Of course, since Merriam-Webster won’t give anyone hard search numbers, we don’t even know much about the actual size of that spike: The company doesn’t say precisely how many people looked up the word “malarkey” in the 24 hours before Biden’s speech or the 24 hours after – so we could be talking about a jump from one search to 175. “We’re gonna build a wall and make Mexico pay for it – believe me!” Biden spent much of his time reminiscing about his time in the White House with President Obama, and touched on the loss of his son Beau before making his case to the crowd for Clinton. Think about that. Think about what you learned as a child.

For more on Trump and Russian Federation, journalist Mikhail Zygar writes from Moscow in Politico Magazine about why the billionaire presents “the kind of relationship with a United States president the Kremlin has dreamed about” – and it’s not about financial ties.
“We simply can not let that happen as Americans”, he said. “Exactly the leadership we need”.
Then he got down to business. He was there as yet another character witness for his party’s nominee.
“Hillary Clinton’s choice for VP, Sen”.
“Everybody knows she’s tough and smart”.
After watching Joe Biden’s blustery, emotional performance at the Democratic National Convention, I thought, Trump really does have a good chance of winning in November.
Michael Bloomberg, who was elected mayor of New York City as a Republican, will stand at the Democrats’ mic to speak on behalf of Clinton. If you’re a caregiver, he added with a flourish, “There’s only one person who can help you”. It’s not just who she is; it’s her life story. “She’s always been there”.
Truth be told, the richest thing about Donald Trump is his hypocrisy.
“How can there be pleasure in saying, “You’re fired”?” he said of the reality star’s trademark phrase. “This guy doesn’t have a clue about the middle class, not a clue”, he said. “Never!” said Biden, whipping himself into a frenzy.
In recent poll averages compiled by the Huffington Post, Biden’s favorability ratings hover around the 50 percent mark – about the same as Clinton’s unfavorable numbers. “Let me say something that has nothing to do about politics-something I am deadly serious about”, he said. “This is a complicated and uncertain world we live in”. Not a clue. He has no clue about what makes America great.
Just hours earlier on Wednesday, Trump encouraged the Russians to obtain Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails from her private server, a statement that shocked and anxious national security observers.
He said Trump has “no plan whatsoever” to defeat terrorism and “embraces the tactics of our enemies”, such as torture.
California Gov. Jerry Brown left no doubt that the Democratic party believes that Climate is real.
You are now subscribed to the Daily Digest and Cheat Sheet. “They keep going. That’s the unbreakable spirit of the people of America”. “No major party nominee in the history of this nation has ever known less or has been less prepared to deal with our national security”, the vice president said. “What I have seen more than anything is what is right with America”.
“And God willing Hillary Clinton will write the next chapter in that journey”.
“We own the finish line, and don’t you forget it”.

This is not the convention moment that Joe Biden once longed for. But as Biden demonstrated tonight, he remains a man of boundless energy who will continue the cause inspired by his son’s death to lead a moon shot for cancer, and for that he’s got everybody’s vote.
