I wonder how many speakers aren't going to mention Trump's name at all.  That'll be interesting to watch.

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

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

False equivalence

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

Terrific!  And?

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

A Republican primary, yes.  Trump will not win the general.

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

She told them she's not Muslim.

She probably had to.

I'm pretty sure the black women present at the convention are the only black women in the country who will cast a vote for Trump.

I swear, Walker has less hair every time I see him.
Priebus as well.

To be fair, Priebus has good reason for having lost his hair, after the hot mess of the past few months.

I think Scott Walker is the least charismatic person in existence.  He doesn't seem physically capable of changing the tone of his voice.

Wow, I'm not interested in any of those except the Trumps.

I'm looking forward to Peter Thiel's speech because I have no idea how someone can square being a Trump supporter with being one of the most notable Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and an anarcho-capitalist.

His politics are just very strange.

Reince's voice is even shakier and nerdier than usual...

That's because he wishes Trump wasn't the nominee.  I'm not even sure he'll vote for him.

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

Agreed.  He had a motivational speaker-esque quality about him.
