Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

It's like back to the 90's with this speech.

Crime is going up, that's a fact.

Um... it's not?

Have you seen Ferguson, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago?

I'm still worried, Adam.

An anarchist?

I'm thinking more and more Clinton will pick Tim Roemer. He's anti NAFTA. He'll do well in the Rust Belt.

What are you?

Clueless?

Hey..he's a dark horse.

[Suburbia]

Why make the speech about crime? How is going hard on crime going to win over swing voters when it's at a historic low??

Have you not seen Ferguson, Baltimore, the college campuses?

[Suburbia]

He's a little nuts, but let's listen in more.

He's speaking to the GOP base, who believes that crime has gone up, unemployment up, deportations down, and the stock market down under Obama even though the opposite is true. They live in an alternate reality.

I'm not a Republican, but haven't you seen Ferguson?

Again, it's the same logic as those who think it snowing one day means climate change isn't real. Weather is isolated day to day and climate the trend.

I just want to feel safe.

Is this going to be the longest acceptance speech in a while? I think Obama and Romney's were only like 45 minutes.

This is a serious time in our country. I'm undecided but I am worried.

You are worried for no reason. Your worry is irrational and based in a pile of lies.

Relax, he is trolling.

Yank, I'm not trolling. I'm a voter and I have to make a choice of who is the best president.

[Suburbia]

It's been an hour and 10 minutes so far. When's the last time an acceptance speech was this long?

Long and overdone speeches is a common trait of authoritarian figures.

Oh boy.

[Suburbia]

Pretty tough speech.
