Billionaire, philanthropist, art patron and former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev has criticized the oligarchs, saying "I think material wealth for them is a highly emotional and spiritual thing. They spend a lot of money on their own personal consumption." Lebedev has also described them as a bunch of uncultured ignoramuses, saying "They don't read books. They don't have time. They don't go to [art] exhibitions. They think the only way to impress anyone is to buy a yacht." He also notes that the oligarchs have no interest in social injustice.

I think the Russian Oligarchs modeled themselves after Trump?

She had like 2 bad weeks in a row followed by the RNC, and Trump was only up by the MOE at the end of that.

Joaquin Castro, Tammy Duckworth, Emanuel Cleaver, I think there's probably going to be a couple more surprisingly good speeches from the rest, but you don't pack your high power speakers in the same night as your presidential candidate because it overshadows the ticket. It'd be such a dick move to put Hillary on after either of the Obamas or Biden.

Where are those numbers from? A republican friend is insisted the RNC did better last night but I couldn't find the ratings on the nielson website. All I could find were articles quoting eachother saying nielson claimed they were better.

DNC was 24 million, RNC was 23.3.

DNC went past the 111pm hour which might have hurt ratings slightly. Though from what I read most stayed for Obama's speech.

During the Dems sit in she smuggled a phone in her prostetic legs she got from serving in Iraq.

They seem to be talking largely about comparisons between networks and in demographics rather than overall, and honestly the writing kinda of obscures their point.
