I’ve started a new monthly thread for Clinton campaign discussion for August 2016.

I think we are fine keeping this discussion in this thread. After all, there is no counterpart to the Trump thread and there really shouldn’t be. Why break up discussions into different threads covering the exact same topic? Doesn’t sound very efficient to me. ---

My sister saw Clinton and Kaine in Youngstown, Ohio this weekend. A VERY crowded venue with lots of people unable to get in. The candidates were several hours late but people seemed not to have minded. My sister liked what she heard and is now very pro-Hillary. ---

Doesn’t sound very efficient to me. I agree with **John T** on this. I guess I don’t see any advantage to spinning off into a new thread each month on the same topic. As far as keeping it manageable, I don’t get that at all. I’m actively involved in a number of long running threads and have no problem keeping up with where I left off. Let’s just keep the discussion here, if you please.
