.
Yet the clash of visions between Cleveland and Philadelphia is stark. We appear to be two separate and hostile peoples, living apart in two separate Americas.
Obama’s America is a country of all races, creeds, colors, lifestyles, a kumbayah country to be made more wonderful still when Clinton takes the helm.
The message from Cleveland: Cry the beloved country. America has lost her way. She is in peril. A new captain is needed. A new course must be set if America is to find her way home again.
Which portrayal is the truer? Which vision of America do her people believe corresponds more closely to the reality of their daily lives?
Do Americans share Philadelphia’s belief in Clinton’s greatness and in the magisterial achievements of the Obama presidency?
Let us see. Fifty-six percent of Americans believe Clinton should have been indicted; 67 percent believe she is neither trustworthy nor honest. And 75 percent of Americans think that, under Obama, the nation is headed in the wrong direction.
After Cleveland, Trump took a 62-23 lead among white high-school graduates, those who constitute a disproportionate share of our cops, firemen, soldiers and Marines – and those interred in Arlington National Cemetery.
Given that the media are mostly “progressives,” why do Americans who rely on that media hold so negative an opinion of Clinton, and reject the direction in which Obama is taking their country? |

Well Gentlemen, I can certainly point out a glaring difference between the two (possibly four) sides, to wit: at the GOP Convention there were a large number of private citizens, openly carrying firearms outside, and there was not a single problem from them. Contrast that to the 'Commie-Fest' in Philadelphia last week, where both inside the convention center (with a large number of corporate 'sponsors'), and outside on the street, resembled the bar scene in Star Wars.
As I have often said on this board, 'See, I told you so'

Remember that time well, Mr. Fitz. I think that this is worse, probably, as you infer, because it is now compounded. |

Remember 1968 Rich? That was bad too. I am not sure we ever recovered from it.

I hear you Rich & agree totally, we are completely divided & that's not about to change. - That's why the coming election is so vital - the next Prez will get to appoint at least two & possibly even three new Supreme Court Justices setting the nations course for a generation at least. |

It is very distressing. I watched almost all of the RNC, and a lot of the DNC [as much as I could stand] including the entire first night. We are two people. The divide is great, probably as great as at any point in my lifetime. Personally, I can not relate to the "other" side at all, and, I used to be a Dem. Democrats don't really exist any longer, not in the traditional sense ... even back 8 years. Where are the "Blue Dogs"? We are in 2 separate worlds.
"Troubling, isn't it, but that's the lay of the land."
The future weighs in the balance ... it's off the cliff ... or, not. |
