    So Trump is the nominee, huh? Well, guess I better find out how to live up to my pledge.

    Remember my promise that if Trump were the nominee, I would: A) vote for Herself (assuming she's the nominee); and B) donate to Herself's campaign. While I am still willing to live up to that pledge, I wonder if perhaps a more dramatic act might be more appropriate. I will leave it up to my favorite (in all seriousness) dyed-in-the-wool lefties to decide. So, @cranberry and @Amy ...

    $100 to Herself's coffers ... or $100 to Alan Grayson's?

    Which would better speak to my disgust at Trump being the nominee?

    God, I don't get having the house band that plays on every deck at Cleveland bar in the summer.

    Democrats won't bother with a roll-call, or Vermont will go out of turn and pull a 2008 moment.

    But isn't the end of the roll call good TV? That's the moment it becomes official. Why not time it to have the roll call end at 8:05 or so? Just seems odd to me.

    Congratulations, Alaska. You just stopped down the convention in prime time for some anal horseshit.

    I never argued that it wasn't plagiarism. I said it is irrelevant.

    Let him go. It's a compliment. If the entire point I made on Braun hadn't sailed over his head, he would realize that.

    "Some people who disagree with me are hypocritical!" remains a bugaboo with an irresistible grip on small minds.

    Voting for Trump doesn't embarrass me.

    OOPBot supporting me? That's tough.

    LOL. You've really latched onto this as a winning argument.

    But, at least in this case, it's not so much the hypocrisy that bothers me, but the misrepresentation of the events.

    I don't care that he plagiarized the lines. Let's just not pretend that he didn't.

    OK. But do you not understand that it's hilarious that Team Trump plagiarized terrorist broccoli pusher Moose-shelle?
