2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat's the DNC plan for Tampa?
What events are planned to steal the spotlight a bit.
If it was Bush - he'd invade Iran.
What can the DNC / Obama do? Send troops to Syria? How about a stadium sized speech/rally in PA or other battleground states?
I'm going to turn off the media that week and just tune in here for updates.

Wait... That's the GOP.
I think the DNC can relax. The GOP convention is going to be a massive fuck up.

It'll be the same speech over and over and over.
Glad ours is AFTER theirs. Get that bump, get motivated all over again.

It's the only way to be sure.
Vasquez: [after barely surviving the Alien surprise attack] Okay. We have several canisters of CM-20. I say we go back in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest.
Hicks: It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them.
Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, mat! What are we even talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: Fuckin' A!
Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.
Burke: Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us. I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
Ripley: Wrong.
Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.
Hudson: Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!
Burke: Look. I'm not blind to what is going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I'm sorry.
Ripley: Well, *I* believe that Corporal *Hicks* has authority here.
Burke: *Corporal* Hicks has...?
Ripley: This operation is under military jurisdiction and Hicks is next in the chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?
Hicks: Yeah... yeah, that's right.
Burke: Yeah... look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation. He can't make that kind of decision. He's just a grunt!
Burke: [to Hicks] Uh, no offense.
Hicks: None taken.
Hicks: It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them.

Don't get me wrong: The Republicans are nastier than the alien.
