I thought maybe it would be good to have a main thread for the RNC so there wasnt 1000 new topics posted about stuff going on during the convention. If you guys think its a good idea, please pin this. If you dont, just delete the thread.



The next 4 days are gonna be a laughing stock and one hell of a cluster f*ck. Get your popcorn ready folk!

I think it's a great idea to have a 'Convention' specific thread and I agree its going to be a cluster.  Trump in all of his 'glory' will demonstrate how much of a buffoon he really is and will continue to be an embarrassment to the GOP.  He can't help himself. The MSM will happily be focusing on all of Trump's shortcomings. The only day I plan to tune in is on Wednesday which is the day Cruz is supposed to give his speech.

One positive;  some of the RINO's won't be attending; Kasich, Bush dynasty, Rubio and Romney. Christie and Giuliani will make up for the RINO absence.

You're assuming anyone will even be watching? Cruz will be the only one I watch.
Maybe on a RINO forum, but I highly doubt any of our members will be watching, I know I won't, unless Trump is resigning, then I'll pay attention.

The anarchists and democrats are likely to distract from the convention nonsense by being stupid with protests and silly remarks.

When does the Republican Convention start....?

I heard something was going on in Cleveland, some kind of MRS. Trump pageant, or family glamor show, with 6-7 of the Trump clan speaking >yawn<   I'll feed the popcorn to the ducks.

I will be watching off and on.  I like to see what all sides are doing.  Mostly I am looking for signs the GOP has someone they are developing, maybe speaking on the undercard.  The Democrats started grooming Obama in 2000. The GOP needs stop waiting for leaders to naturally rise to the top they need to grow some leaders.



After 911 a Illinois Congresswoman was in a greeting line with President Bush for a Congressional Dinner the President was having for Congress and she had a pin that said "Obama for President" President Bush at first thought it said "Osama for President" and the Congresswoman explained Obama was a state senator from Illinois.  President Bush said "Never heard of him."  The Congresswoman replied "You will, Mr. President.  You will."


And in 2004 the DNC gave Obama a keynote spot where he gave his "There is only One America" speech.  The GOP needs something like that. Conservatives need someone like that.


Conservatives (and I would say this applies to every ideology) need to do this.  Ted Cruz may be your guy today but he is not the best you can do IMO.  And I will say this to Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party Supporters, Libertarians, Whomever you are, your party or movement should be searching to BUILD a leader that espouses your key fundamentals.  Anything else seems like just leaving the whole thing to chance and the problem with that is those strategies lose a lot more than they win.

We need to grow more leaders on purpose in this country.  From all sides.  Because no matter what side you are on we will need someone that can work across the aisle to get anything done unless we are satisfied with the status quo in which case we should keep doing what we are doing because we will keep getting the same results.

Conservatives need to figure out a way to get more people to want to support those ideals.  An immovable object ...never moves.

IMO.

Seriously, who was surprised when the party bulls actually did this? Who among us does NOT believe these morons did so, believing that by November those naughty scamps will return to the (*choke*) Big Tent where all will be spiffy.

They keep this crap up, airdrop liquor and guns and bolt the damn doors.

If Cruz doesn't get to speak on Wednesday, bring in guys with flame-throwers. Barbecue RINO. Potato salad and sweet corn, extra.

Exactly.  I need to catch up on my soap opera and there's always reruns of Impractical Jokers to watch.

By the time Wednesday rolls around, there may be no convention left. People are pissed!

Who is on the DNC bench?

Some great speakers tonight. Marcus Latrell, Sheriff Clarke, Rudy was great though he shouldn't shout because he sounds like he may shit himself.  Jeff sessions looked like a deer in the headlights. Melania Trump was lovely. She did an awesome job.

The great speakers seemed to have gotten the convention back on track. I don't who was responsible for the lineup, but it was good.
