Prior to the North Carolina rally, candidate Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Sean Hannity:
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 †

I doubt you could find a more apropos visual representation for day #1 at the DNC convention in Philadelphia than this one:

A very hastily constructed interior wall surrounding the stage using metal crowd barriers and blue cloth drapes.
What/who do you think they were attempting to “block”?
If you are watching the Democrat National Committee Convention in Philadelphia, consider this an open discussion thread:
One of the lesser discussed WikiLeaks revelations was the leak outlining collusion between The Democrat National Committee and CBS News Political Polling. The DNC requested and received control over the CBS published polling outcome.
We have previously outlined this activity as “agenda polling“; it has been discussed in great length. The WikiLeaks release just provided more evidence. Every single major media poll release is specifically constructed to deliver a directional narrative as outlined by the ideological message for the accompanying/distributing outlet.

Which brings us to today’s CNN narrative polling (full pdf below); where they state Trump has “surged” following the RNC convention in Cleveland. Quite hypocritical of them actually, when you consider CNN claimed the entire convention was an abysmal failure.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz Booed Off Stage by Florida Delegation – Drops Out of Convention Completely…
DNC Chairperson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, attempted to deliver a speech today in Philadelphia at a Florida delegation breakfast. Mayhem ensued…
Wasserman Schultz was not able to deliver her speech and was booed off stage. She had to be escorted out of the hotel venue by security as the audience shouted “shame, shame, shame”. Andrea Mitchell was in the venue and delivered this report to a gobsmacked MSNBC:
Within hours of leaving the breakfast, and accepting there’s no way she could speak at the convention, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz announced her complete withdrawal.
