No Fear After Nice; Science Denier Pence Tapped by Trump; Dem Poll ‘Freak Out’; MUCH MORE: ‘BradCast’ 7/15/2016

Share article:

We will not be hijacked by fear and terror, as many hope, on today’s or any other BradCast, even after the horrific attack in Nice, France. A few words on that, before the rest of today’s show [audio link below] including…

  • ‘Tea Party’ wingnut Indiana Gov. Mike Pence gets the nod to become the GOP’s Veep nominee, despite differing with Donald Trump on a number of issues central to the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee’s campaign, and (perhaps because of?) Pence’s denial of crazy “liberal” ideas like global warming and that cigarettes are deadly.
  • Failed Presidential nominee and rejected VP candidate Newt Gingrich calls for the violation of both religious freedom and the U.S. Constitution;
  • GOP blocks last(?) “Never Trump” effort to derail Trump’s nomination and begs billionaire Sheldon Adelson for millions to help pay for their convention next week in Cleveland after some corporate sponsors bail out;
  • A major new poll now finds Trump leading Hillary Clinton nationally (though within the margin of error) as Senate Democrats reportedly “freak out” about the presumptive Democratic nominee’s plunging numbers — even after outspending Trump 40 to 1 in swing states;
  • California set to finally certify results from its June 7 Presidential primary;
  • And remarks from the UK’s new Prime Minister serve as a reminder of what ‘center-right’ actually means.

All of that and much more on today’s BradCast, at the end of yet another disturbing week.

    Nice to see you still getting your ass kicked over at the Daily Kos – they don’t suffer fools and charlatans like you, despite the impression you might be getting from within the bubble of your little echo chamber.

    What is this leadice.com and Angela V. Edwards of which you whine? They must be frauds and poseurs just like you.

    [ED NOTE: Speaking of “frauds” and “poseurs”, we have very few rules for commenting here at The BRAD BLOG. One of them is that you must not use multiple names when posting to comments. Since you previously posted here as “marsanges” the other day, I have changed your name on this comment to that one. Please use that, and only that one when posting here. You are otherwise allowed to attack me (if you like), though not other commenters, so long as you stay within the few rules for commenting here. Please consider this a friendly warning. Thanks! – BF]

    On a more coherent note…

    Her Highness’ numbers are EXACTLY what the Sanders campaign (“A Future To Believe In”) has been pointing out since the very beginning….she’s a deeply flawed candidate who repels everyone except DC and DNC powerbrokers….good luck in the general with that….i myself have said here more than once, the arrogance of the DWS crowd would rather lose with Hillary than win with Bernie (he DESTROYS Trump in every poll ever conducted goddammit!!!!!!) becuz Bernie is their worst nightmare: a candidate at war with corruption in government….what an asshole!!!….fucking with the golden apple cart, who does that sonofabitch think he IS???…so they sabotaged his campaign at every turn and twist, thank you very much….a Pyrrhic victory if there ever was one!….now the Democratic Party is staring down the very disaster it has engendered….what am i supposed to feel toward such heartbreaking stupidity and greed, with the fate of our nation in the balance?….you tell me….i’ll be sitting here, waiting…

    IT’S STILL NOT TOO LATE!!!

    HRC did NOT clinch the nomination in the primaries!!

    THE SUPERDELEGATES CAN STILL MAKE BERNIE SANDERS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!

    See you in Philly, brothers and sisters…

    ~~~ drinks are on me….we’ll need em, Brad ~~~

    CrookdClimton is within fourtten months of her eighth decade of life, grossly overweight and fogged by all themeds as well. Trapped the Dems into all this trouble supporther ONE TERM, think 2020, 2024? Why did PreObama, CUC not ORDER her to get off clintonemail.com for the NationalSecurity of the USA. We can see the Clinton are not devoted to helping the USA at all. This done so criminals could communicate and not go through the us.gov system. Hell crookd did not even want them using yahoo! When you open space in your home and contract and pay for an IT server, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AND WHY YOU WANT IT. Not convenient is NOT professional. You were wellpaid and certainly not Potusa material here.
