Its prices range from £7,500 to £100,000 (US$11,550 to US$150,000).

The high end of that range is worth more than my house. It's literally obscene.

Good for him. He can afford to buy his wife nice things.

The American way ... by not paying his bills.

Damn right. Get over on as many people as you can. I assume his judgment creditors would have seized upon that purse if he had any and the law allows. I don't think that's an exempt asset.

I haven't watched the RNC, and you can bet that I won't. However, are the biggest complaints so far about plagiarism and who has been invited to speak? Seriously?

Steve King's comments as well (and Sabato, I suppose, to a lesser extent.)

My biggest complaint is politicizing Benghazi....the plagiarism and asking Scott Baio to speak is just funny.

The issue isn't the plagiarism but the way the campaign has handled it. That's what blew it up from a minor infraction to a huge story.

Is anybody really watching it, other than catching the lowlights.? Not watching it myself, I presume the result of the RNC is complaint enough.

I admittedly didn't watch, but when has there ever been so much outrage at a specific person over a terrorist attack? Benghazi's jumped the shark IMO. Was there any/this much scrutiny into 9/11 and Bush's intelligence beforehand? I also don't know any true Hillary supporters personally (ie - they know her background and contributions well). Michael, care to step up? I really liked her in the 90's when she was the first to promote universal healthcare and she was instrumental and championed SCHIP, which provided healthcare for children above the poverty line.

No...and the fact that they have spent 2 nights talking about Benghazi/emails really exposes, IMO, that they have nothing to offer voters. Most conventions are trying to sell voters on the candidate....this convention has been about arresting Clinton. I am quite certain there are some reasonable conservatives out there....and I hope they send a message by voting for Gary Johnson.

I haven't been watching but I know yesterday was Make America Safe Again and today was Make America Work Again. Can someone summarize all the policy proposals to accomplish this? I assume slavery was one.

I checked out Gary Johnson's stance on most issues. On social issues the only thing I really didn't like what he had to say was on school vouchers. Otherwise, I pretty much liked what I read. On economics, I'm struggling to see how he'd be different from some Tea Party extremist though. He wants to cut the federal budget by 43%. He seems open to cutting military spending. But 43% is still insane. I have a feeling we'd all get to experience what Kansas is going through right now. I totally understand voting for him as a protest against the other two parties though.
