Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

Tomorrow I would like to find out about the Loser’s bets to date (after our next president Hillary Clinton accepts the Democratic nomination).

Our next president’s of the Democratic Party

Hillary Clinton on Trump’s acceptance speech: He spoke for seventy odd minutes and I do mean odd.

US Attention - DNC Beats RNC for Third Straight Night: Across live coverage on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from 10 p.m. on, 24.03 million people (24.4 million) tuned in to hear vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine and President Barack Obama address the convention.

The equivalent night of the 2016 RNC drew 23.4 million pairs of eyeballs last week.

Donald Trump sent an e-mail to his supporters urging them not to watch Hillary Clinton deliver her nomination acceptance speech on the final night of the Democratic convention.

Last week he (trump) touted the viewership for his Republican convention and predicted that no one would watch the Democrats.

Trump frequently boasts about the high ratings his interviews and speeches receive, but the Clintons and Obamas are demonstrating their ratings power this week. Coverage of the DNC in the 10 p.m. hour on broadcast and cable has been higher-rated than the same convention in 2012 and higher-rated than the RNC proceedings last week.

Might reach 30 million tonight (4th night)

On another note, Trump quietly hired 78 foreign workers (H-2B visas for low-skilled, low wage workers)

Trump Said He Would Bring Jobs Back To The Country. He Just Quietly Hired 78 Foreign Workers.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to bring jobs back to the country and force American companies to hire more domestic workers. Just don’t expect him to apply that to his own business: instead he is bringing 78 foreign workers to work two of his properties in Florida.

Earlier this month, Trump filed temporary visa applications for 78 positions for servers, housekeepers, and cooks to staff his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, citing an inability to find Americans who can fill the positions. The positions pay $10.17 an hour for housekeepers, $11.13 an hour for servers, and $12.74 for cooks, according to Buzzfeed.

From the moment he launched his presidential campaign, Trump has denigrated Mexican immigrants as rapists, criminals, and drug dealers. And on multiple occasions, he has supported the mass deportation of the country’s undocumented population.

Despite his harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy proposals, Trump has vigorously defended his own use of foreign workers, saying that it was hard to get Americans to take on seasonal jobs during the five-month period that he called “Palm Beach Season.”

“You can’t get help,” Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last year. “Getting help in Palm Beach during the season is almost impossible.”

Yet, when Buzzfeed reached out to a nearby job placement agency, Tom Veenstra, a senior director at Palm Beach’s career services center, said there was a database of more than 1,300 people who had an interest in some of these very hospitality positions. Other hotels in the area have sought out Veenstra’s services, but Mar-a-Lago was not one of them.

Little more news: New Rasmussen poll shows … Hillary ahead

Yes, a shitty Rasmussen poll that leans way right has Clinton ahead and the DNC just ended tonight.

Guess which state these numbers come from.

Massachusetts? Nope, Pennsylvania. That state is … not supposed to be a gimme for Democrats this time; if it is, Trump is all but done.

I want to get back into this post below.

How Nevada voted

Tonight our next president Hillary Clinton accepted the democratic nomination. The Loser (who needs help) has lost money already (evidence above). The Loser, we all know wished that Mr. Sanders would win the nomination. Mr. Sanders didn’t.

I think I’ve read on either this thread or the republican thread the Loser placed a bet for Sanders to win. That’s 0 and 2. November 8th you’ll be 0 and 3. Loser!
