What will happen at the Republican Convention?

[Ladewig]

If I can go back to a previous topic, what was the deal with the live-comment feed being shut down? How could they not have a seven-second delay to approve or delete comments before they appeared?

Same reason the vdare twitter account made the inside crawl. Complete incompetence.

Which live-comment feed, one of the news media's? Because that might be in case obscenities are yelled in the background or shown on signs people hold up behind a broadcaster.

I just love that their attempts to cover up that Melania was the plagiarizer has snowballed into a bigger problem because of their incompetence.

The latest version of the apology, written by the ghostwriter, actually puts it squarely on Melania again. But I'm pretty sure the campaign won't understand why this time either.

They keep making what they think are the right noises but aren't.

The YouTube live broadcast had to shut down live comments because it was overrun with anti-Semites.

Ben Carson makes a huge absurd logical leap. Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis about Saul Alinsky. Saul Alinsky wrote in his book Rules for Radicals that Lucifer was the first radical, therefore Hillary Clinton is a disciple of Lucifer.

This is akin to a film school student writing a thesis on D.W. Griffith and Griffith directed the controversial film Birth of a Nation, therefore the student is a racist.

Well, since the GOP appears to be embracing the closest thing to an "Antichrist," I guess Lucifer had to be somewhere nearby...

Chris Cuomo calls out Paul Manafort for being a liar and leading a campaign saturated in them.

She uses Trump Organization stationery to fall on her pen
sword?

Is she a Trump Organization speech writer or a speech writer for the
Trump Campaign?

After reading the letter, I am still not sure.

She works for the Trump Organization and offered to resign from there for her error while potentially illegally working for the campaign. This is why this latest lie to explain the plagiarism is going to cause more problems for the campaign.

A Presidential campaign is supposed to be an indicator of how the candidate would run the White House. Trump's handling of this situation -- the fact it even arose -- should trouble supporters. How do you hire a person to make such an obvious mistake? Why do you reject her letter of resignation? (That's if we accept the official explanation at face-value, which I do not. I would not be the least bit surprised if Melania inserted the language, but they can't let the candidate's wife take the heat).

Unfortunately, I did catch part of the convention, and I heard Christie's speech yesterday. He quoted Clinton saying she "wants a strong Russia." Who is this clown? Does he think Putin believes Clinton wants a strong Russia?

The Bush family boycotted the convention. I'm sure they got a lot of hate for it. I can't believe I would ever feel sympathy for the Bushes.

Mitt Romney is in the same situation.
And one of the problems Trump is having is so many major GOP figures are avoiding Cleveland like the plague...or like the Cayuhoga river has caught on fire again.

Is Christie aware of how pro-Russia Donald is? The only part of the GOP platform he gave a toss about was the part on Russia that he had gutted to please Putin.

I guess I am a bit late, but I just noticed Joe Arpiao was a guest at the convention. WTF?

I wonder why she did not say something like,

"Yeah, as a friend of Mrs. Trump, I helped her with her speech."

Why doesn't a speech writer know the rules about writing speeches,
especially giving credit to the original?

McIver should have used her own stationery.



Trump has all the best people.

He and Donald are great friends and he's been his main surrogate in Arizona which has come into play for Hillary in a coincidental manner.

Given the way the dominoes here are starting to crumble, I have to believe the best is yet to come.

It's a lie most likely. Most the people involved in his campaign that have any political experience last worked on an election for Bob Dole.

How do you know anything about her? I guess since she is attractive she must be dumb. And you think Trump is a sexist.

Not because she's attractive but because she married Donald Trump.

I heard this on the radio this morning and nearly broke my steering wheel in rage. What kind of a nonsensical idiotic messenger is he? Our money says "in god we trust" therefor Hillary is Satan because her college professor made a joke in a book. Like Senator Flake (R) Arizona tweeted,

...We can make the case that she shouldn't be elected without jumping the shark.

There are legitimate criticism of Hillary, that she is the devil isn't one.

This convention is hillarious. Trump showed back up after flying all around Cleveland in his plane and then his helicopter, without his wife, to make a random landing say a few words and drive off? What the hell was all that for?
