    If you don't check your e mail you'll miss gems like this one:

    If you’ve been watching the RNC this week, you might assume the goal of the GOP is to metaphorically (or literally) burn Hillary at the stake.

    I heard chants of “Lock her up!” and “Guilty!” -- egged on by vicious speakers.

    They’ve called her “a piece of garbage,” said she should be “in stripes,” and that she should exchange her pantsuits for jumpsuits.

    Ben Carson accused Hillary -- with a straight face -- of being connected to Lucifer. Yes, Satan himself.

    And yesterday morning, one of Trump’s advisors called for Hillary to be “put in the firing line and shot for treason.”

    We’re not up against a typical Republican opponent. As of the third day of their convention, their only proposal for helping Americans seems to involve calling for Hillary to be literally murdered.

    This is not a normal contest, and no one is playing by the normal rules. Trump, his surrogates, and his campaign have abandoned the norms of civilized democratic competition and gone completely, gleefully rogue.Thank you for standing with us in 2015. If we don’t keep Trump out of the White House, everything we care about -- diversity, inclusion, acceptance -- will go up in smoke. Chip in $5 to keep that from happening:

    Nah...

    And I don't think anyone has spoken to the peeps who said "it wasn't plagiarism, it's common phrases" since the speechwriter said that yes indeedy the phrases were lifted from Michelle Obama.

    Also waiting for Paul Manafort to explain exactly where the NYT misquoted Trump now that the transcript is out.

    I love the idea of publishing full transcripts. I hope they do more of this.

    Gotta think they'd have cut off the mic if he had started to criticize.
