CNN is reporting that Tony Perkins and Sheriff Joe Arapio are speaking tonight.

Tony Perkins from Psycho?!? Talk about snarky slogans  writing themselves.  Is anyone at Trump campaign vetting any of this?

Anthony Perkins from Psycho is long dead.  It's probably Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council.

They are really trying to turn away as many hispanics and educated whites as possible, aren't they?

Peter Thiel is supposedly going to tell the RNC crowd that he is proud to be gay.

This is great. If the GOP does actually put up Cruz against Clinton in 2020, her re-election is in the bag too!

 Cruz will destroy Hillary. Daddy Cruz will be proven right. The GOP just had their #OhCrapWeNominatedTheWrongMan moment

You're right that they nominated the wrong man, but Cruz would lose to Hillary too

Cruz's favorables are higher than both of them.

Transcript of Trump's supposed speech. Actually, it's really good, but I doubt he even gives this speech.

That's a well written speech. Now, how the hell are you going to get him to deliver it that well?

He will be so pissed that the speech leaked that he goes off the cuff and gives another dummy speech.

Ditto. Scary as fck. But I have high hopes on Trump being utterly unable to deliver that speech.

Yeah. If Trump had developed that sort of coherent message a few months ago, he would be doing much better in the polls than he is right now.

On a semi-serious note, has anyone checked the speech for plagiarism?

If he delivers that speech, I'm actually worried that he will get a significant convention bounce.

You're all so paranoid that you think Trump speaking in coherent sentences will be our doom. Reminds me of Palin back in 2008.

Don't underestimate how low of a bar he's set himself. If he speaks in coherent sentences, the media will go on and on about how polished and eloquent he is, saying that we're seeing a "new side" of Trump, and that he's showing that he's prepared to be president.

That line in the invocation about not shouting out insults should have been said to Trump personally.

Funny that the band is playing this AC/DC song at the RNC which resulted in the most socially conservative platform ever. The performance of Sweet Caroline sure fired people up, though. The delegates were loving that.

That little girl who sang earlier was incredible though. Really cute kid.

So are there people who think there will still be a convention bounce? There's no way sane people watching at home will actually like what's going on here.

Well, the early numbers do not look good: http://pollways.bangordailynews.com/2016/07/21/national/is-trump-getting-a-negative-bounce-from-the-gop-convention/

If those numbers hold up, he needs to really knock this speech out of the ballpark or he could risk an inverse bump.
