In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

This confrontation has been a long time coming, and a longer time deserved.

Sheriff David Clarke appears on set with Don Lemon who cuts off the feed and sends the show to commercial because he doesn’t like the pushback.

When they come back from commercial, Clarke doesn’t let up.  Notice how Don Lemon demands a civil conversation then doesn’t let Clarke finish a sentence. Watch Video

In an effort to keep the discussion threads as clean, understandable and articulate as possible, we will be presenting discussion threads during the convention as follows:

The daily 2016 presidential election discussion thread will serve a dual role to discuss the morning convention sessions.  We will not be adding additional threads for convention coverage in the am sessions.

At 3:00pm we will present an afternoon convention discussion thread which will be a place for all afternoon and evening convention coverage.  Thanks to our rebel alliance friends at Right Side Broadcasting we will also embed a dedicated convention live stream.
