Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

Took a quick trip down South to Syracuse hoping I wouldn't miss much and. . .

This woman is crazy.

She lost her child.

So she has a good explanation for being crazy. Doesn't change the facts.

Facts? Were you in the room when Hillary! told her what she did? Seems like you are calling Mrs. Smith a liar.

Good job, you figured it out. She's a liar.

Doubtful. Mrs. Smith lost her son.

Hillary! and Obama had the election at stake.

Who has more motive to lie here?

How do you explain the other people in the room who say Hillary didn't say what Pat said she did? Cherryl Bennet, mother of Tyrone Woods, said that no video was mentioned.

Gee, is it possible, just possible that these were private conversations between the Smith family and Hillary?

Kate Quigley, Jan Stevens, and Barabara Doherty never heard a video mentioned. What Doherty did remember was that Clinton was "sincere and crying." Why would Clinton only tell Smith that a video was the cause?

She didn't JUST tell Mrs. Smith.

From your own sourcing:

Charles Woods, father of CIA operative Tyrone Woods, told talk show host Glenn Beck on Oct. 25, 2012, that Clinton said to him, "We will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted."

Yet this conflicts with the other four people mentioned above. The two people who do say they remember a video being mentioned have either appeared on conservative radio or conservative television to say something bad about a liberal, even though what they're saying doesn't line up with what everybody else said.

You do get the concept of a PRIVATE conversation between one family and Hillary! and remarks to the entire group, right?

I do, but I don't get why Clinton would tell different people different things or lie to some people but not to others.

Today I learned you can win an election without any substance or truth as long as you spread enough anger, fear, and hate.

You didn't know that before?

What I didn't realize was that you could gather all the crazies into one stadium and have them applaud the anger, fear, and hate on national television.

[Wells]

If Trump actually gets a convention bounce from this, then I will be greatly disappointed in America.

[Wells]

I'm surprised the Sikh lady isn't being booed off the stage.

She told them she's not Muslim.

[Wells]

Please don't bring my state into this.

[Wells]

Did Ryan just shush the audience? What was that?

[Wells]

Look at Trump's African-American!

[Wells]

Wow, Junior is a dirty capitalist. Shut up with the free market bs.

[Wells]

Like Trump would actually do any of that. It's going to be funny if he does win and starts governing as a liberal.

[Wells]

Dear GOP, please stop using death as a political weapon.

Dear Democrats, quit killing people and supporting terrorists. kay thanx bye bye.

Okay. They don't do either of those things.

[Wells]

RIP convention bounce.

[Wells]

This also shows how incompetent Trump is when compared to Hillary. The Democrats pretty much lined up and told Sanders to walk off a cliff if he did not endorse before the convention. Trump allowed Cruz to nuke him at his own convention without even getting a promise of an endorsement before Cruz committed to the speech

This convention has been too bad for it to not be intentional by Trump.

If they did, they are idiots.

Or plants.

[Wells]

This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard in this convention.

[Wells]

TRUMP! TRUMP! TRU - I mean, well I just got caught up in this energy. HIGH ENERGY SPEECH! ALL LIVES MATTER! ALL LIVES MATTER! ALL. . . um. Sorry.

[Wells]

Trump speech tonight has been leaked before he reads it:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-speech-full-text_us_5791547ae4b0bdddc4d3ea99?uvkz0homss9d4pldi

anyone think this will be a thing mentioned in the media or will no one notice?

I am honestly shocked that this is not being talked about in the media. This speech did not just "leak" ... it was leaked by an insider to a Democratic superpac.

It makes you wonder...

Trump?

I do not think so. But the source did say it was leaked by a "legitimate" Republican, according to Politico.

Trump is a Democratic plant.

[Wells]

Trump is for equal pay now? He's not even trying to hide the fact that he's a plant. And his supporters eat it up.

[Wells]

Trump is liberal, according to Ivanka. It's true, but I want expecting it at the convention.

[Wells]

That speech was amazing! Ivanka for president IMO.
