Mike Moore predicting a Trump victory via "The Last Stand of  the Angry White Man".

You couldn't dream up some of this stuff.
If it wasn't so serious it would be hilarious.
Some absolutely outrageous connections are being made....the disturbing thing is that some of them may in fact have elements of truth behind them.

The conditions are forming for some even more dramatic moments, interventions and incidents as this campaign rolls along.

You write one side off (I did a week or two back) after a slow couple of weeks and then the other side will do or say (in Trump's case) something outrageous or stupid and it's back to "even stevens" again.

Russians, Wikileaks, Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz's dad and JFK, e-mails..... it's a circus.

Fancy the DNC playing politics behind the scenes.  Who would have thought a political party would do that?

Fancy Trump playing up to the red neck republicans?  Works both ways, you can't paint one guy as the devil then say the other side is just playing the game.

You mean playing up to white supremacists?  'Redneck Republicans' is a whitewash.

Michelle Obama - what a speaker!  No wonder Melania Trump tried to steal her words.

Corey Booker also hit it out of the park.  A future candidate à la Barack Obama after delivering a great speech as a junior senator.

He may even have become Clinton's running mate if he hadn't been from a State with a Republican Governor.  He's from New Jersey and Chris Christie is the Governor.  If Corey Booker became VP, he'd vacate his seat and Christie would be able to appoint a Republican to fill the vacancy.  As the Democrats are desperate to win back control of the Senate, they can't afford to give the Republicans a 2 seat swing.

Control of the Senate will have an immediate impact as there is a vacancy to fill on the Supreme Court and perhaps another 2 vacancies to fill shortly afterwards.  The Republicans have used their control of the Senate to repeatedly block appointments to the Federal Courts.  Republican Senators have even blocked votes on judicial candidates that they themselves have proposed.

PS: Tim Kaine is a Senator from Virginia whose Governor is a Democrat.

Sanders was booed by his own supporters.

It has been a disastrous start for the democrats and with more emails to come it's going to get worse.

Strong endorsements have been delivered by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.  That will be followed up by appearances on the campaign trail.  Sure, there will be Bernie Bros who won't come into the fold, but I doubt they were ever Democrats anyway.  Like in any campaign, Bernie put together a coalition of disparate voting groups and some of them viewed Sanders as a means of advancing their own views rather than seeing him as a messiah.
