What will happen at the Republican Convention?

[Travis]

I find it funny that last night seemed to be the exact opposite of what their post 2012 "autopsy" suggested. Instead of trying to be more inclusive they went full in on being jerks to anyone that isn't a WASP.

I'm trying to imagine anyone that isn't a full on racist nutjob watching last nights Caligula orgy and not come away shaking their head.

My Little Pony is trending because of the RNC.

Live chat of YouTube broadcast of RNC shut down due to flood of anti-Semitic Donald fans.

As former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle gave a speech promoting inroads that Republicans have made with Jewish voters, as well as ripping the Democrats for allegedly being more hostile to Israel, Trump’s alt-right followers flooded the page with anti-Semitic vitriol.

Among other things, the Trump fans wrote “Press H for Hitler,” “JOOS,” “BAN JEWS,” “OY GEVALT,” and “KIKE.”

I'd like to think that it doesn't.

I'd much rather his racist remarks, his jumping back and forth on the issues like a Mexican jumping bean, his insulting arrogant manner and narcissistic behavior be of prime concern than a speech his wife made.

But hey, that's just me.

But that the whole speech fiasco happened show Donald is inept as a manager.,and does not have the basic admin.Skills to be President. And I do think a lot of the undecideds are going to pick up on that.

It's confirmed that anyone willing to vote for Donald is a racist. There's denying the willing display of hatred they put on and want to enact through that demagogue.

 

[Tony Stark]

There mere fact that Trump won the nomination proves that the GOP is full of stupid crazy bigots just as Democrats long knew.

Every single surrogate and staffer is only denying the reality of the content of the speech. He has them doing nothing else. Where's the promotion of tonight's speakers and topics? Where's the repeating of the messages that last night's speakers put out? It's all focused on the scandal. It's all Donald cares about so it has become his campaign's world.

I am a cynic about politics, but I am not quite at the point of thinking that the American people,as a whole, are as stupid as you think they are.
IF you are right, then time to admit that Democracy is a filed system,and move on to some other system. Any suggestions to what the system should be?

Sure. Any alternative voting system: ranked, instant runoff, whatever.

I do not have the words to describe how asinine it is to suggest that all the different political views in this country can be classified into one of exactly two political parties.

And if we cannot have alternative voting, then we need more states to reject the winner-take-all method of assigning states' electoral votes. More Maine-Nebraska.

And if we cannot have that, then I would suggest an alternative method for drawing the boundaries of the congressional districts every ten years. Shortest split line, Convex polygons, independent agency, whatever.

Rubio hits the nail on the head of how Donald's campaign should have handled this.

She's not running for President...as long as it reflected how she felt that's why it matters.

Donald crushed him in the primaries because the base wanted to express their hate.

 

[Fudbucker]

People literally ******** themselves at GOP convention.

The infuriating thing is her and Michelle's speech isn't the worst thing that happened last night. Steve King took that honor. But Melina is hot so I guess that's what really matters.

 

[Ladewig]

What if Donald's speech is lifted from Obama? That would be about the greatest thing ever.

I know. I so want President ONama to send out a tweet asking Trump to not steal anything from Obama's previous speeches. Trump would go nuts. Then after his Tantrump dies down send out something like "relax, Mr. Trump, it was just a joke. The ability to take deserved and undeserved jokes in stride is imperative to being a good president."

It's also not surprising that Steve King is a white supremacist. It's not the first time he's stepped over the line into revealing he's a racist. He displays a confederate flag in his office.

where are we talking about the "conspiracy theories" involving Trump's wife's plagiarism?

In whatever alternate universe you feel most comfortable I guess. From where I'm sitting there aren't any conspiracy theories. Someone helped her with her speech and he or she screwed up.

Maybe the speech writer is an undercover Hillary operative.

But you are dodging the main implication of what you were saying;The Average American is too ignorant and stupid..too "Low Information" to use his vote in an intelliegent manner.If that is true you are going to get a bad result not reforms you make to the Democratic system.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

M-B was extremely popular at my former company...25 years ago. It's SO 1990's!

I despise it. And you may be correct - I haven't seen it around for awhile. Just crap in a can.

A huge percentage of Americans are stupid and crazy and don't vote in an intelligent manner. Donald Trump is proof of that.

 

[Mumbles]

Wow, Sean Spicer is a brony.

Wait, how does that work? Ms. Trump also plagiarized My Little Pony? Doesn't she know enough to steal from Pokemon like Herman Cain?

Or is he stupid enough to be saying that Michelle Obama stole her 2008 speech from the cartoon, which a quick Wikipedia search says premiered in 2010?

Because if that's true, then it can only mean that Michelle Obama can travel through time!

Or, you know, the guy's an idiot.
