Independent Voices From The Convention

“More than 120 Republican national-security leaders recently warned that Donald Trump would, in their words, ‘make America less safe.’ He even mocks our POWs, like John McCain. I served in the same Navy as John McCain. I used to vote in the same party as John McCain. Donald, you’re not fit to polish John McCain’s boots!” (emphasis added) -- Retired Rear Admiral John Hutson, former Judge Advocate General of the Navy, speaking last night. (Of course, neither is former McCain running mate / protege and Rump supporter Sarah "Winky" Palin).

“Throughout his career, Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits, angry shareholders and contractors who feel cheated, and disillusioned customers who feel ripped off. Trump says he wants to run the nation like he’s run his business. God help us. I’m a New Yorker, and New Yorkers know a con when we see one!" (emphasis added) -- Former Republican Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, who is now an independent, delivering barrage after barrage at Rump last night.
