Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[DrScholl]

Hopefully this convention helps Americans realize the stakes of this election. This party is unhinged.

And your party is about to nominate a criminal

Where are the charges? That's right, there are none. Go sit down.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

This night is terrible. I can't watch.

Did he just say Brock Obama?

[Oak Hills]

The theme of tonight at the RNC is fear... this is disgusting. This is how people in a democracy vote in support of tyranny.

Yeah, because we SHOULDN'T be making a big deal about three people that had no legal right to be here KILLING Americans that belong here.

Because we all know American citizens never commit murder against other American citizens.

[NOVA Green]

THIS IS SUCH BS

GO AWAY PATRICIA SMITH

Oh piss off. She still lost her son.

No what pisses me off, is not that she is emotional regarding the death of her son in Libya.

What *does* piss me off is that the RNC in an attempt to "slime" Hillary Clinton regarding Libya/Benghazi that there appears to be a completely blind eye when it comes to the death of Americans in Iraq.

I lost a good friend in Iraq, assigned to the Oregon National Guard, who died in combat outside of Taji/Camp Cooke at the hands of a roadside bomb and decisions made by the Bush Administration, not only to go into Iraq, but additionally to use "stop-loss" and not provide uparmored Humvees...

It sickens me that the RNC decided to use this mother's grief to make political points against Hillary Clinton, while not even addressing the real grief that families and friends of those who have fallen in Iraq in order to try to score cheap political points.

If anyone is interested, here is a tribute to my friend from Corvallis/Albany who served his country and died in Iraq, despite his personal reservations about the merits of the mission.

Wait, isn't Trump the one actually being prosecuted?

[Classic Conservative]

I guess some people are scared of the truth.

Including the multiple Republican posters (Inks, outofbox6, Brown Line) that are saying tonight is disturbing?

Yep, Republicans can be scared of the truth too. I wouldn't really consider them Republicans when they spend more time bashing the party then supporting it.

Both parties are crazy. The Democrats have issues with law enforcement.

False equivalence

Yeah, because she covered her tracks. Comey's entire speech was a lambasting. You can so tell he wanted to indict. If you're gonna call Rick Scott a criminal, then so is Hillary Clinton. Many did the same thing as she did, which is objectively illegal, and have gotten jailtime for it. If Donald Trump was cleared by the FBI for the same thing, you'd want his head on a stake. But you don't care because you're a delusional partisan that only cares about party and will let anyone with a D after their name get away with murder.

And my party is about to nominate a criminal and a rapist who should be deep in prison for decades already.

Irrelevant. If these leftist cities were not sanctuary cities and these illegals were properly deported, this would never have happened.

You have a party that has groups embracing Black Lives Matter.

But of course Seriously and Ljube don't believe that there are Pubs who disagree with trump.
They are imaginary, a mirage .... and if their are "some" .... they will all "fall into line" come November.
Give me a break.

It seems to me the only one who is scared of the truth is you.  Being scared in your boots and loving on the racist xenophobe like a damn calf on its mother.  Eating every lie he gives you.  That what is sad tonight.  Not us calling out this con man, but those of you who are eating it up with glee.

No charges were ever given to her, unlike your nominee who is on trial for fraud.

What Comey did was highly inappropriate. If he found no cause for indictment, he had no business making a speech lambasting anyone.

Trump is not "on trial for fraud." It's a civil suit, not a criminal one.

Right, because fear is the only way to fix that problem. Let's throw rational policies out the window and just scare people into voting for Trump.
