What will happen at the Republican Convention?

[Stacko]

Well,they are going to have problems trying to sell Trump on the basis of his policies.....

The crowd is dead.

Chris Christie is conducting a Orwellian Two Minute Hate against Hilary.

 

[Stacko]

Slouching towards Donald seems to best describe the mood.

I’ve been going to conventions, Republican and Democratic, as a journalist for more than 30 years. One of the cheeriest and most delightful moments at any convention is the roll call of the states, in which high-spirited delegates from each state praise their teams, their leading industrial product, and their political histories before declaring their support for “the next president of the United States.” I’ve been there for winners and losers—for Mondale in ’84, for Dole in ’96, for Kerry in ’04. I was on the convention floor for tonight’s roll call. And I have to report I have never seen nor experienced a more subdued, less enthusiastic nominating moment than the one just now for Donald Trump.

Is Chris Christie openly asking for some loony to grab Hillary in the name of law?

 

[dudalb]

Christie is so over the top that it might well backfire with most viewers.

Maybe he's trying to come back around to the day's theme by creating a job on the spot.

You can't tell me there isn't some Baton Rouge shooter level psycho who thinks Christie is giving him an order.

This is ********** up.

The Republicans would be thrilled if their hateful garbage conspiracy theories got Hillary assassinated.

I can see the start of the tweet now,

Thanks for the congrats...

 

[Tony Stark]

Hillary (or rather whoever is in charge of her Twitter account) just tweeted this out:

"If you think Chris Christie can lecture anyone on ethics, we have a bridge to sell you."

Great response.

I prefer the opposite.

Here's an article you may enjoy. It confirms what we were saying before about how simply wrong the whole Melania thing was. The plagiarism is just icing on the cake.

They could write the same article about Tiffany's speech tonight minus the part about plagiarism. Does Donald interact with his family because they have no stories about him.

 

[Stacko]

They never show the crowds.

 

[Travis]

Interesting observation: the only time the crowd ever gets excited is when they start engaging in anti-Hillary fan fiction.

And is it just me or was it a huge misplay to have Chris Christie of all people attack Hillary for ethics?

Tally for Make America Work Again night:
"work" (or working, etc.) mentioned 48 times

I've never seen Ben Carson so animated before.

I mean, awake.

 

[Stacko]

Are they afraid the people who hate Hillary Clinton demographic is going to vote for Hillary? This makes no sense attempt to speak to voters outside your base.

According to Donny Jr his father has a track record of accomplishing the impossible. Yeah, like running multiple casinos into the ground.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

How about that Tiffany, did her accent sound a little Valley Girl to anyone?

"I just got out of college a couple months ago.... I'm so young.... did I tell you I just got out of college?"

All that BS, "I learned to drive a forklift from Vinny."
