The Democrap convention is going to be an even bigger disaster than Joes performance at the debate. The Hamas supporters alone will make life hell for them and all I can say is....

More popcorn! It appears that the leftists despise everyone but themselves. However, every leftist is self-loathing. That is why they destroy everything they touch. It perhaps unfortunate that they are not strong enough to do themselves in.
