How's he going to attack Clinton on Iraq with Rice on his ticket. That's not that hard to think through.

he thinks donald rumsfeld is cool and good because rummy said a few kind-ish words about him, there's no thought going on here. donald trump will be the best president for women and african-americans so obviously rice is just waiting for the opportunity to be his vp

Traditionally the convention massively boosts enthusiasm with the party while drawing media attention away from the opposing candidate. It naturally translates into a poll bump that usually wears off within a couple of weeks.

If the poll bump doesn't happen it's probably safe to start dumping thousands of dollars into Predictit for a hillary win

Still catching up on old posts, but I wanted to comment on this.

I'm not sure you're taking into account that the Democratic Convention starts the week after the GOP Convention this year. Hillary's going to bigfoot the RNC bigtime.

quote:

1) It makes an unprecedented requirement to bury or cremate all fetal remains, even from an early miscarriage

It's hard to predict the precise effect this provision will have, but it could be really bad for abortion providers and women who have abortions or miscarriages.

The law says that "a miscarried or aborted fetus must be interred or cremated by a facility having possession of the remains," and requires "a person or facility having possession of a miscarried or aborted fetus to ensure that the miscarried fetus or aborted fetus is preserved until final disposition occurs."

2) It bans getting abortions for specific reasons, which is both burdensome and hard to enforce

The law makes it a crime to perform an abortion if a doctor knows that a woman is seeking an abortion "solely because of: (1) the race, color, national origin, ancestry, or sex of the fetus; or (2) a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of the fetus having Down syndrome or any other disability."

3) It bans fetal tissue research

No clinics in Indiana even participate in fetal tissue research right now, nor do most abortion clinics nationwide. But Indiana legislators apparently wanted to ban the practice just in case somebody wanted to start.

4) It beefs up some of Indiana's existing anti-abortion laws

Indiana already requires doctors to have "admitting privileges" with a local hospital, or at least a written agreement with another doctor who has such privileges. Laws like these have closed down abortion clinics in states like Texas, because admitting privileges can be fiendishly difficult for abortion providers to get.

Allowing providers to piggyback on another doctor's admitting privileges makes it a little easier. But now Indiana wants to make doctors renew those agreements in writing every year, and requires those agreements to be on file with other hospitals nearby. That, advocates say, is an attempt to shame and intimidate doctors who associate with abortion providers, and an attempt to make the process more difficult.

Indiana also already requires doctors to give women "informed consent," or counseling, before getting an abortion. And doctors have to deliver the information in person, 18 hours before an abortion is performed. That means a woman has to make two doctor appointments.

"Waiting period" and "informed consent" laws like this are very common. More than half of states have laws like this, and many of them — including Indiana — actually force doctors to lie to women about the risks of abortion as part of the "informed consent" process.

Now Indiana is adding two things to its informed consent process: a mandatory ultrasound (which half of all states require), and information about "perinatal hospice services" (which the anti-abortion lobbying group Americans United for Life came up with in 2010, and which a few states like Arizona and Oklahoma have passed).

Are Trump's last words in his concession speech going to be, "We haven't started yet...". The next day he moves to Scotland and never returns, only occasionally making telephone calls into Fox talk shows so he can drum up donations to his various charity organizations that take up 90% of the donations in administration fees.

Of course he is OK with aborting a gay fetus. And how hosed up is it to make a woman bring a severely disabled child to term? Not only is it an incredibly mental, emotional and financial burden the child is basically unadoptable and would end up in the system without any parents instead of being hoovered out without ruining the mother's or the child's life.
