LOL Fox News on how the independents reacted

So Faux news gave independent voters that thing that they can register
during a person speech if they love hate or are neutral to what the speaker
is saying.

Apparently according to Faux, the independents LOVE Ted Cruz, the independents
LOVE Mike Pence, the independents LOVE all the repug speakers and gave them
an A rating.

So I flick to CNN, and they said even if Trump wins the election this is a big
victory for Ted Cruz, he is so so respected and loved in the republican party, its win win
for the GOP.

What are CNN and Faux going to do on election night, when Clinton wins????

Cruz saves face and reputation by not endorsing Trump.
Trump looks gracious for letting Cruz speak.
Non-endorsement doesn't really hurt Trump.
Independent voters probably agree with Cruz on the point and so does the hard right.

In the end it's not a big deal.

While using dogwhistle language during his convention speech, the media would claim that the Democratic party is hopelessly fractured, and they'd' focus on that imagined dissent through the rest of the convention.

But I think Hillary is up to it. In my estimation Hillary will be elected President and many and I mean that 'littery' right wing heads will explode. I'm watching 'YOU,' my right wing, calls himself a democratic party member but I know and he knows I know, but is in denial on that last fact, heads explode. Luckily they live a couple hundred feet from me so I probably won't get any of that HATE on me. I"ve been fighting it for years.
If not for the fact that he is a tinkerer like myself I'd not have one thing to do with him at all. His wife is in a Stockholm Syndrome type situation. her brain in in the right place but her heart is not, if that makes any sense that is.

We can do this, Elect Hillary as our next President, that is.
Not my first choice but I'm with her 100% now.
