We're really, really white in West Virginia, just like you!

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

President Trump

Donald J. Trump Jr.

Chris Christie

 

[kevin1025]

Honestly, Donald Jr. is a much better speaker than Donald Sr. Low bar, granted, but purely in terms of delivery, that was very effective.

He'll be back in 2024 to give the same speech, but about himself. Just watch.

 

[RustyNails]

Why is he talking for soooo loooooooooooonzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well just you wait until Ben Carson is out!

I've been to 18 conventions and this is first where aisles on floor are clear and galleries half full at best.

It's hilarious how the media is desperately trying to ignore all of this. The lackluster crowd, the empty seats, and other passes.

Ugh that is a strong possibility.

 

[DorkLord54]

It's frightening because he does it better than his father.

I wonder if the Trumps are our Le Pens.

That's actually a scary thought, especially if Jr. finds a way to bring minorities into his message.

Shivers

Well just you wait until Ben Carson is out!

OH good

I'm about to go to bed. perfect timing ben!

 

[jmood88]

I swear that these pundits are grading on a curve when they're talking about how great the speeches are.

 

[Sianos]

Don't pass laws because criminals don't follow them anyway!

Unless they are laws to ensure the legality of the torture of gay children - we need to make sure to amend our platform to explicitly endorse those!

Conventions are filled by the ground-game-teams, so it gives you a picture of that. Trump is still running on his own, albeit with a bit more support, but it's still a hugely divided party that is missing the campaign machine that only a Bush or Rubio would have had backing them, so there's a void and it's perfectly illustrated in that image.

 

[Felix Lighter]

The mock trial convinced me to donate a bit more to the Democratic party.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Electing Donald Trump will automatically make America great again?

Yes, if your version of great again is eroding the gains that have been made in the past eight years and cemented the future.

It will happen exceedingly quickly.

 

[Dishwalla]

Again fuck coal, no sympathy for that garbage.

 

[hawk2025]

Fun fact:


They've probably mentioned coal more times than anything else in the supposed main theme of the night of "jobs".

A dirty industry that accounts for 0.12% of employment in the country.

 

[Supast4r]

PC master race sucks

Fixed

 

[NullPointer]

Fuck the Erf is all I'm hearing.

I'm proud to be on the side Hillary's anti-coal agenda.

 

[Captin Quacker]

won't someone please thing of coal!!!!

 

[kevin1025]

I'll give the woman this, she's talking about jobs. But not how to make America work again. More like, "Hillary will kill jobs, and yeah, that's all I got."

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

Fuck coal. Fuck coal country. And fuck coal mining and how dangerous it is. We don't need it anymore. If they lose their jobs they lose their jobs that's just how it works.

I'm sure stagecoach drivers and all others in the industry around horse transportation were terrified of the invention of the car. Well tough shit.

 

[Prodigal Son]

I just fookin loove coal

 

[Measley]

Why is Trump's son talking about the details of hard work? Yes, I am rich-fuck shaming. Tell America more about this hard work.

It's hard work to be born the son of a billionaire and never have to worry about your family being homeless or starving. It's a bitch to have the whole world on a platter waiting for your exploitation.

Republican voters are actually dumb enough to believe that a man born into wealth understands the plight of the working and poor (white) man and is looking out for their best interests. A man born into wealth who wants to cut taxes for himself and rob the working class and poor of various social programs.

Johnson was right.

 

[jabuseika]

so topical

 

[Applesauce]

Shit speakers for a shit party

This lady with the glasses is pissing me off.

Got her!

Coal is not healthy for people

 

[helloresolven]

Guys, guys, coal is AWESOME!

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Christie, go away you bridge troll.

 

[pirata]

I would certainly hope that HRC isn't mining coal all day long. I don't want a coal miner in the White House.

 

[Kusagari]

Your state is fucked, Capito. Just accept it.

 

[Furyous]

It's about time someone talked about the fucking LIBRYUL culture. Them and their fucking PC, I AM JOKING WITH ALL OF THIS, culture talking about being nice to people and showing fucking decency. Nah, fuck that and Donald J. Trump is the way towards freedom from the LIBRYUL PC shackles.

Will someone please, please, please, talk about why we should vote for Trump? Give me something different he'll do. I can't believe we voted for this guy. LOOOL, at a female Congressman in the pocket of the coal lobby chastising Obama for not supporting coal.

President Obama has governed as a Moderate Republican so this convention is laughable.

 

[NullPointer]

A day in the life of Donald Trump and a coal miner couldn't be more different.

 

[Media]

I'll give the woman this, she's talking about jobs. But not how to make America work again. More like, "Hillary will kill jobs, and yeah, that's all I got."

Yeah I wish they would actually like, lay down some speeches about how they are going to fix literally anything. The only thing they've given us so far is 'Hilary is literally the devil, so vote for us.'

In States that they are going to win anyway. This is whole convention is entirely focused on their base. No attempts at reaching out. This really is weird.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

I'm staying for Carson lol

 

[echoshifting]

You know what's kind of insane?

Not a single person in here defending this shit. I don't think that's normal at all.

 

[E-Cat]

"Fuck Obama for stopping coal mines from inflicting terrible damage on the environment over short-term profits".

"Those democrats are totes out of touch with the blue collar worker, hur durr".

 

[paperboywriter]

Hillary out of touch-talk about coal mining

 

[Rebel Leader]

Good

Fuck Congress

 

[Aikidoka]

I'm staying for Carson lol

They said he was up next like hours ago.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Republicans are republicans because being naughty gets you coal in your stockings come Christmas time

 

[hawk2025]

Right?

If they really want to go for populist protectionism, bring up manufacturing, cars, you name it.


They keep fucking mentioning coal, nonstop.

I mean, they're the only working class sector that the Republicans have a complete hold on, it's one of the reasons why they always win WV in the presidential election, and part of the reason why they think they can win Penn, despite Philly and Pitt being where they should focus on.
