Priebus always sounds so dopey.

Btw, is there some type of infection in Wisconsin that causes all men to get giant bald spots like Priebus and Walker? RIP ElectionsGuy and MasterJedi.

Dana Bash is claiming that this guy is handing out "Never Trump" buttons on the RNC floor?

Is that safe? That doesn't sound like a safe thing to do.

Is anyone else worried that Trump's speech may seal a win for him?

Your as bad as Beet.

Beet has actually chilled out a lot since the non-indictment. Spooky Mike and Hagrid are now auditioning for his vacant spot as Head Chicken Little. Tongue

I'll gladly take that spot Wink

If you make grandiose statements like that, it's good to actually have evidence to back it up, rather than just adjectives and blank platitudes.

Well, I was expressing my views.  

But if you want "evidence", then go back and watch the RNC on YouTube or some such place that carries them.  I'm sure you can find them.

I was talking about the speaker at the time, not you. Sorry about the confusion.

This is at least the second time this convention they've played "Can't Get Enough" by Bad Company.

Has she been historically wrong on this kind of thing? I have followed politics for a long time, but I'm newer to using CNN has a source.

She tends to speculate before any solid evidence comes out

What I have mainly heard from the RNC so far is angry men, white and black, a very disappointing speech from the would be First Lady, and a Nazi salute from a female speaker.

Thiel saying he was proud to be gay led to cheering and applause.

Not a bad Thiel speech but he spent half of it making the case for big government.

Wow. Did Thiel look really wound up to you? Almost coked up? I was really looking forward to that speech but he spoke so fast... he even walked really really fast.

I don't see why not. Thiel is a brilliant guy. I don't agree with his politics, but I admire him for his success and for not shying away from his sexual orientation.

Is a superPAC guy allowed to speak at the convention? Doesn't that require "co-ordinating"?

Tom Barrack might be the only good speaker that this convention has had.
