Too bad he didn't get his buddy Viktor Yanukovych to headline and talk about how he made Ukraine great again.

I wonder if this guy will support Trump in his "I like the ones who weren't shot down" position.

Who do you mean when you say "this guy" ?

"Lone survivor" guy who spoke a couple of minutes ago.

Have we ever had a first lady, whose first language wasn't English?

Maybe Van Buren's wife? His first language was Dutch.

Do we have any updates on when the roll call is starting? The cable channels don't seem to be prepping for it.

Funny. I'm out in California and I'm having those same symptoms just from hearing about the convention.

Since California delegates are unanimously pro-Trump might this be part of an elaborate plot to sabotage his nomination from #NeverTrump forces?

Only state where primary winner isn't convention winner so far is Iowa.

Also DC - but those are weird circumstances.

I don't know what's more sad, the fact that they compliment themselves by saying they have a winning team in the second-tear college football league, or that their delegate totals don't look anything like their original results.

I haven't been keeping track of the exact percentages, but here's a map of the roll call vote so far simplified to Trump vs. Not Trump:

I'm glad MSNBC cut away to an interview with Kasich so I didn't have to see my state's delegation vote for Trump.

Another Trump vs. Not Trump map. Out of respect for Utah and DC's delegates, I kept them blank.

I'm sure if Trump delivers a coherent speech, Atlas will have one of its bipolar freak-outs about it.

Ann Coulter would probably argue that if Trump gives a coherent speech, his base will freak out and leave him for a more insane candidate.
