Hillary Lying About Email Again
Hillary picked up four bonus Pinocchios for lying to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.
More Lying
Here’s Hillary:
“Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”
And here’s Ron Fournier writing in The Atlantic :
That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie.
Big Dog and That Girl
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to step down as Democrat Party Chair. Hacked DNC emails revealed that she helped rig the primary election for Hillary. When she attempted to speak to the florida delegation she was booed off the stage .
That Girl
Meanwhile, the convention crowd couldn’t get enough of the Big Dog. Bill Clinton spun a yarn about that girl with the frizzy blonde hair and big glasses. There was no mention of “that woman” as Maureen Dowd was quick to point out.
Bill and Hillary would go on to the White House, the Senate, a seat as Secretary of State, and millions in speaking fees.
Ted Cruz’s Convention Speech
Dr. Krauthammer diagnosed Ted Cruz’s convention speech as a suicide note. Larry Kudlow says Cruz gave a “career ending speech”.
But David Harsanyi says, “In a party filled with cowards, Cruz stood apart.”
If 2016 ends up being a disaster for his party—and it’s a good bet it will—Cruz will be the only major Republican to emerge from the Trump fiasco with his principles largely intact. Maybe, as his critics claim, he’s just laying the groundwork for 2020. Maybe it will backfire. Maybe only someone as stubborn and egotistical as Cruz could do it. So what?
The Speech of His Life
Following the Ted Cruz non endorsement, Trump must give the speech of his life. So they say.
Republican Convention Protesters
The Republican National Convention opened with a floor fight when The Never Trump crowd tried to overthrow the presumptive nominee. They claimed to have gathered enough signatures to change the rules requiring delegates bound to Trump to vote for him. But the signatures never saw the light of day. The protesters lost on a voice vote. Chaos ensued.
Republican Protesters
Trump went on to win the nomination last night with 1,725 delegates. He only needed 1,237.
Still, the mission of convention Republicans seems to be to be to sell The Donald – to other Republicans.
I’ve been spending some time at the RNC in Cleveland. My mission is to produce a daily sketchbook for the Akron Beacon Journal and the Tampa Bay Times. I’ll post some of the sketches on Bokbluster along with my regular cartoons.
