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

And your party is about to nominate a criminal

Where are the charges? That's right, there are none. Go sit down.

Yeah, because she covered her tracks. Comey's entire speech was a lambasting. You can so tell he wanted to indict. If you're gonna call Rick Scott a criminal, then so is Hillary Clinton.

What Comey did was highly inappropriate. If he found no cause for indictment, he had no business making a speech lambasting anyone.

This is a terrible speech by a candidate's spouse. Bill Clinton's speech will make this mess look like jabberwocky.

This is not compelling at all. It doesn't even seem like she likes him all that much, because there is no feeling behind anything she is saying.

I understand why Trump selected Pence. He wanted someone extremely boring who would not upstage him.

The video was weak. These attempts to sell Trump as a credible and decent person are weak. I have never seen such a phony, weak effort to sell any nominee at any convention.

God...he is HORRIBLE at this....he sounds terrible, the pauses are so obvious

No he's not. The average voter is too focused on what he's saying to care.
Repeating statistics is not a good speech. Only the extremists that he already has locked up would like this speech.

I can't watch any more of this.

Gonna be a rough eight years for you, little buddy.

Don't count on it. White supremacists don't get elected President.

I have to say, it worries me because this speech seems pretty effective.

How so? He's rattled off a bunch of stats and been all over the place with the theme.

This speech endears him to people who are already voting for him.
