I was so annoyed with a friend who voted Stein last election.

There certainly was cheering and clapping but it was interesting that no one could see the audience to actually witness how many were silent. The Chicago police chief boycotted, the Aurora police chief that was in attendance gave an interview afterward. She was one of the ones who was not cheering. Just saying.

@itsmedammit Law enforcement and the Military love Trump - Criminals, not so much - just saying.

@gater I agree that is generally true that police a military generally like him (though I suspect he is losing some ground with the military). They like all that authoritarian stuff.

Still, we have no idea what percentage of the crowd of police chiefs cheered him.

@itsmedammit Losing ground with the Military? he's rebuilt the military, gave them raises, bought them new equipment - the military loves Trump.

@gater The military gets pay raises every year, regardless of who is in office.

@itsmedammit Very small ones, Trump substantially increased the amount.

@gater No, he didn't. I'm too lazy right now to dig up the references. Just because Trump says so, doesn't mean it is so. He routinely misstates things. He has no concern for accuracy. Serioiusly, if you were to take the time to research some of his statements, you would see for yourself.

Actually I will do a little more homework for you.

From MilitaryTimes, sounds like the president doesn't even have anything to do with military raises. "In his budget announcement, Trump said the 3.1 percent increase was “the largest increase in a decade." According to the Pentagon’s records, service members received a 3.9 percent pay increase in 2009 and a 3.4 percent increase in 2010. The size of each year’s raise is linked to private sector wages, as measured by the Employment Cost Index."

OK!

Well, some of the convention cheered. Wound't be surprised if most did, but, according to the Aurora Police Chief, not all did. We only heard the audience but never saw them.

Let's hope there are enough of them that will vote.

@jlynn37 Yeah, that complacency cost us last time.

That was awesome. I wonder how he spun that in his head.

I am afraid of my fellow Americans too. What are they thinking?

Sorry, he's yours. lol

@itsmedammit He is not mine. Never has been, never will be.

It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about.

@KKGator Sorry, intended to be a joke.

Wish I could be that confident. More republicans will have to step up.
