classic fumblerooski.
Oprah was last night’s billionaire headliner. The talk show diva is personally worth $2.7 billion, but she fumbled, complaining bitterly and unpersuasively about all the racism and sexism that has always held back her career, which she ineloquently claimed occurred from the “redwoods to the Gulf Stream waters.”
Racist redwoods. It had a nice ring to it, but the wrong billionaire delivered the line. Ball, dropped.
JD Vance gained several yards in a pick-six yesterday by observing that, now that Walz has visited Chicago, the Coach can honestly say he’s been to a real war zone.
Bill Clinton spoke, or rambled, to a clearly ambivalent and unimpressed audience. The Obamas have intercepted the Democrat party, and the Clintons are sidelined.
Writing for the New York Times, leftie author Matt Labash gave away the game, admitting that last night’s DNC proved a “keen reminder that Harris’s most appealing quality is that she’s not Donald Trump.” At least she has one appealing quality.
Harris didn’t attend last night. The Democrat’s quarterback is at her best when she’s not playing.
Fake conservative David Brooks, who’s already endorsed the Cackler, was frustrated by the lack of substance at the Convention, warning “Democrats are making a big mistake by not talking more about how to create a growing economy, which is the No. 1 issue on voters’ minds.” David noted, as I have, that “this was another night when they seemed to have nothing to say about it.”
They had nothing to say about the economy or anything else anybody sane cares about. But they had double-man coverage on the high school football lingo. So.
Hilariously, I’ve now counted at least three conservative moles showing up around the DNC: Matt Walsh, James O’Keefe, and a gentleman interviewed by the BBC yesterday who remarkably resembled Alex Stein, down to the “my wife’s boyfriend” bit, but was claimed to be conservative pundit Alex Strenger.
Years ago, I attended an RNC Convention, and security was super tight. Not a single protestor made it in. But it looks like security is pretty lax at the DNC, which most closely resembles a teeny tiny police state, a miniature North Korea inside of a concert stadium. But their border is leaking. Maybe they need more coaching.
Now that Walz has been ‘officially’ nominated, the Democrats have offered the country the Cackler and the Coach.
Watch out below! Before the DNC started on Monday morning, wagering site Polymarket bettors favored Kamala Harris (52%) over President Trump (48%), a +4 advantage for the Cackler. But after last night’s joyfully weird DNC ended, and the Coach had been introduced, the betting markets flipped, favoring Trump (53%) over Harris (46%), a +7 advantage, and more importantly, a +11 shift in Trump’s direction.
Polymarket is one of the places where people vote with their own money, which tends to make folks focus a little harder than, say, answering some telemarketing pollster in the middle of dinner.
Looks like the Coach fumbled the snap. It’s hard to say, the officials are still reviewing the tape. But Polymarket’s new numbers may also account for Robert Kennedy’s leaked plan to endorse Trump tomorrow, right after Kamala has been fully and finally nominated.
Their new propaganda is that, despite doing everything they possibly could to butt-f**k the lower and middle class working people, this is the party OF the people FOR the people. They are going to FIGHT for the middle class, starting… well, later. They COULD do it now, but for some reason, they’ll wait until they have a grasp on power for another 4 years.
However, all their biggest stars, greatest orators, propaganda geniuses don’t speak until 10 or 11 pm Central, which is 11 or 12 eastern. It’s only “prime time” in California. WORKING PEOPLE have to go to bed early because they have to get up early and GO TO WORK.
So, who exactly are they trying to appeal to?
Romney took quite a hit when he guesstimated that 47% of the voting population was either on the dole or working for gov’t.
These people don’t have to worry about schedules.
